So, i finally did this mod that
@Idahawk inspired me to do. As he stated in his post, the wire rack that the SSP has is not big enough for items and sits too far under the grill.
I used Tung oil and Spar varnish along with a stain that I already had in the garage that happened to match the handles Brian sent.
What you guys think?
Here is the raw wood cut to size. I placed the boards to see how they would look and checked how much spacing I would need between the boards. I noticed the end boards would need notches cut out on the corners to allow flush fitting with the frame.
Here I have begun to apply oils, before stain, stain again and seal several times.
Here, i assembled the boards and then screwed them to the guide boards that will fit between the bottom frame rails. The two guide boards keep the shelf from sliding and fit tight
I now have the wire rack that I no longer need. Anyone want it?
Next mods...lift...wooden rollers, etc and the extension to the table
