Quick and dirty BBQ table - Woodworking Talk

**Daren** · 06-26-2008, 06:28 PM

So I had some odd pieces of wood (redbud tree top and a hard maple slab) kinda laying around in my way. I decided to make a 20 minute table to use grilling in the yard. I am going to let it weather up some then give it a couple coats of marine varnish. The slab is 28" wide and 7' long and 2 1/2" thick...and has 2 nails in it I hit with the sawmill for decoration

. Stupid yard trees

I cheated niki,

. (used a tractor) I think the top weighs about 200 lbs and the base probably close to that too...it won't blow over in the wind I bet.

That would have to be some kind of wind....

It takes a logger to have the amagination to see a table in 2 peices of wood lying around. Just nice job. Right now I could use a yard table the the wind wont blow away.

How you hanging in there ? Guess you still have power since you are on the computer. Looks like plenty of rain from what I have seen

Oh I am fine cause I am hiding it Huffman Tx.

One of my neighbers stayed home and he said the storm wasnt anything more than any other thunder storm we get in our area. And we still have all utilitys up and running. I think I will head back home by wednesday. Daren Thanks for asking

Yeah Thanks for asking Daren. Some of the rest of us had been wondering how Handyman was doing to. Maybe you won't have any new trees down to have to deal with in the near future.
