Just started my egg table

I just started my egg table. As you can see I have almost completed the frame. 2x4 for the frame joined together with the awesome Kreg Jig system. I plan on adding a drawer and cabinet on the right side.

Welcome to the crazy bin! Here you will find many good people, lots of food porn, good humor and about as much good advice as you need and want.

Thanks for the welcome! Looking forward to getting my new Green Egg fired up! I have been visiting the last week and have already got some great ideas.

klosurdo

Almost done! Still have to install a drawer and cabinet door...and of course the egg.

Welcome. Good looking table.

GeorgeS

Nice looking table! Please make sure you use a table nest or some planter feet under your egg to create an air gap.

klosurdo

Thanks George. I have seen the damage they can create without a gap.

Looks good, what will you finish the wood with?

Nice table!

klosurdo

Installed a drawer and a cabinet door. Only thing left to do is seal it, cut the hole, and put the egg in. Hopefully by this weekend I'll be grilling!

Nice! I found it hard waiting to finish my table & get cooking after seeing so many great cook ideas here on this forum. Gotta get crackin and put an egg in it.

klosurdo

Finished! Only thing left to do is get a piece of granite for under the egg.

Your cart looks great. I'm about to start one myself. I see you used pocket hole screws for the rough construction. I would like to do the same but afraid the joints won't be strong enough (like with tenons, lag bolts, or lap joints). Did the frame rack at all with the Kreg screws? Thanks, Mike

klosurdo

@mbg the table is as strong as anything. Frame does not move. I was really surprised at the Kreg and how strong it holds. I used 2x4's for the frame and the blue coarse 2 1/2 Kreg screws to put it together. Two screws on each end of the 2x4's. I did purchase the additional 90 degree hole clamp and it was well worth it to hold the pieces tight while screwing. Good luck with your table, feel free to ask any other questions you might have.

@klosurdo thanks for the info.

BigWader

are you using the egg before you get the granite and possibly some air spacers/risers to protect that wood.  

klosurdo

@BigWader‌, no! I just picked up and installed Green Egg table stand yesterday and I also plan to buy a tile for underneath also.
