My Custom One Touch Platinum Dual *** UPDATED! :-) ***
« on: March 11, 2016, 06:51:29 AM »
Had some time the past few week so I worked on My Custom One Touch Platinum Dual.

Welded, Mocked-Up, Primed, and Painted. Needed to make a wooded temp so I can have the granite cut.

2 coats of primer
2 coats of paint (With 2 to go)
2-3 coats of clear coat to go

The Primer and Paints used so far.






Frame mocked-up...


Left tool holder


Right tool holder


What’s that? A bucket? What’s that for?  Charcoal? Water? Maybe it’s for oh I give up!


BEER and ICE!!! That’s right no longer will I put my Ice Cold Beer down only to heat it up next to the grill on those 100 degree Chicago and later Wisconsin days




Side Panel Prep and Paint...




Frame Primed, Painted with some work left yet












So coming along very well so far (knock on wood *Handles* ;D)

Need to do yet...

* (2) Coats Of Paint
* (2-3) Coats Of Clear Coat
* (2) Granite
* (2) Wheels With Wood Walls
* (2) Clean Grills
* (2) Polish Ash Catchers
* (2) Paint Ash Buckets
* Some other shit I can't remember right now but most of the big stuff taken care of! ;D

The frame I ended up building and then had someone weld it up for me.
I was going to have a body shop paint it but they went out of biz! So enden up doing it.

That looks very nice. Good job! How did you bend and notch the tubes?

The pipe is the top of a chain-link fence, Bent using a 1"  conduit bender and I notched it with a step drill bit then cut it 1/2

Very nice! The storage shelf below and the ample workspace of the top take your design to the next level!

I used to have 2 Large BGE's mounted on a wooden table, then onto a Metro cart, and I can tell you that you are going to really enjoy cooking on it!

I cook on: Backwoods Gater, Lang 36, Hunsaker Smokers, Pellet Pro 22" WSM, BGE's, WSM's, Cajun Bandits, PK Grills, Drum Smokers, Genesis Silver C, Weber Q's, Cookshack 008, Little Chief, La Caja China #2, Lodge Sportsman...oh yeah! Weber Kettles! Kamado restoration and pit modification hack!
