Egg table build

EggHead_Bubba

I'll try and update this thread as the project moves forward. My father-in-law who is retired and always looking for projects, agreed to build us a unique Egg table for our large BGE. My wife and I both really like the idea of a barn wood and tin design with a butcher block top. He sent me the first two build pics and the project has started. Can't wait to see the final product!

Like the look there. Looks like you're off to a great start. Can't wait to see the updates.

Love it. Super jealous. Looking to renovate the deck sooner or later and I think I've got the mrs molar convinced to do a outdoor kitchen with the egg built in. Till then I'll hall my Tupperware from the garage every cook.

Thanks and I know the feeling... I have all my different smoke woods in tupperware stored in my carport!

Got some new pictures today. The BGE will go in the corner on a pedestal of some sort. The left side will be smoking wood bins. On the right will be a drawer for tools, a shelf and lump storage. The left side will have a sliding half-door and the right side will have a door.

Looks fantastic.  Love the idea.  Can't wait to see the finished pics.

Side note:  How the hell are you going to move that from his work space to your home?

It's actually built in such a way that it comes apart into two pieces. So transportation will be done in a few trips with the pickup. The top will be attached on site. It's still going to be a beast to move. Good thing I've got some help to carry it!

Looks like it will be a great table. I like the reclaimed wood and tin.  Your father in law is a very smart man.... You will have to feed him for a long time!!!

Even though you are a Vol, I've gotta say that this is a nice looking table.  Gotta click the little star to bookmark this build!

Thanks! It's going well. Go Vols!

Here's a couple more pics. The bins are going in. Bins are built with pressure treated plywood and will be faced with barn wood.

I might need your FIL's number.  I am looking at doing a corner table very similar to this one.  My grandfather was a Kentucky Colonel due to his work in conservation.  The barn-wood is right up my alley!!!!!!

A few more pics before a week of hunting... The smoke wood bins are all set.

Keeps getting better and better.

This table is BOSS.

Love the bins. Looking great.

It's been a while since any work has been done due to hunting season. Here's a few new photos that show the cabinet and sliding doors ready for hardware. The sliding door will be functional using hand-made hardware like a barn door slider. It will only cover two rows of the bins but I think it will help make it look better.

WOW... gorgeous!!!

Wow just wow. 

SaltySam

This is great!  It looks like it's themed after an old, hole-in-the-wall BBQ joint.  The real deal.

Got the hardware for the drawer and door done today. I'm fabricating the sliding door hardware this weekend since I couldn't find anything that would work for the small door, everything I found was just too big. Thanks for the great comments!

EggHead_Bubba

Getting real close now! Just need the handle on the sliding door and stain for the top. Also, a small amount of flooring will be installed to the left and right of where the BGE will sit on a yet to be determined pedestal of some sort.

The top is just laying on the base and has not been glued & screwed. That will happen once everything has been transported. Base and top easily separates into two pieces.

Thanks! My wife did a great job with the design and my father-in-law is a true craftsman. What a great Christmas gift that will last a lifetime.

PirateBill

Man I am jealous that thing is perfect!

Truly inspiring me to re-do my dumpster fire of a "table"

Saw that your wife posted this on Facebook earlier.....  made my ride in to work bad because I AM JEALOUS of that table!!!!!!!
