I milled all the lumber here from logs in the bush.   Hope it stands up to the weather.   I need to find a nice cover for it now.  I was going to make it big enough for the LGE but it looked like it would be too big and heavy so I just went with a single for now.

    Beautiful table, beautiful setting. We (in Canada) have a Montana Grill cover on a large table for an Egg and love it.

    (Edit: Had it eight years. Just now starting to degrade.)

    Incredible talent on display.  Beautiful table.  
    On a side note, as I recall  that rig will be fending for itself come winter when you roll down to FL and post those great photos of exotics.  Love your photos!

    You have a point.  I do have a Joe Jr and a Joe Classic in FL but I don’t have to tools to build a table down there.  This ones a little big for a carry on.

    It’s ash from the bush on our property.  I have a lot of it,  was killed by the emerald ash borer.  We have a small bandsaw mill and cut the trees up here.  It has some character from being damaged and laying on the ground for a while.

    It looks great, I have a tree that I would
    like to mill I just need to make time. The ash borer came through here about 5 years ago, I have a 3 acre wooded lot and it killed 72 ash trees.

    Nice job. Was that design made to take a large grill since it is sitting up higher?
    I put a 2nd drawer under the smaller grills to get it up higher

    I laid it out that way to accommodate the jr stand but changed my mind on using the stand after my brother bought the feet for my birthday..

    will you end up putting some platform under Jr to keep him at correct height?

    It’s at the correct height with the blocks in there but I am making a shelf to replace the blocks,  that will give me another place to store the tools.  I would put in a drawer but it would not be the same size as the drawer on the right and would look strange.

    Thanks for all the comments.  I book matched the panels on the back and the ends,  the cutting board in the top drawer gives me an extra work surface and it slides back so I have access to the drawer as well.   I also repaired a split with epoxy and a walnut bow tie.  I made the handles,  after doing all the work I couldn’t just screw on store bought handles.

    I actually thought of that,  I have lots of material,  just don’t know that I really need it with the top and the pull out drawer.   
    I have no metal work skills,  too bad your not my neighbour
