Got the major work done today. I’m using Pressure treated wood because outdoors and this is florida (will not be cutting food directly on the table either). I want this thing to last.
4x4 support legs. There will be 6 in the finished project, four are visible now. I dado cut them so the 2x6 beams aren’t supported by screws only. The screws simply hold the board in the notch while the glue cures. The front to back suppers are 1x6, again notched into the 4x4. Making all those cuts without a dado blade and table saw slowed progress.
The idea is to lay 2x4 across the 2x6 beams to plank it in, then use thin paved blocks on top of the wood platform, then use the grill feet and finally lift The Beast into place. The whole table will be 5 feet long and 29 inches wide. There will be a lower shelf next to the grill, made from 1x4 because it won’t carry much weight. I may or may not put another shelf under the grill. Probably won’t.
But yea. 2x6 notched in 4x4 posts - this table can support a lot more than The Beast weighs. Even full of food.
