My second major project since my GSCE Woodwork in 2012 which i got a B for lol.
A Kamado BBQ table made from Sapele made for a late wedding present for a good friend.
I had to get creative with gluing the frame together (mortise and tenon joinery for ultimate strength as the bbq is around 80kgs) I used packaging strap which is usually used for boxes and pallets with a strapping machine from my dads work.
I used Osmo Mahogany one coat finish for the project and pre-finished the bottom slats
This was probably the largest project i could manage in my shop as it is. I have since changed the layout to be a bit more user friendly and done a good tidy up.
got some very long parallel clamps from Rutlands which are surprisingly good. Top was doweled and glued
Cutting the hole for the bbq was a bit scary.
but it all went ok, did a quick test to make sure the bbq fits ok
And voila, table finished. It was a fun project and was my first mortise and tenon attempts (im not showing those close up lol). Perhaps the biggest challenge though was finding a vehicle big enough to deliver it to my friends house.
