Eggheaders,
Thanks for all the advice on a previous post. This was my first 'major' woodworking project. This forum has a wealth of information.

Details for the readers / future table builders:
- Created plan in SketchUp from a mix of others. Started with NakedWhiz's plan and modified.
- Louisiana Cypress Wood - rough cut
- Granite top 2cm. Glued with Loctite Ultimate Construction Adhesive
- Finish: Exterior 450 Satin (I spent a lot of time researching what to do here. There are several opinions. I almost went with Sikkens or untinted exterior paint, but decided to go with Exterior 450. My local Woodcraft recommended it. I am pleased with the performance so far.)
- No wood stain
- Enclosed the sides and back by shiplapping boards (with a router) together and kreg jig the top and bottom to frame
- All frame joints are kreg "jigged"
- European hinges for doors
- BGE Table Nest
- Porcelain Tile for Table Nest
- Casters from castercity.com - these people are very helpful (4" Black Polyolefin Ball Bearing Wheel with hole for your own lag bolt - I used a 3 1/2" lag bolt. May be overkill, but I did not want the caster to break the table leg.)
- Rev-A-Shelf 9" shelving system for storage
- Ordered a customer vinyl cover from "Covers by Mel" (http://www.vinylcoveringsbymel.com/index.html). Other options were BGE brand cover, Duck covers, or a sunbrella cover.
