We have wanted a smoker for a while but keep finding other things that require our financial attention (read: machine room in the shop) so I built one instead. I had a lot of fun and with moderate welding skills this is a very accessible project. I spent just $100 on parts and another $75 on the Weber racks. Cheers!

Welcome Samuel to my youtube playlist
Here is a suggestion for your blackberries. As you want them to grow in rows. To get them to co-operate I think that you don't have enough lines (cable). I think that you need them 6" apart. Should you do this you will be in a better position to weave the shoots along the the cables. This will keep the shoots in the line & it should be easier to find & pick the fruit. The only problem is that you have to remove last year's canes & do it all again.
I followed a guide from Nourse Farms for trellis spacing. The stems are fairly rigid and grow fast. I was only able to weave half the new canes in but when I remove the old one this Fall I was use small Velcro straps to train them and secure them to the cables. Removing the old canes is my least favorite task and requires a lot of cutting into smaller pieces of angry stabby sticks.
what temp does this get up to?
191F - that way it can be used for the Texas shrink bags for packaging.
Where did you get the galvanized weld in nut? I would like to weld mine in. NPT thread right? I seen some they calling a lock nut that looks like that. Store or link?
I upgraded to a larger heating element in this video czcams.com/video/OPqYN-aFAHk/video.html and recommend just getting this nut amzn.to/3AwohZq I think I bought the one I welded in locally at ace or Menards - went to plumbing and found the right thread/size (1” NPT is correct)
Really like your tool tray under the DRO! Will have to design up something like that for mine. Just did a 2 axis install on my mill. A tip for you - if you want to change from 5 digits after the decimal to 4, in the inches mode, press the Setup key, press 123 in the password box, press enter. Repeat and this will toggle between 4 & 5 digits after the decimal. 4 places is plenty of accuracy for the capability of a Bridgeport. I find the 5 digits too busy. There is nothing in the manual about this. Found it on a ToAuto CZcams channel short. Thanks for sharing!
That’s awesome! I had my doubts but just tried it and it worked. 4 decimal places is much better.
Where did you find the other louvers ? I-need one for my 16cw , and taper attachment covers .
Dumb luck. A generous fellow on the Monarch Lathe Owners and Operators Facebook group sent them when he saw I was missing two. I found louvered panels that could be cut to fit and painted on the Grizzly parts website. They would do the job but look nowhere near as nice. The company Monarch cannot supply the panels anymore - I checked.
Amazing
1:35 drop them in vinegar for 3 days then paint
I have spent many hours with a 1941 Monarch, thanks
Noice brother
My monarch is a cw 16x78 , January 1941, It was also originally green with yellow handles , but someone painted it battle ship gray before it went into storage, he must have used a battle ship paint roller , because he painted everything but the ways ,
👍🏻
This video has been popping up on my feed for weeks. I haven't watched it because it was a vertical / electric smoker. Been when I heard you talking about justifying your $10,000 lathe by building a $100 smoker... I knew I should have watched this a while ago and subscribed.
Thanks man! I should really make a follow up on the smoker. I didn’t do a good job showing off how much we use it. Been using it a ton without the middle section - killer way to make chicken and brats and it’s basically replaced or Weber charcoal grill.
@@samuelwiltzius nice!!
That was impressive, kudos to you
Can you please tell me about this project
Hi brother
I just purchased a nearly identical lathe and a J-Head Bridgeport. Very glad I found your channel. I worked in a machine shop in college for a bit, so I’m excited to get back into machining.
That’s awesome! Best of luck getting your machines set up. I have no prior experience with machining so I’ll probably be watching far more machine content than I upload.
@@samuelwiltzius I’m pretty fortunate in that I have a very good friend who was a journeyman toolmaker/ master machinist for 30 years. He’s as excited about me getting a Bridgeport as I am. My machines came with over 500lbs of tooling and my friend is going to leave his entire tooling collection at my shop. I checked out a lot of your other videos. Man, that lathe rebuild was sooo much work! Great job.
@@atown4428Nice! In person mentoring is the best. I have an uncle nearby who is an experienced machinist and having a resource like that really quiets the static and cuts through the BS when learning.
Hi How much.
is this water cold?
How much did it cost???
Good evening, my name is Ghyslain and I admit that your way of working impresses me. I would like to learn how to make this machine. I live in Ivory Coast. Do you give lessons?
The hot water hose tap is genius. I need to do that in my house now
