I mentioned in this post (
http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/index.php?topic=140.msg934#msg934) that I was building a side table for my Master-Touch. The Inspiration was a Jarrah wood side table offered by Weber in the 90s, at least in Australia, that I had seen on another forum. This Jarrah wood table was a beautiful dark mahagony color, but I planned to make mine in light oak to match my new handles.
Soon after starting, I decided I did not want an exact replica of the Jarrah table, and my goals became the following:
A slatted plank top table that affixes to the Master-Touch handle on one end.
Relatively close match to the new handles in color.
Had to look AS IF it could have been offered as an original
weber product.
And ... I had to use the following wood pieces:
These are actually bunk bed side rails from my kids beds. I found them in the back of a closet, as the beds have not been used as bunks in a long time. It turns out ... it takes a long time to sand the finish off of these. Here they are after being sanded (40, 60, 150, 220, ugh) and getting ready for dry fit...
