vintage weber work table specs?
« on: August 11, 2014, 08:02:30 PM »
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...
Interested in ANY offset handle SJs you may have.

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.
This is a fairly cheap hobby when you consider the time  with family and friends and how many meals are created.

  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................

Here we go...

1" thick



29.5" at the longest point




28.25" long at the center. (Figuring for bowl contour.





17.5" wide









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.



Leg length.


Standard 1" kettle leg aluminum.


















Tool rack is 11" long. These have varied depending on when they were made as have the bowl handle clips.

Bravo! Thanks, Craig. Any way you could guesstimate the radius's?

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.

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?
