For my birthday a few months ago Catherine bought me a big green egg. I am sure that there were no ulterior motives, but I do seem to be cooking more these days. But that is just fine with me, I love it! Ever since getting one however, I have really wanted to build a table for it similar to the one that you can buy in the store for the BGE, however I was not willing to depart with $600 for a simple table. Thus the Fall BGE project began. After a little research online I found this stud who had not only built his own but taken the time to put together some very detailed construction plans. I think I will leave off all the bottle openers however. With plans in hand I went to see my good friend Posey at Old City Millwork who is actually talented at these things. David, Posey, and I had a wonderful afternoon cutting, planing, and not following the instructions, which we found out was important toward the end of the day. Thus, after a couple of more hours next Saturday we will be done. My huge thanks to Posey for the use of his talent and great tools. I was most fascinated by the chop saw that you punched in the dimensions of the piece you were cutting and the fence automatically moved to the correct position; within 1000th of an inch. Totally cool! I can’t wait to post the finished pics. But here are the ones from construction.

Thanks again Posey!
