I'm having so much fun in considering using it like a template to build another one but from my home milled and planed pine boards. Have to seal them up REALLY well to keep it from rotting though

It is coming along very, very well. Excited to see the finished product. Well done!

Just a quick minute in the garage to feel productive. I like shiny things, so I wet sanded this. Just a once over, but I'll likely finish it up and get it polished

Started on the doors, I THINK I'm happy with the top. For the time being at least. First door has been sanded and had one coat of sanding sealer

Loving the look Eric!

Thanks! It's such a unique setup, not sure I've seen someone just sand and clear the redwood

I understand why Weber didn't do it originally, but imagine if they had.

That’s going to be a fun one to say the least!

I'm really having for with it, it's VERY satisfying to see the wood come out from under the original stain!

Some more progress. I soaked the hardware in evaporust and the results are fantastic. The screws look new. I plan to repaint the hinges and handles black. I sanded the other 2 doors and have a coat of sanding sealer on then now. Overall I'm still REALLY happy with how it's all turning out

Coming along nicely. Stick the screws and bolts through an empty cardboard box to hold them for painting.

I like the screws, Looks like a hand forged nail.

I'll have to figure out a custom bracket to hold an ash pan as all of that is missing

Galvanized bucket?
