- This is a full video on how to build a "Proper" Auto Rotisserie. The design is by Red Wing Steel Works.
This is not some ghetto DIY build.
Materials can be as cheap as $300 depending where you source your material. I overpaid for mine.
Your going to need a good amount of money, a good welder, good fabricating skills and patience.
I recommend getting the steel tubing for the bottom that joins the two rotisserie ends together.

Stick around for my next video on how to make custom mounts so you can attach your car to the rotisserie and what modification I did to the rotisserie to make it work for my car.
This auto rotisserie was not designed by me.
This video is just a guide on how to build one, you should have a qualified welder and always wear your PPE! - Авто та транспорт
Perfect timing for your video to pop up I downloaded the plans and purchased my steel about 10 years ago finally started welding pieces together last week no better satisfaction than building it yourself keep up the good work
Thank you! That's awesome! Good luck on your project! 😁
You did a fantastic job. I am also a fabricator. I build most of my tools, such as benders, presses, Hand tools and much more. Thumbs up.
Thank you for the kind words. Nice being able to build your own stuff!
If you haven't already have one,build yourself a welding table.
Bloody nice welding MATE, I agree with other people comments about building something yourself, plus you know the quality of workmanship that it took to make it👍👍👍👍👍👍
Haha, thank you. This was when I just got the garage set up, so I had to work on the floor. Now I have a work bench! Thanks for watching!
My man! Killing it Tony 👌
I’m currently about to start building the same one. I made the mistake of getting a quote from Metal Supermarket. It was OUTRAGEOUS…especially since some of the smaller lengths can be ordered from Amazon with minor cutting.
Thanks for the video! I’m the type that needs to see an actual completed product. Some of the lengths and decisions had me questioning clearance and operation.
Hey man. I went with super market at the time cause I paid premium for them to cut it. Basically material cost was double. If I went to my local metal supplier, I could of gotten the material for 60-65% less. Also, my second video on the rotisserie, I had to modify it for more clearance when moving the "T" piece that mounts to the car. Instead of some triangle gussets, I just welded more passes for strength. The gussets prevented me from moving the piece up more for balancing the 240.
I just bought the steel for this. I only had them make a couple cuts. It came to just over $600. More than what I was expecting but I knew steel had taken a big jump over the last couple years. Plus casters were another $40. Hydraulic rams were $120 and nuts and bolts another $30. Haven't purchased paint but I'm sure that'll be another $20, so all in with today's prices it's at around $800. Still cheaper than purchasing one and I'm sure can recoup most of the cost if I resell this. Anyway, great video Tony.
Thanks man! Some people definitely got their material for cheaper. I got ripped off from the shop who cuts the metal for me. Regardless, a rotisserie is a good investment and you can always resell later! Thanks for watching 😄
Unreal Build! So glad I found your channel, bought my first welder today and I can only hope one day I can weld half as good as you! Subbed.
Thank you! Feel free to ask any questions!
Great job. Excellent detail
Thanks brother!
Great but can buy one for that kind of money !
Great job! You made it look (somewhat) easy!👍
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am about to build myself a rotisserie and this video is inspiring. Great work! 🙌
Thank you for watching! Just a reminder that you can get material for way cheaper. I just paid premium for a shop to cut everything for me.
@@240Tony thanks!. I have a steel place not to far from me. I have a chop saw for steel, so that would save a few $$
@@robhersey1796 good luck and have fun!
Thanks for sharing and your frank honesty about your costs. UA-cam and forums are littered with, well, just lies about how cheap people do things for. Yes...one could buy a ready made rotisserie for less...and feel absolutely no pride in the act. The same could be said about buying a car that doesn't need restoring. I don't think they get it. Keep it up!
Haha thanks. A guy from the usa bought the same materials to build his and it only costed him about $300 usd. I guess metal is more expensive in Canada.
@@240Tony $1200.00 SEEMED KINDA ON THE HIGH SIDE TO ME, BUT MAYBE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE EXCHANGE RATE ?? I don't know? Maybe ?
@@sumbeech1484 8/10/2021 Recently got two quotes from the material list from a large and small steel suppliers both were over 2k
Fantastic video!
Thanks!
Nice work!
Thank you!
Nice job man love the video
Thank you!!
Great build, I’m looking at doing something similar for container frames that need to be flipped for feet etc...
