Does anyone have (or know where there are on this site) spec's and detailed pics of this Weber vintage table (per one post found, it's part WT-18)? Didn't see anything in the gallery, and a simple word search hasn't netted anything too terribly detailed. Thanks!

....shout out to Craig, as I borrowed a pic of his table!
Bob-
What kind of specs are you looking for? Are you looking to build a table?
If so, I can set you up with a tracing of the table and leg measurements if needed.
Just let us know what you need...

Yep, hoping to build one. Would love any measurements you can provide. I'm also looking for pics of the underside of the table. I swear someone had posted some fairly detailed pics on here, but i can't locate them. Thanks!!
I get you some measurements today. I almost forgot I used to have that blonde/natural Zav handle on my brownie. ;D
Please post the measurements here as I have been thinking of doing one myself from some of my deck scraps.
On the right, hanging over the fence above the wheelbarrow.....

the old guy I got the Happy Cooker from said he made it......was kinda funky already, got rained on once or twice & came unglued....particle board with cheap veneer......I think maybe he did make one looking at Weber's for the idea.....he bought a Happy Cooker after all......still have all the metal................

The used bare steel kettle sockets. You could use donor sockets from a rat rod kettle.

This clips is made specifically for MBH kettles. The wide space is for 22s/26s and the narrow space is for 18 MBHs.

Bravo! Thanks, Craig. Any way you could guesstimate the radius's?
well done Craig!
Thanks so much craig vety informative now i need to print pics and try my hand a reproducing.
Cheers guys! Here's the view tonight. Beautiful night and I'm doing some KFC and biscuits. It was a great excuse to whip out the work table. I hope the pics and measurements will be of help.

Thanks so much Craig. Hopefully I have time this weekend to start working on this project!
That table is beautiful! So much nicer than my crappy plastic one. (kinda like how the SSP is so much nicer than its descendants).
When were they made?
Btw, as I see all these new (to me) kettles, accessories, etc, I want to learn their general production run dates. Is there one place to find this info?
The guide for that stuff is in the works....lotta, lotta models & changes & tweeks to account for.....but it's a 'comin' !!!!!
Cool. A labor of love indeed. Bravo!
Does Weber even know all the stuff they sold?!!
I've got both this work table and the modern plastic one. The wooden one gets put into service more often. As most of my kettles are MBH variety. And the wooden one has more space and is more fun to work with..

When were they made?
The work tables started out in the mid-late 50s as laminated with metal around the sides. Just like a 50s kitchen table. Same shape. By the late 60s they changed to wood grain laminate. And by 1972 (according to the catalog) they were wooden press board like the one I have. They were made until the early 80s or so. I would love to see how the last ones were built to attach to the WBH kettles.
Craig, I'm still not sure if the parts I have were actually for an official Weber table or not......
It's a wire (like thin grate or the tool hook thickness material) bent into a shape that loops over the handle......from under the table just the same, but it's not flat stock like yours or others I've seen....
I'll get some pics & put here.....

Cool! Lets see some of those pics! :D
Craig, thank you so much! This is just what I was looking for, and it will be very helpful... hoping to get one together soon!
I drew this up real quick based of the pictures.

Wow... thank you! That wil definitely help! I don't have the skills to draw "this up real quick"... very much appreciated!
Nice drawing. Not be be a butt, but the tape reads 29-1/4 in the picture?

Love the AutoCAD drawing, I use AutoCAD daily and it didn't click that it would be much easier if there was a drawing for the table. Great Job!! Are you an engineer Brickout?

I've been an AutoCAD use since 1991. Originally my background was in drafting design. Currently I'm one year away from earning my degree in architecture.
