Table Construction Complete

Braddog · February 2009

Thanks to the many resources in the BGE community, I just completed the construction of my very own table. So I thought I'd share the results.

Here's a link to the whole album if you're interested.

Cheers,

Very nice. What is the wood and the finish?

BTW - you need a "p" in you link - could get there.

Nice job Braddog, good play by play too.

Looks great! But, I don't see a bottle opener!

Nice design and work...what did you use for the 1x6 grade, etc...looks like nice finish, a urethane?...is it heavy? How about cedar...thoughts?

Really nice job

Braddog · February 2009

We had a theme ("we" being the couple of buddies that helped me). This was constructed almost completely out of things we had lying around.

I used 2x4's left over from framing my basement, 1x4's that I reclaimed from a shipping crate, casters from a project that was never attempted, etc.

So the wood is almost all scrap pine. We did put 6 coats of urethane on it, although I store the egg (& table) in the garage when I'm not cooking so I wasn't too worried about making it weatherproof.

The only things we purchased for the project was the light and 1x4's for the top shelf.

Cheers,
Braddog

Braddog,
Nice looking table. I may want to make a new table myself one of these days. Was wondering the purpose of the beefed up bottoms on the legs. No carpenter here.

Cpt'n Cook · February 2009

Nice and clean, good job. It's specially nice using up stuff that you have laying around.

Marc from IL · February 2009

Way to go!!

YetiBob · February 2009

WOW!

Makes me want to rebuild my rather ageing table...

GREAT job!

duchunter · February 2009

Looks Great!!!

Braddog · February 2009

That was really just for the purpose of having a broad enough base to mount the casters. Like I said, we were trying to use things we already had.

diamondnikon · February 2009

Great Job! The Light and cutting board insert are a great addition!

bobbyb · February 2009

Makes sense. Hadn't thought of that.
Thanks.

Great looking table.

Gandolf · February 2009

Really nice job! What happened to the flushmounted paver for the egg to sit on? I thought that was a neat idea.

Braddog · February 2009

Gandolf

Me too. When we installed the egg, I discovered that the hinge rotates downward when the lid is open. We hadn't counted on that. So we had to elevate the egg somehow. We accomplished that by putting "slats" under the stone. That was the least intrusive solution we could come up with.

I hated to do it but didn't really have much choice.
