Thanks, Hamilton! When I grow up, I'm likely going to get a CNC machine. I'm only sixty years old now, and I want to enjoy my childhood before I take on something serious like that. But in case I forget, I've subscribed.

I've not seen a maker's video like this before. Very transparent on the costs and processes. It's important to show the customer why things cost as much as they do, especially more expensive products. For example, in my experience, luxury packaging at £20k, on to the final price, including product reatails at over £120k. No-one could even guess that unless you list all the elements. Enjoyed the video dude. Wish you a lot of success.

Mineral oil isn't what is used in smoke machines. That's a glycol. Mineral oil is just a light petroleum oil. But it's still most likely on par in the health risks anyway, the smoke itself from the wood is most likely the most health risky thing in the whole process 😅

Yeah, I came here to say the same thing lol. Imagine mineral oil being vaporized and pumped into a crowd of people. Yikes. Regardless, we're talking about combustion in these smokers, not vaporization. I think the mineral oil is fine to use though. Combustion doesn't seem to create any particularly nasty byproducts. He should probably be a little more cautious though, just for the fact that all it would take is one petty beauracrat to decide to be a hero for him to get mixed up in some litigious BS.

The largest question is "What is Greed?" Or rather, "What is the goal?" If the goal is to do something enjoyable, then money isn't the most important factor. However, even when money is the most important part, trying to have 90+% of a small pie means less money than having 20% or less of a much larger pie. Nothing wrong with wanting to make money, and the more people who do this the more money is made.

I've been doing silicone molds and urethane resin castings for almost 25 years. Over the years I've come up with techniques to greatly simplify and improve the quality of the mold making process. For anyone wanting to get into this, I'm happy to share information that will help them skip all the harder, more time consuming stuff. Take advantage of *my* problems and what I learned from them. But does anyone listen to the guy who has these years of experience and has made parts that have gone into vehicle restorations which have been on the Concours d'Elegance show tour? Noooo. They copy the old methods the manufacturers of the materials demonstrate and that KZbinrs have in their videos. Most recently I sent an email to a costume and props company in the UK, after seeing a video of how they do vacuum casting. I told them I'd be happy to give them some tips to save them hours of time and expense VS the way they made the mold and cast it in the video. No response. I guess they *love* wasting time, spending money on unnecessary materials, and on wasted resin. This is one of the biggest things to understand in anything you'll do. Know how to observe other people's screwups then don't do what they did wrong. Skip right to what they did when they finally got it right, especially when they're telling you all of that *for free*. But in this world where it's very easy to see the consequences of things like smoking, drugs, alcohol, using power tools unsafely, not looking into the LASER with remaining eye... people will still repeat the same mistakes before they learn for themselves. Makes me want to grab the human race by the ears and tell it "See what this idiot did and what happened? Do. Not. Do. That."

Note for some looking to do this (commenting early I'm the video so idk if it's referenced) some woods are toxic when inhaled, ingested, or even from spenters. Most basic hardwoods are safe but be sure to check health recommendations on any wood in question. Purple heart is beautiful but is a prime example of a toxic wood I wouldn't recommend. Happy crafting!

Also, be extra suspicious of things that are not your 'core business'. They will bite you with hidden problems AND return a slimmer profit margin than the thing you do well. In this example, a cheap, pre-filled keyring torch might help you put together a premium offer (eg, bare smokers $25 each, or gift pack of 2 for $60 inc torch and chips), but ultimately selling tools is not the core business here.

It's a device used to apply smoke to whiskey, intended to impart a more smoky flavor. Smoke flavors are valued in whiskey, in part because of how new whiskey barrels are prepared. One example is Laphroaig. Well worth trying.

Just a thought, you could probably do this with a router table, compound miter saw and drill press. Get a 4x4x8 and use the router to round the corners, compound miter to cut biscuits and a drill press to drill the hole straight through and a second with a depth stop for the chip chamber. Figure 2 in thick for the smoker add half an inch of loss to the compound miter saw and you get 38 smokers. Certainly more involved than a cnc but probably would work just as well

I happened to live in wine and brandy country near Barcelona in Spain known as the penedes wine region and and his home to both Freixenet Cava and Torres wines and brandies amongst a few other major names as well, all the barrels are made around here from Oak and I can buy half a dozen staves from a new barrel for about €3 and I get the ones from the old barrels for free. All I need to do is put them through the jointer and have a few cut out on the CNC. It might take a bit longer than using a flat plant as you are but I will have years and years of brandy infused wood. I may well have a look at these great idea thank you..

I have made a number of cocktail smokers over the years and have found that venting the smoker makes a huge diffrence. Running two groves on the coctail side from the center of your smoker to the outside edge air can escape while you are using the torch. You will find it takes much less of the torching to get your desired smoke result. Venting = Less torching, more smoke and less scortching of your cocktail smoker. Just thinking it would be an easy CNC process to improve your product.

I think you may be able to get the glass to fill with smoke without using the torch. Instead of using the shavings, use fine sawdust and light it with a normal lighter. I think you may have to pack the bowl a little bit and also the screen may need to be shaped so that the saw dust will have a slight underside cavity. If this does work the smoke should cascade down into the glass instead of being forced into it by the torch. It doesn’t take much smoke to make the flavor, so any smoke lost upwards won’t be a big deal. Maybe worth a try. Also, this will drastically reduce the flame damage to the board, so it will last much longer.

I don't exactly know why KZbin coaxed me to this video, but you instantly caught my attention showing the hours of filming and editing at the end. Excited to see your end of year breakdown now -- you got a new subscriber! :)

This sort of thing happened to me in a different capacity. One of my most basic products (to make) is the best seller........ and even though I've got many projects I think are cooler....... I just make the one that sells.... and the others can be ordered on demand.

Hey man great video! I really like the transparency, Alot of people have a famine mindset and horde all there knowledge and try to minimize people trying to do something similar or getting into the same thing. I think it's great you're sharing all this and building people up instead of breaking people down thats the way it should be.

You can get mini torches. Like a pencil torch for $5. And if we're being honest. Most gas station torch lighter works just fine.

I don't drink but if I did and were to want a whisky smoker I would prefer the rounded-over version AND would have no problem paying the addition cost (whatever it was). Maybe you could take the same number of both the rounded-over and the square-edge versions so people could compare (and see how many you come home with unsold). That way you would know for a certainty what the buying public wanted. To me, I would think, whisky is more of a savoring experience so the nice rounded over edge just adds to the pleasure. Thanks for posting.
