Want a smoker?

I'm genuinely not kidding when I say this think could win in a bar fight:

As I use the lathe more and more in my larger projects, I'm beginning to realize how cathartic turning is. So I thought I'd test out making this cocktail smoker.

How to make, or how I made this cocktail smoker
Let’s get into it
I started by squaring a piece of curly cherry
Then cut it down to 4 equal 4 an ⅛” pieces
And laminated them together into a turning blank
Once the glue cured, I used a square to mark center on either face
Then placed it between the headstock and tail stock and began rounding over the sharp edges until the blank was cylindrical
I could have used the table saw to cut away more of the corners before mounting to the lathe, but I just felt like turning.
With the cylinder roughed out, I used the table saw and cross cut sled to cut the smoker down to size as a test cut for cutting the lid away from the smoker
After that, I mounted the lid to the spinded, and turned a slight lip to sit inside the smoker
Then, sanded it down.
Next, i anchored the smoker to the spindle and carved out the chamber that would hold the wood chips
With that complete, I removed it from the spindle and repositioned the smoker between the headstock and tailstock and got to work turning the chimney
While I get ready to sand it down, let me invite you to check out more behind the scenes content over on patreon, link in description below.
Once sanded I pre drilled the center point for the chimney , then used a 1 / 8” forstner bit to hollow it out. Making sure to drill from either end to avoid tear out
I’ll save those for later.
With that done, I used a ¼” forstner to drill across the chimney to allow for better smoke collection within the glass.
The, used an orbital sander to tidy up the top of the lid not previously sanded while on the lathe
And finished it off with a food safe butcher block oil.
Once the oil had dried, I cut a piece of fine mesh to fit inside the smoker to act as a debris catch and hold the wood chips that will be used to create the smoke
I sanded down any sharp edges,
And that’s a wrap.
Also if you’re in the market for an American made, milled to perfection, Shaker that is also hefty enough to take out an unruly bar patron, my good friends over at C&D tools have the right one for you.
Cheers!
Until next time.
Came for the smoker, stayed for the jazz. Great work!
Haha! Thanks 🙌🏻
cutting the cylinder on the table saw is so dangerous. Even with the sled and small bites. If it grabs, it can take your fingers or throw that block at your head.
Please use a thin parting tool while on the lathe. or use the bandsaw with the round piece in a V sled. both faster and safer.
Beautiful work!
Wow Great work!
Are tried one and was curious how it’s made
Thanks, Vlad! 🥃
I love the music.
That turned out lovely 🤣😂👍
Thanks, Jules! 🙌🏻
Really cool! I think you're absolutely nailing the midcentury aesthetic as of late.
I do have to ask a process question: why not part off the lid on the lathe itself? The table saw method obviously worked, but at least you wouldn't have to deal with re-mounting the two parts of the smoker and turning them back to round (which is where I inevitably screw up).
Aw, thanks so much!
I think more than anything, technical proficiency! I’m going to take some time before doing the small batch orders to try and make one using the parting tool.
Yes I've been waiting for this!!!
I can’t possibly be the only one very minimally concerned with burning wood glue am I?
no you are not, was my first thoought when she took the wood chips and said ''i'll save these for later''... i was like ...plz don't
Nope. That's been my biggest concern on all of these DIY cocktail smokers. Heat is one thing, but direct fire is another
Great video
Nice choice with the Luxardos

Excellent music 🎶
Buy yourself a glue brush. Silicone basting brush works good. Let the glue dry and it peels right off the silicone bristles.
How did you remove the screw holes from the lid from mounting your faceplate? That is the ONLY part I can't figure out. Nice work!
Since you drilled all the way through the chimney, do you get debris in your drink that slips through the mesh? I'm making my first one tomorrow. Nervous, but ready for the challenge.
Good question, Cody! I trimmed and sanded the attachment holes away. A bandsaw would work great, or a patient sander haha.
And yes, when the carbon got small enough, a little would fall through the mesh, but I’ve actually been upgrading the mesh with both a tighter weave and messing around with chemically etched screens. I messed around with closing the port but found it inhibited the inversion that draws the smoke into the glass more than I’d like.
Good luck! Send a picture!
Thanks for the idea. Just got over 20 orders for my cocktail smoker. Haha. Gotta go to rockler and wipe out their 4x4x4 blanks.
@@HonestWorkDesigns I would mount to a wood faceplate with double-sided tape, the bring up the tail stock to secure it. I’m going to try that.
Do you sell these?? Love it 😍
I do! Check out tinesmokedcocktails.com - they’re on back order atm, but should be back in stock the first week of January!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
nice, got the wood. now i only need a couple thousands worth of machinery
you don't need that much, there are different ways, drill press and a few hole saws is enough.
and? who was ever expecting it not to be made with equipment. Your problem is the device you watched this vid on used $$$millions in equipment to make, your ignorant to realise of that to make your snide comment.
@@mrrberger 😂 cry me a river
Where’s the mesh from?
I cut it from some kitchen grade, food safe, stainless steel 8x10” I got from Amazon.
Nice work.
I just hope you didn’t smoke drinks with the wood chips you saved from the chimney drilling.
How much?
The link with the deets is in the description! ☺️
I really love your job❤️ can i get one that❤️🥺
Thanks! I ship anywhere in the continental US!
I really appreciate it❤️ but i’m not in the continental US, i’m in Indonesia
A girl who actually paid attention in wood shop. Good job.
That looked like a lump of charcoal you dropped in there. A little *too* smoky for my taste.
That was a cherry!
Whatever you say, my dude.
