Father and Son tables

BBQTony · May 2011

Finished up two tables recently for my son and myself. My wife and son gave my large Egg for Christmas and after my son tasted some of the food coming off the egg he decided he had to have one too. So now we are a two Egg family and if I build something for mine I also have to make one for him too.

So here are the tables. They are made from cypress finished with 4 coats of Helmsman Spar Urethane. The working surface is solid granite with wood edging. Hanging hooks on the left and a handle/towel holder on the right. The drawer holds most of my eggsessories so far.

The wooden part of the top and the shelf are built solid with no gaps. I did this to keep water and dirt out of the drawer. I attached the top and shelf so they could move a little without splitting as the humidity and temperature changes.

This one is my son's table.

The remaining pics are my table (identical to my son's)

Nice looking tables. You might want to put your BGE feet under the BGES.

Unfortunately, I don't have the feet or the ceramic top. When I received it, it was already assembled. When my son bought it last year, the dealer didn't give him the feet or top. By the time I found out I was supposed to have them, 6 months had passed since his purchase.

Did you use a fine grit sandpaper on your table in between coats?

Also, did you finish your tables after they were assembled, or before while it was in separate pieces?

Thanks.

Cheers,
JG

I sanded with 220 grit sandpaper between coats. I finished the table in pieces and assembled afterwards.
