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.