I only use it 5-6 times a year but when I need it the hot water outside tap is pretty great. I have a hose end that connects to both hot and cold faucets and allows me to dial in the right temperature too.
It works…but how did you manage to make it through life with all your fingers and toes intact? 😂
I usually have my kids do the dangerous stuff but CZcams doesn’t let you put kids in danger for filming purposes. But really, the abrasive pads won’t hurt you… and the diamond cutting discs won’t explode like the black compressed abrasive discs. Face, eyes, and ears all well protected.
@@samuelwiltzius I'm talking about the 2 minute mark when you are cutting within an inch or two of your toes! lol!
@@jay25443 haha, yeah that looks sketchy. It’s not nearly as dangerous as it looks because I’m using a diamond masonry blade. Now if it were a wood cutting blade… yikes!
Nice job! I'm retired now but love watching young people learning the trade.
Motor de 3.5 ???
Can you make automatic cutting machine
Super jab sir
There is not much you cant do with a shovel? 😂😂😂 Great video Sam! Very informative.
Thanks Joseph! I eventually got that saying right... my wife helps me review the videos before publishing and I had to pause at that point until she was done laughing at me.
@@samuelwiltzius Hahaha, I’m sure she was! That was pretty funny.
But the next turkey will taste particularly good. :) I would be very careful with boric acid. Greetings from Berlin
I will try to boil during better weather next time… and that pot is never getting used for food cooking ever again; I’m getting older - I’m entering the smoked meat life phase now 😉
@@samuelwiltzius I started cold smoking ham and salami 5 years ago. There is nothing that tastes better.
Hey, your video helped me a lot. I have the same DRO but I have lost my documentation and thus the setup password. 😅 Now I know that "TO AUTO" always uses the same password, namely 2008👍🏻 Thanks for the video and greetings from the good old Germany!
Glad it helped!
If you have good paint adhesion there is no need to use paint stripper. You can sand the edges of the chips, feather them out, prime and sand to smooth, and then paint. Typically all paint stripper does is make your job 10x harder, not better.
After 80+ years the paint varied widely from in tact to really poor. The decision to use stripper was because it had been repainted at least once and I had just finished freshening up the paint on a Bridgeport using only mechanical surface prep and it revealed it's own issues. I figured I might as well go all in and strip it... and all the paint dust from sanding the Bridgeport was a huge nuisance that I was happy to not repeat. A few areas like on the base and underside of the chip tray were quite good - but they were also the easiest to strip.
Parabéns belíssimo depenador só achei que a rotação ficou muita
very cool all the items shown in the video, the chips, the removal tool, and the candle holder with glass
Nice build and adaptation for your off grid cabin.
Thanks! I’m so excited this works.
Very nice! This is useful because I intend to do a similar cleanup on my Index 645 without a full disassembly. My lathe came with an ENC VFD. The instructions were terrible. I had set up my mill with a US brand of VFD and it was a breeze. I knew what I wanted the ENC to do; it was just harder to understand what to do to get there. On both of my machines I retained the original controls and wired/programmed them to the VFD.
Disposal ear plugs work good for keeping the paint out of the bolt holes. If you don’t use them a chase tap will clean them out. Also look up Don Dyer machining on CZcams, he is very knowledgeable about this manufacturer. Turned out great tho man 👍🏻 I went with a 2013 Clausing Metosa C1330s for my home shop. It’s a great machine, but nothing beats a Monarch. I just wish they spun faster. Mine cranks up to 2500 RPM’s and cuts metric and imperial threads, but it’s less than half the weight of yours and the heavy cast body is what makes it cut so good, among other things. Nowadays everything is CNC, I just don’t have the same interest in them. Enjoyed your series on the restoration.
awesome project, those stainless steel clamps at the end, where did you get those. I've been trying to find something like that.
They are left over from deck cabling hardware (spare pieces because I used screw eyes for attachment on the string lights instead) amzn.to/3yI05T8

Ableism in society is really important to identify and makes solutions to combat against. Everyone will become disabled or die young and see innovative accessible solutions like this is amazing because once we make it for people like him, we make it better for everyone❤️
Idk what it’s like to not have full function in every way but I know the feeling of being useless is worse than anything I’ve ever felt, being able to have a tool like this so that you can do what you need to is nothing short of amazing ❤

Down but not out 👍
This is awesome! After my grandfather had his stroke, his biggest gripe was that he felt useless. We found several things he could do around the house so he wouldn't feel that way anymore. Kudos to you and your creativity.