Good luck !
Nice build bro!
Thank you!
another great video!
Thank you!
Great job that is very good work I’m just looking for the plan to build that same one for a 1980 trans Am
Nice! My dad used to have a Trans Am. Check my other video on how the mount was built, you'll see what modifications I did to the rotisserie. It will allow you to go up more with your rotisserie for balancing.
greit video broo ! i was waiting you to monte the car on it on the end of the video. greiting from morocco !!!!
Thank you!! 😁
Nice Job, and nice clean welds too! :>)
LoL . thank you. Would of been better if I had a 3 phase welder that burns hotter.
Good job.
Thank you
! 😁
Love this
Thanks!
nicely done. will make the job much easier for a noob like me.
We're all noobs at one point. I'm still learning.
Nice 👍🏼 I’ve downloaded Matt’s plans and have sourced all of the necessary tools to start the build of my rotisserie for my Datsun Z. I’m just a bit scared to get quotes for material theses days post COVID. Hope your 240SX is coming along or even better, done ✅ Cheers
I did pay premium price for my metal , metal super market charges alot. If you can buy whole length from your metal distributor and cut it yourself. It will be way cheaper. Some guys in the USA, material for this build was only $300.
240sx is still in the works !
@Alex Vigh yes sir! I totally agree. I didn't know any better at the time and took a expensive route, paid double the price for steel from a smaller metal distributor. I'll know for next time haha
Amazing! I downloaded the plans and whold like to build one of these for my restoration: 1978 fiat spider.
I’m just a DIY welder and I’ve been doing all of my own sheet metal work so far on the car....lots of practice and I think I’ve become pretty good at it lol.
I have a Hobart handler 140, 110v... I’m guessing it’ll be too weak for the square tube on this rotisserie?
I’m in Canada as well!
That will be a pretty exciting project. I would not weld the rotissery with a 110v. It wont run hot enough to have proper fusion. It may look like it sticks but with that might weight on your rotissery, there will be a weak point and eventually lead to it breaking. Your project and your safety is at risk. Try to get a welder that uses 240v.
Thanks sounds good, looks like I’ll have access to a 240v welder after all! Hobart Ironman..
@@frankd.3266 yeye. Make sure you run those welds hot enough but not excessively hot. Use with gas shielding (25 c02 + 75% argon)
Damn, great job illustrating everything. I was planning to go this route but since I'm only painting and welding one car. Looks like it's not worth it, any advice for welding lying down?
It honestly depends what your doing to it. It's worth it if your doing alot of work underneath the car. Could always sell the rotissery later on. But if your doing work above the car, you may not need a rotissery. Get a leather welding jacket if your doing alot of overhead welding.
Great video on the build. Here in Australia, I suspect that the material would cost even more than what you paid in Canada. They have it good in the U.S. where steel is a lot cheaper and fuel costs only a fraction of what we pay here in Australia.
Lol yeah. Someone bought the same material for this build in the usa and it only costed them about $300.
@@240Tony this is literally what I was going to ask. How much the material was. I'm building it this month.
@@al-zj2sy I spent about $1400 in canada but that's with a shop cutting everything to size. If I bought from the main metal supplier and cut it myself, would of been way cheaper like $500. Someone in the USA built this same one for like $350 USD.
Nice build! Any plans for the build? What did it cost and what technique were you using to make the welds? Thanks boss
You can find the plans if you google search for it. Red wing steel works . Costed me abit more than other people. Someone in the USA got material for about $300. This is mig welding with 240v.
thank you !!
Your welcome!
Your very thorough, which part of Canada, I'm in nortern Ontario
Alberta!
Very nice. I'm going to build one using those plans. Would you recommend adding an adjustment screw to find the balance point? Without it I would think its a question of trial and error. Great video, very clearly presented. Cheers John.
Adjustment screw along which area? Are you talking about balance point for when turning the car side ways?
@@240Tony Yes. I've seen them on other rotisserie to help find the balance point.
@@mercedesmaintenance.6339 ohhh true. It's up to you, if you feel like it will help you, you could add it. I haven't had any issues with mine. Only thing I had to figure out was the proper high to jack the whole car so it can rotate without hitting the ground. Once I knew, I just drew on the vertical steel with a paint marker.
