 TABLE FOR THE BIG GREEN EGG

All right It's been a while and time to update here.

Had a customer stop by the shop and told me he had bought a komoto cooker
 also known as the Big Green Egg, some time back But didn't want the table they offered with it an option, because of price. So after looking and studding the cooker a bit
 It was agreed I would build the table for him, but he would have to go shopping 
for the pressure treat wood and wheels etc.
I also decided I didn't need the lid to it as that would be just something else to handle at the shop.
 I gave him the list and soon the materials arrived and I got started.
As I built the table I decided to make sure all the fasteners {screws}
were on the bottom side

away from the weather as much as possible { no screws on top}.
This would help the wood as much as possible weather Florida's ever changing 
environment.
Well when it came time to install the wheels, I discovered they where gigantic.
 I had to cut and install a type of skirt around the base of the 3" legs to 
create the necessary  surface area for the castor plate to mount to
but it looked fine and will do the job. this is the only area where 
the fasteners are exposed to the weather.
