Little Saturday afternoon project

[Karl]

I got home from work at lunchtime yesterday to find that SWIMBO had taken the kids out for the day.

Into the shop to make a little project I have been meaning to sort for ages. Ever since buying our BBQ I have been cursing the lack of a working area. So, in anticipation of the summer heatwave which has been predicted, I have had an 8" wide plank of 2" thick Iroko set to one side to make a little table.

And here it is

And in situ

Took about 5 hours to build - most of which was in stock preparation. Needs another coat of oil as well.

Next job - get the jet wash out to clean the BBQ

Cheers

Karl, very nice job, I like the wood, any issues regarding the dust.

What a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon! Looks very good, which oil-finish did you use?

Karl - nice...wouldn't bother with the oil, just let it weather naturally - Rob

That looks great Karl. I think I had better watch out or my reputation will be at stake for speed building! :shock: :lol:

 

[Mattty]

Nice Job Karl. Very swift too!

How big is that fire!!!

Very nice quick project there Karl. Did you do it all on the Triton? :wink: :lol:

You should have said...

You could have borrowed the Domino and done it in 4!

:lol:

Very nice, mate.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Pete - No adverse reaction to the Iroko dust. Yet. Machining was via Bandsaw, Table saw, Thicknesser, hand planing and hand sanding. So varying degrees of dust collection. Fingers crossed - i've heard that reactions can come on days later.

Olly - the finish is Tung oil.

Mailee - :lol: I think I need to get a few more quick fire projects under my belt b4 I challenge you for your title.....

Matty - The BBQ is excellent. Just wish that i'd built my own instead of paying for a pre-fab one.

Tom - The Triton is long gone. It would have taken me 5 hours just to get the crosscut fence set square..... :lol:

Brad - i'll remember the offer of the Domino loan for future reference...

Cheers

Looks great. Perhaps best to get a BBQ cover for it or birds will mess it up.
