Default BBQ Table

Had me a BBQ table that was an old card table that was falling apart. Went out and that thing had about fallen thru so me and the Son went and got some wood we already had and made this BBQ Table that will also be a fillet table when we go and catch fish close by. Its nothing fancy but it will sure as heck work. Smoking an 11 pound boneless pork loin tomorrow so I needed the table lol.

Nuthin wrong with that, price right/functional. Might end up being one of them items that will outlive all of us, weather the elements, serve it purpose well, and one day you will look back at it and say man had I known this ol thang was gonna be around so long I woulda kissed it when I sunk the last screw into it!!!
You probly gonna have an issue with the tabletop buckling and warping but hey slap another piece of plywood over it, screw it down. If repeated doing so causes the table to git too high start trimming the legs down.

I put a brace down the middle so it shouldnt buckle much. The braces arent that level since we basically kind of eyeballed it but the table is. I needed me a table to put stuff on while BBQing so me and my Son got after it lol

Looks like it will work just fine.

I like keeping scrap lumber and other extra stuff around. You never know when I want to build something. '

My wife says that I am a pack rat. W e l l, She's wright. again. But I am not going to change.

As a trim Carpenter, I wish more customers had the attitude of "that will work just fine". I could sure make a good living. On another note, the BBQ table will function perfect. You could always toss some fiberglass cloth over it and douche it in resin. Dang thing might outlast your kids.