Chingón mi compa
Bueno pero hay unas fallas las medidas todo proyecto de hoy en adelante mas cámaras todo tus trabajo con medidas excelente como profe graciasl
Thanks for this! Now let me go covert all of this to Metric so I can know what I'm looking at. hahaha
LoL. Thanks man. Enjoy
Many of us not of the Oriental Persuasion are challenged when building off the floor. Where's your workbench? Very nice welding from a craftsman and a good welding unit! Thank You, JD
Haha. Yeah. I don't mind working off on the ground. I don't have room for a welding bench. I do have a toolbox I do some work on. Thank you for the kind words 😄
@@240Tony You earned them! JD
donde se co siguen esos planos. para hacer un rotador de carrocerias.

Thank you!
When you down loaded your "free" plans and got the chrome extension required, , how long did it take for that extension to give away your personal information and search history?
I never did accept any chrome extension. If it's there now, probably a bullshit ad.
Young man, I worked construction as a pipe fitter and a tig, mig and stick welder for 60 years at a
nuclear plant in North Alabama. I would like to complement you on your mechanical and layout ability as
well as a jam up fine welder. I feel so confident in your welding that me and my wife would rest well
sleeping all night under a car on your rotisserie build. What do you do for a living.
Your friend,
Don Odom
Florence, Alabama
P.S. I am on Facebook. Friend me on there and we can share stories.
I meant to ask, what kind of car are you restoring?
Thank you for the kind words, I truly appreciate what you said. I'm a Red Seal Journeyman welder in Canada. Currently taking on as a apprentice for Heavy Equipment Technician. I'm restoring a 1993 Nissan 240sx which will get all new performance parts!
I couldn't find you on facebook, hard to find.
Welding OCD, I am on Facebook as Don Odom Florence, Alabama U.S.A.
@@maryodom5232 think I found yah.
What welder did you use how many amps?
It was a miller welder that uses 240v. You have to run hot, this particular welder didnt have a amperage, volt numbers. It just had numbers. A 110v welder wont be good for this job because it runs cold.
There is a Canadian girl.restoring a Suzuki Samurai , built a rotisserie from mostly scrap iron , I just got her plans .
Yes, Shaughn is cool. Unfortunately she paused the project after building the rotisserie.
That's proper!
Well done! Do you have an estimate of how long it took you and how much money you spent on the materials?
The metal was roughly $1400 canadian. 6x 500 lbs caster wheels are $150. Nuts and bolts are about $135. 2x 6 ton hydraulic ram Jack's was $165. Step drill bits was $30.
Our metal prices when up alot because the American tariffs.
It took me about 8 hours to drill the holes, about 2 days to fit up, weld and film.
Thank you!
Metal was all pre cut to size so it costed a bit more .
Thanks for the detailed reply. That's certainly a LOT of work and a fair amount of money!! The results are certainly worth the effort as it would be very difficult to buy one of the same quality at pretty much any reasonable price.
@@therestorationshop yea, if your in the states or any other country, I'm sure you could get the materials for way less!
Can you please share a link for CAD diagram of the rotisserie
Google "red wing steel works auto rotisserie plans" and it's the first link. There's no CAD file. Just blue prints.
Wow 😮, how do I get a blue print for the Rotisserie bro 🙌
Google : Red wings steel rotisserie . Should have a PDF file
Would you build this again after using?
If I have access to cheaper material then I would build it. It works great. Ended up selling my rotisserie to another fella for $1400. Some folks that built this, got material for around $300.
First let me say this is awesome, but at the price you paid for the materials alone you could have bought one ad had it delivered. Though there is something to be said for making your own tools. Freaking awesome keep it up.
Yeah. It was on the expensive side to build in Canada since metal cost more. One of the viewer from the usa bought all the same amount of material for only $302. I guess it depends where you live and what the price of material is. Thanks
Do you think this build is better than buying an east wood rotisserie? Also awesome work!
Honestly, if you can buy a pre-built one for a good price, that's a better route. But if you can get steel for cheap, then this route would be better. Some guys in usa told me they were able to build this with the cost of material around $300 usd.
Thanks
thanks

Thanks for posting this great project video!, I’m in the way to make my own rotisserie, and this is the best I see!, thank you again, and send you a like and subscribe to your Channel too!
Thank you for watching and the kind words. Hopefully it helps. Alot of people were able to get materials for way less than what I spent.
