Small EGG help!

RiverDoc

I'm sure this has been addressed at some point so sorry for the repeat but I'm at a loss. I'm currently building my table for my Large and Small Eggs. I assumed that there was a small table nest, and we all know what ASSUME spells. I have seen some smalls with the "green feet" but when I asked my dealer he said they don't make them anymore. My large will set on a table nest that sets on firebricks. So what are some ideas/methods that have worked with your Eggs? Thanks in advance.

+1 what @grege345 says. But if you want some feet that are fancier or whimsical then look for "planter feet" and they are all over the internet. Even my local landscaper was selling some last year that looked like human feet with 5 toes on the outside!

RiverDoc

Thanks @grege345 do you have 4 feet under the egg?

grege345

They come in packs of 3. so i used three. I actually use them under my large too.

Thanks @RRP I just now saw your post I picked up some from lowes today. They will soon be replaced with some type of "foot" those are great thanks again

I think you meant to thank @grege345 for the Lowes hint. BTW if you did buy two packages I hope you can take back one as you only want to use 3 and not 4. I forget the reason as high school math was some 55 years ago for me, but I know 4 feet means it will rock, but 3 feet means it will stay put! Speaking of that placement then for me I place my first foot at the rear or 12:00 when looking down and my second foot at 4:00 and third at 8:00. That way when openned you're egg won't tip over backwards from the shifted weight of the openned dome.

i think he's using the lowes feet as temporary and going with custom feet down the road

RiverDoc

Ok the 3 feet make sense thanks.  The lowes feet will work I eventually want to find some "different" or unusual looking feet. I haven't opened my small I've been waiting until I had time to work on the table but tomorrow it gets opened I want to measure the footprint so I might as well put it together. I appreciate all the help @RRP and @grege345

About 3 years ago, I conceptualized this and had a blacksmith fabricate it for me.
