Quite a while ago I started my first egg table build based on this thread https://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1157985/cedar-table#latest. I have used primarily pocket holes to put this thing together, with the exception of the attaching the 2x4 frame to the 4x4's, which I used some large screw-in bolts (no washer/nuts). I am hoping that this setup will be strong enough. I finally have gotten around to finishing it and am about to put my Large BGE in it. I have a couple questions that I'd like to get some info about from those of you that are experienced with this.
For the bottom, I bought these ceramic feet for it to sit on. Will these be good to sit the egg on or do I also need some kind of stone? Of course I want the right support but I am also concerned about the heat. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CP1MP9J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Another thing I am starting to think about is having some kind of area to sit down hot things and/or to be able to cut things on. The hot items part is the main priority, but a cutting area would be a nice add-on. So what kind of suggestions would you have about that? I have seen a few examples of things from sitting some kind of stone/board on top of the table to ones that people cut an insert into the table top. I'd rather not cut into the table, at least not right now, because I am just now finishing the thing and want to get it out of my garage and onto my patio.
I just ordered a cover for the whole table and am hoping that it will fit the whole thing. I did poly the whole cedar table and it will stay outside full-time once I put it out, but I want to keep it covered to that it stays in nice shape.
Thanks.
