Large Table Refinishing Complete

I swear this is my last construction related project I will post (for a few years anyway). When I put the new mini table next to the old large, it was not gonna work, see first photo (old table looked like crap, new table looked too new). So I disassembled the large (taking the opportunity to add the new Nomex gasket), blasted the crud off, sanded it lightly to get what was left of the old urethane off, scrubbed it with wood conditioner, then applied Behr Waterproofing Wood Finish. I used the kind that was tinted cedar, both tables are all cedar, but after crud blasting, sanding and conditioning, the old table was almost white. In the end, it's hard to tell the old table is almost five years old. I also took the opportunity to upgrade the paver sitation. I was using 3 long pavers which covered about a 16 x 18 inch area leaving some wood exposed. I upgraded to 4 one square foot pavers giving me a perfect 24x24 coverage, it is much more stable now as well:

compared to what I do day by day, that sounds like a great time, wish I could - & if I could, I must warn you, I almost always cut, puncture, stab, burn and/or otherwise injure myself (or someone closeby) during every major project, it's a requirement :laugh:happy in the hut

that's funny, similarly, when I was wheeling out both tables today for re-introduction into the great outdoors, I was so excited, I picked up a round tin beer bucket to move out of the way & proceeded to drop it corner first directly onto my right big toe - you know that feeling you get when your brain comprehends the gravity of stupidness that will soon result in exquisite pain? That was me :Shappy in the hut

same toe :laugh:

Okay, no one else has said it but, Are you embarassed by your large? Do you have to hide it with a trash can to take it outside? :P

Maybe, but with each step I take in that direction, I run the risk of wifely problems, between the egg, the garage, the garden, the canning, the pictures of everthing, the pickup truck, the tractor, the shed, the hammock, the firepit, the almost constant f'n around with everything outside I can get my hands on, I think the irritation factor is approaching critical masshappy in the hut

She needs to understand that you are playing at home, not with the guys at a bar or strip joint. This keeps your mind sharp and your creativity level up. Just tell her a creative mind is a kindy mind. :evil:SEE YOU IN FLORIDA, March 14th and 15th 2014 http://www.sunshinestateeggfest.com You must master temp, smoke, and time to achive moisture, taste, and texture!
