San Diego Egg Table

JohnnyEnglish

Finally got around to building a proper home for my egg. Used redwood and plans on scottmoore.net. Finished with four coats of marine polyurethane. My table nest should be in this weekend so I'll be replacing the pavers with a piece of granite. Hooks on the end are stainless mini boat cleats. Still trying to pick out a good towel rack for the front. Suggestions?

The self righteous ale is a winner.  The hops of an IPA with the body of a porter.  It's one of the better new beers I've had in the past year, and I've had a lot of beer  

Sorry no rec on the towel rack, but you built a beautiful table to go with your beautiful view.

Hard to beat San Diego on view, weather and beer...

The first thing that I thought was how did someone make a table that chokes, but then I realized it wasn't related to the football team in San Diego.

Haha.

In all seriousness good looking table.

I don't know what's nicer, the table or the view!!!!

Very nice table!  Looks like you did not have to go far to purchase the marine polyurethane. Rosecrans to Shelter Island Dr...then East three blocks to San Diego Marine Exchange. You have a nice view of Shelter Island, NAS North Island and downtown San Diego. I live on the opposite side (Sunset Cliffs) of the hill.

Great looking table and great view, is that looking out on Mission Bay? I lived in PB for 5 years and came to Texas, now the wife and I are discussing moving out there.

Went to SD for the first time earlier this year.  Great trip, great weather, great beer, and oh yeah nice table.

I lived in Kingsville, TX for a short time while I was in the Navy. A native San Diegian I much prefer the Pacific Ocean view to the Gulf view. Come on back...pretty soon we will have enough folks to start buying lump by the pallet.

That's the old mine sweeper base that used to be down there isn't it? I was stationed in San Diego and then went to SDSU for a semester. Came to Texas because I had so much fun in San Diego.

NAAF, NAAS, NALF, NAF, Kingsville, TX, was a Naval Air Station. I was TAD there out of San Diego boot camp waiting for schools in Norman, Oklahoma and Pensacola, Florida. Probably before "you were a twinkle in your father's eye."

It's a view looking down at La Playa and San Diego Yacht Club. On the far side is NAS North Island Coronado.

Switched out the pavers for a table nest and a 20x20 piece of tile.

First cook on the new egg table underway!

JeffCowley

Great looking table!  Did you make the cutting board as well?

JohnnyEnglish

I did. It's hard maple and walnut. Thanks for the compliment.

JohnnyEnglish

Received my Crowley Canyon BGE Table Cover today. Fits and looks great.

GoVols

Nice table , I will take a cold one also.

SkinnyV

I have a similar board my in law made. U guys were on same page
Awesome table BTW.

JohnnyEnglish

Finally settled on a towel rack for my table. Ended up going with a stainless steel ADA shower grab bar.

Your table looks great..  Curious,  where did you find the 20x20 tile? type of material?  I like the thickness of tile that you have..  I have been looking for one at Home Depot and Lowe's..  

YEMTrey

Dat view!!!!

I was in San Diego for the first time this past spring.  It's on the short list of places to move to shortly. I would love to have that patio and view.  Add a kegerator with fresh Ballast Point Sculpin and call it heaven!

JohnnyEnglish

I found the tile at Home Depot. I looked around for a while. Thanks for the compliment. I have officially kicked off Super Bowl weekend. T minus 23 hours until I pull this bad boy off the egg.

JohnnyEnglish

Oh yeah - the tile is ceramic

Nice looking shoulder. And what a beautiful day to be outside cooking. Nice cloud formations to the North of us. Enjoy!

JohnnyEnglish

9 hours in 14 to go...

dweebs0r

The view from your deck is spectacular.  I would sit outside 18 hours a day.

JohnnyEnglish

Pulling the shoulder off in about an hour to start resting. In the meantime, I've assembled a San Diego Allstar Team...

JohnnyEnglish

Entering final prep. Shoulder is off the grill and resting. Beer is chilling. Cardiff Crack tri-tip and brats are waiting for their turn.

JohnnyEnglish

Finally got around to building a good place to sit and drink beer while I let the egg do the rest.