I want to download the pdf to see it. I entered academia and charges 8.25 per motnh something... That is the one ? It needs to be paid for Download or? Thanks

@@240Tony Merci beaucoup !! SUPPPPPPER 😉👍👍👍
Years ago, I wanted to do this too, but after pricing it out, wasn’t worth. I bought one instead
Haha yeah, it depends the price of steel I guess. Some guys were able to build one for around $300
I can appreciate the awesome craftsmanship of the build. My question is, most people who want to build a rotisserie, do it because of the cost. $1300 in material plus your time doesn't seem worth it, you can pick up a 3000lb rotisserie all day for $1100 shipped. I'm not talking shit, it just seems all that time spent building the rotisserie, could have been spent working on your ride.
Ya for sure. Unfortunately I paid premium price in Canada for the supplier to cut all my pieces to size. A few guys in the USA was able to get their materials for about $300.
Maybe it's possible to buy a rotisserie for less money, but then we wouldn't have this amazing video.
@@bilgetonyukuk5530 haha can definitely buy for less or same price, depending where you live. Thanks for watching! 😬
I’m sure this is way more in materials now
Wow I built mine from some habor frieght heavy duty engine stands all in i was about 250$ got the stands used and rest was metal and bolts
Congrats lol
nice job!! but i just found a rotisserie at Uncle Wieners for 1295 cad.. looks almost the same. altho chinese welding is usually poor so if you buy one look it over first
Nice, definitely can find em for reasonable prices. I spent the extra money for them to cut my steel and such.
Круто 🎉
I cringe any time I see someone weld without cleaning up the weld area first. A flap disc only takes a few seconds and it makes for an all around better weld. Otherwise good job. I went the lazy route and bought mine. I didn't have the time to spend fabricating one.
$1,200 for materials? Wow that's expensive. I bought all the metal from my local weld shop for $302.00 and that included having it all cut to size.
Yeah, the metal prices in canada went up after trump took over. Where are you from?
@@240Tony central Pennsylvania (USA)
@@240Tony great video. You inspired me to build mine
Good luck man ! Let me know if you got any questions!
John Blaner where did u buy the material can u send me information on where u got it name and phone number and location I'm in Ohio and its pretty expensive here worth the trip for that price
I thing you americans has everything OP.....but!! I like your 3 helmet setup :)))
Hahaha, thank you! I'm from Canada !
@@240Tony everything what is more west than England is America for us Europeans :D ;)
@@krtek673 Haha, I guess eh.
I would have bevelled all the edges to be welded but otherwise good job.
Beveled edge would definitely add more strength but a 6mm weld fillet at 1" long with this mig welding wire allows it to gave about 40000 psi tensile pull. More than enough 😊
Umm the Car rotisserie at princess auto costs as much as your material to build yours. And im in the same province as you.
Hey man. Unfortunately it did cost me a bit cause I paid premium price for metal super market to cut all to size. Some folks in Usa got the material for under $300 to build this. Depends on your source. If I got whole length steel from varsteel. It would be alot cheaper for sure. This is just a educational video :)
I thought this was a how to… not I’ve already got stuff cut to size. Wait… you’re selling something!!!’
Buddy. Watch the video lol. Not gonna record and show you a video how to cut steel.
1.2K!!
Meh hahaha
titan lift $700-$800 cant beat it
LoL . Cool bro
Bro you can literally buy one made from Jegs for $1100
Haha , usd? Some folks here built their rotisserie for about $300 since they got easy access to steel.
This so ironic because I’m building a 240 mine is white too 🤣
Haha, awesome!!
You can buy one for less than what you spent on materials
Haha cool! Some guys bought materials for $300 in other countries. Materials is expensive in Canada
Couldn’t you have just bought one for $1200 USD?
Could but wheres the fun in that? lol .
Someone from the states told me he built this same rotisserie and got his material for only $300.
This video will benefit anyone that can get their material for cheap to be honest.
Exactly ,fully agree .
Not US Dollar, but Canadian Dollar.
That much money on materials , you can buy one rotisserie already made .
Cool bro. Do keep in mind, some guys built the same rotisserie for roughly $300 in other countries. It was more expensive where I got my materials. Haha
You have mad skills though , keep up the good work.
@@EivinSukoi thank you for the kind words! Good luck on your project!
Yeah they cost 1200 already made dude
Really??? Where abouts?
