Follow along with our builds!
We had an absolute blast last night and can't begin to tell everyone who came how grateful we are that they joined us to celebrate our wedding. @holyquesmokes absolutely killed the food, and his staff made everything so enjoyable and stress free. Thank you again brother!
When ya wanna feel like you contributed more then just asking a question. These will be getting painted tomorrow morning! Can't wait to see how they turn out

Got one firebox 80% finished. Packing it with insulation and capping it tomorrow. Got all my pieces cut today, so should be able to get some real work done this week. Have a great night and Happy Mother's day!

Got a well done handle coming up! I have always noticed that with these handles, sometimes they'll never get hot enough to cure the paint (thankfully). So, a clearance sale roaster oven does wonders for those smaller parts you want hi temp paint on

For anyone who knows me, I hate painting. My shops too small and I don't have anywhere else. But damnit, they do look good with wet paint lol have a great night!

Got a packed house here still but loving the progress finally! Got the back of the big live fire cooker cut out, so that's getting paint this week and getting mounted up! Then got some firebox pieces to cut for the backyard pits, a fully weld out the fabricated pit, and so on and so forth
! Can't wait to finally start moving forward again

Got the first 2 coats on this combo cooker, and it's looking better then the day I first built it. Hope you all had a great day!

#mayformakers2023 day 2 - my shop.
This is my shop in all of its cramped glory. CNC takes up a bunch of room, but I'm still able to knock out a decent amount of projects from here. Lucky enough to have it though, but hopefully I'll be moving into a larger commercial space within a year or two. But until then, this fits the bill!
#mayformakers2023
Day 1: About me - Little bit about me for those who don't know. My name's Chris. That's the best boy in the world Remi. I'm born and raised in the sometimes great state of NJ. Professionally trained as a Diesel Technician, but have been doing woodworking since I was able to hold hammer with my dad. I own my business, but building smokers is just a side business for me as of right now (really want to change that, hopefully in the near-ish future). Been a maker my whole life, was always better at taking things apart then I was at reassembling them (lost a computer and a few VCRs that way). The plan is to eventually go full time with smokers/fabrication, but don't want to jump that ship too early.
Had a little bit of time tonight, so finished cutting out some pieces for @lucs bike show trophies. CNC is running great, but she's begging for the upgrade. Soon.. Very soon

Got both smoke stacks installed, did some more work on the firebox doors, and also did some work on the big ass smoker outside.. moving right along. Steel comes hopefully this week, sandblaster this week as long as weather cooperates, and more progress hopefully. Have a great night!

Got some more little details done on the 2 #LilMoneyPits that I've been chipping away at. Door stops installed, firebox doors are ready to be welded on. This weekend will hopefully bring the completion of everything but the outer skins on the FB. Fingers crossed. Hope everyone has a great day!

It's always nice to get a handle on things.. especially both cookers. Moving right along on these two. Hope everyone had a great day!

Was MIA last week off social because I was down in Atlantic City having an absolute blast with some of my best friends for my bachelor party. One of the highlights was doing a tour and tasting with the amazing crew over at @littlewaterdistillery in Atlantic City right down from the boardwalk. Next time you're in the area, it's worth the trip. After trying all their spirits, I can honestly say I'm really excited to see what comes out of this place.
When something doesn't wanna cooperate.. you may need to break out the torch, the porta power.. or a simple little dog and wedge may just do the trick. This is a good solution for me to get my hinges where I wanted them, and once I finish cut the door and I straighten everything out they should line up with only a bit of massaging. Hope everyone had a good day!

Something very satisfying about needing a part that you thought you had, realizing you didn't, and just as quickly fixing the problem with a robot. Pretty productive night, so I'm choppin down some of the beard tonight and getting some sleep. Tomorrow is a busy day. Have a great night!
