Inspired by this forum.....I built a nest for my eggs.

Tuffer

I cannot claim the credit for this work, I just designed it and then got some people with some skill to make all the cuts.  Final assembly will be next week. 1 x Mini Max and 1 x Large, sink for chilling Beer and a pull out bin and utility drawers.

Very nice and solidly constructed.  Looking forward to the finished product.

Fine workmanship and design.  I too look forward to the finished product.

You morticed and tenoned all of that?  Dang that's awesome!

Nicework, not your average weekend carpenter work!

very cool...looks like it will be an amazing setup!

SkinnyV

Wow sir...just wow!

Tuffer

I need to change the Castors, one failed when we moved it so going to use something a bit heavier duty.

Impressive. I like the sink idea.

Tuffer

Going to fill the sink with Beer and Ice :-) Insulate it underneath with Celotex foam.

What kind of wood is that?

EGGjlmh

Wow, that is really nice! I think you will really like the "L" shaped design.  That is the way I built mine, but yours is around 1000 times nicer!

Jstroke

I agree ^^^^^^. I love my L shape but mine is way more "temporary"

Egg install on Saturday, any suggestions on the best way to lift a BGE?

Griffin

Wow! Most impressive. Get strong, muscular men is my suggestion. Offer free food and beer. Take the guts out and maybe the lid off before you install.

Looks nice! Will the eggs just sit on top of the table or are there still holes to be made?

Chubbs

@jeremiah had you covered on how to lift egg in and out. 

johnkitchens

Very nice. Keep posting pics!

Look on Amazon for a pot lifter (for potted plants). Two people can easily and safely move an egg into place. 

Tuffer

Cutting holes for the Eggs this weekend as well as adding various trim pieces.  Just built a cradle out of scraps which I hope will help lift the Large one into position.

Tuffer

Pot Lifter, brilliant idea, just ordered.

You can take all of the internals out of the large and two people can easily move it. Some guys have done it solo, but I am not that brave.

Me... you need long arms though!

johnkitchens

I actually had help when I moved mine. The hard part is when you need your hands on the top AND the bottom at the same time. It can be tricky, and I told my helpers we were not messing up my eggs! 

Tuffer

Finished

@Tuffer that looks great! I really like the top position where you can be behind the table impressing your guests with your cooking skills and they can grab their own cold drinks without getting in your way.

One observation... you should consider some feet for your eggs to provide an air gap between the egg bottom and stone. Lots of threads on here about how much heat is generated in the bottom of the egg.

Tuffer

Thanks, I have feet on the Mini, also have a set for the Large but did not fit them, will do that this week.

I'm a bit confused - do you swing/pivot that out whenever you use it? How else do you get into the drawers behind/beside the sink?

Toxarch

Looks good. I that that you can use it both ways. I prefer it in the second picture but it might be nice to have it like the first picture for a party. You grill behind there and keep everyone out of your kitchen. Couple of bar stools on the outside might be nice.

Thats great piece of work!!!!!!
