Can't find one i like, so build it

[dwhee87]

Been looking for a table to mount my Akorn in. Lots for BGE and other ceramics, but not for the workhorse...the Akorn. We'll see how it turns out. Best of all, most of the lumber was left over from my deck project.


Top piece.

Bottom piece.

I think you'll need more 'joists' to frame in closer around the hole you're gonna cut into the top?

Nice! Are you going to suspend it somehow so you can dump ashes?

Well @dwhee87, it's not a chair, but I guess it's ok.

 

[dwhee87]

I'm leaving the brackets on where the side trays attach. Those will rest on the table top to suspend it.

Space between the two 'joists is 25 inches. Hole I'm about to cut is 22.5.


Here goes nothin.

Looks a bit too short for a comfortable working height.

Gonna be nice to have a more work surface My akorn finally rusted out on the bottom so had a free BGE at the shop we won at a trade show. Just got it set up.

Nice. Let me know if you find another free one laying around at the shop!

Hole cut, legs attached.

 

[dwhee87]

@JustUs4All, on your recommendation, I lengthened the legs.

 

[dwhee87]

Wheels attached. A little adjusting on how it sits in the hole (dropped ears into cutouts supported by an extra 2x4), and she fits like a dream.

I'll attach the bottom shelf once I get it up o to the deck. Less weight to carry, that way.

Dave you handy as a shirt pocket.

I'll attach the bottom shelf one I get it up o to the deck. Less weight to carry, that way.

Looking good. Going to stain or paint it or leave it natural?

The legs are a nice touch. I think you will enjoy them.

My next piece of unsolicited advice is that you take all furniture building suggestions from anyone named Rooster with half a shaker of salt. LOL

That is wise advice.

Carried to deck, attached shelf, loaded the Akorn and accessories up, and it's ready to smoke!
