New XL Egg and Building my own table

So I have been browsing for a while trying to decide if I was finally going to go about getting myself an egg. I have only been cooking on a gasser all my life so this will be a whole new world for me. I mainly bought it for doing low and slow smoking and also making pizzas eventually. From reading on here I am sure I will expand to doing a lot more over time.

What pushed me over the edge was getting what seemed like a good deal on an XL. Had a promotional coupon to a local store that they allowed to be used on an Egg and then also ran a 'tax free' sale where they just deducted the tax amount from your purchase price. So my XL Egg out the door was $990. Then all my accessories were tax free as well. So far just picked up the table best, conveggtor, flameboss300, ash tool, ash pan, and the XL table cover as I am building my own table to the BGE dimension size.

I didn't want to buy the stand or buy a table through BGE. I knew I wanted to save a bit of money and build my own. I always end up over doing these projects but hey that is half the fun of doing them.

I spent probably a good two weeks searching the internet and here for table builds that I liked and wanted to follow. I ended up finding about four total that I took some of each into my build. (GT_Egg, Toxarch, jimithing, marainwa) I then drew up some of my own plans and got started. Please ignore some of the dimensioning that is off when I snapped these pics of the plans as I was still working them out.
