What a great project! Lots of useful technique incorporated here and sweet extras that make this stand out. The gravy was replacing the handle and having your logo CNC’d on there. The tips, tricks and traps make it even better. You have the heart of a teacher! Keep building!
Been following you for years now. Unfollowed a few years ago cause I thought back then it was a lot about "selling stuff" but well, we all have to make a living. I started following your videos again months ago and all I can say is: there are a lot of people doing woodworking on youtube you you are certainly the best one. The attention to details, the ideas, originality... And believe me, I've been watching a lot of people/things.
What an absolutely beautiful build !! Love that you took the time to add some elegance to the cross supports and the curved ends of the table top. Life is better with curves !! Well thought out and a perfect balance of art and utility.
Great Video Marc..I’ve had a Big Green Egg for many years and have wanted to build a table for it... now I can. I really enjoy the channel and the guild. I’ve only been woodworking for a couple of years and I have learned so much from your teaching. Thank you so much for all you do for the woodworking community. Have a GREAT Weekend... Greg
Looks amazing! I have loved my big green egg for years. I built a table out of redwood and found a scrap cut of raw edge green granite to use for the top. I’ve loved it. Every BGE owner should build a table for it to nest in.
I have a Large Egg and my wife was generous enough to buy the Big Green Egg table with it. It's a very nice table also! Get their cover and the finish will last longer. Thanks for the upload :)
Plans purchased! I’m planing on getting a portable BBQ for our tiny yard and something like this would work great as a table for it, I will resize and NOT cut the hole ;). Thanks Marc!
Hello, great video with lot of tips to learn wood working, I build last year my big green egg furniture and with the off cut, I build a tray, adding a cold bonded border to try the technic. It do a perfect match when cooking.
Hi Marc. I was inspired by this video to make a table for a friend for his mini kamado grill. Similar design but with a mid shelf. Unfortunately I can’t seem to be able to upload a photo. But thanks for all your help. Keep up the great work
Amazing! You are, without blowing smoke up your tail side, a great role model that I and I’m sure many look up to with all your knowledge in this business!!! Thanks for taking the time to make the videos! PS - show this table in use, what’s for dinner??
Love it. Glad you swapped out that other smoker for the real Big Green Egg. I bought the large BGE for myself years ago and than bought my brother the Extra Large. He is a crazy BBQ man. I need the table :) Maybe he should make one for me since, you know, I bought him the Extra Large BGE!
Holy shnikes, check out those guns at 16:00-end! Hehe lookin good Marc. You’re gonna make so many great memories for your family with this grill and table. Great video and explanations as always.
That looks great! I'm pretty sure the offcuts want to be a side table - perfect to set down the finished product and a grown-up beverage when the grilling is done!
Another idea for the left over circle ... a base for the Italian marble statue of your “sweet Italian man flesh” you will sculpt and put in your front yard. After appropriate placement of your logo of course.
Building a similar table for my BGE but using white oak that has been air drying from a tree I had cut down. Do you have a recommendation for finish? Should I leave it bare or use a similar process that you did? I'm not sure about the amber color of the spar varnishes. Thanks!
Which do you prefer Marc, Veritas block plane or Lie Nielsen block plane? I have the LN Rabbeting Block plane, but I'm looking into getting a regular adjustable mouth one and I can't decide which.
Beautiful project, Marc. Sapele is not readily available in the South but Cypress is plentiful. I know it will stand up to the weather but will it stand up to the heat? Thanks ahead of time. :)
I have a folding metal table that I bet is darn close to the diameter of that circular cutoff. I mainly use it as supplemental prep space by my grill! Folds up like a TV tray. That could be a cool use for that wood.
I made a table like this out of dimensional lumber and decking and used the same feet/nest thing to set egg on. Mine has been cooking screaming hot tons of times over the years and haven’t had any trouble with the bottom getting too hot. I’m curious now and want to see how hot it actually gets. My guess would be not very as the bottom is where cold air gets pulled in.
I just wanted to say your awesome. I love all of your videos they are very clear and informative and easy to follow. You are a definite positive influence in my shop and I thank you. And p.s I challenge u to Mario cart on n64 anytime anyplace!
Cut the drop in half and have two extensions that hinge up on the sides to extend the working area whilst keeping the original stored profile for the cover.
What a beautiful and sturdy table. If only I was this skilled lol. I own a BGE XL as well. I originally bought it with the table as a bundle. The BGE brand table. Worst mistake ever. Didn’t last at all. Within 3 months the bolts holding it tight loosened up and the table had so much when it was moved. Not to mention the wheels were way to small and not nimble at all. Thankfully my local Ace Hardware was able to warranty it out and I got a integgrated nest with side tables.
You were asking what to do with the cut out ... I would use them as a "scrap" piece of wood where I can put a hot Conveggtor, or PS Woo ring, the BGE rig, or a hot grill grate. I would have to figure out how to keep them spaced. Maybe fill in with a non-flammable filler. If you figure that out, let me know.
Hey Mark. Love your stuff. I wish to build an enclosure for my Weber two burner gas grill into a "station" to be mounted inside a deck railing bay. I want to use stainless roll flashing to clad over a 2x10 cut to 2x9 ish using 12" roll flashing. These will essentially be wings off the grill for plates etc. Will flashing told up? Thought I'd epoxy or 3M spray adhesive on the 9" side, then bend over the edges. Thoughts? Mental healthcare recommendations?
Hey Marc, I heard you mention that you would sometimes pre-finish some parts before assembly. If you were to do that while using domino joinery and using osmo or rubio monocoat do you just tape off the sections around the mortise being glued or how would you do that. Thanks!
Best woodperson on RU-vid,, thanks. If you could only buy one Domino as a home enthusiast making barstool to bed sized projects, what would you recommend?
Excellent work! You should try the argentine meat , "asado", with a rich malbec mendocino. Thanks for your beautiful tutorial. Hug from Córdoba, Argentina!
I don’t know if you’ve answered this before, but what do you think about the pantorouter machine? It seems like it would’ve been very useful in this project.
I would use the off cuts to make a matching circular table for the kids to snack off or to put a couple of potted herbs on for cooking (basil, rosemary, and oregano).
Just FYI, I've been running my egg for about 15 years now on a table I built myself out of pressure treated lumber, and I run it between 350 and 600 degrees fairly regularly. I've never had a problem with the heat bleeding through to the table. On the other hand, my dad once had a coal pop out of the vent on the bottom, which caught his table on fire, which caught his deck on fire, and had I not happened to go outside and find it burning, was about 3 minutes from catching his house on fire. So do be cognizant of that if you build a wooden table and put it on your deck.
That’s a great build. I’ve been wanting to do something similar for my Kamado Joe. You mentioned only smoking with the Green Egg. That’s too bad because pizzas on these things come out fantastic!!! If you try it, make sure you get high-heat dough. Otherwise, doesn’t workout well.
