George that table is a piece of junk...ah please give me your address and I will send my sons over to pick it up and ah..take it to the dump, and I will be kind enough to leave my OTG to you since yours without the handles are going to be hard to useOriginally posted by George L:
Thanks guys.
Earthquakes are always a concern here. The height of that un-mortared wall concerns me. I might lower the brick firewall by a couple of courses. In fact, I will use landscape block adhesive to secure the bricks once I'm sure of the layout.

seriously, did you think of leaving the handles on and let them sit on the table top and not have the wood touching the kettle for air circulation?
Not to hijack the thread but if you mean mine, I did not take any "after shots". It was stained and sealed.Originally posted by Chris Gallucci:
Curious if there's been any updates to this project. I really like this and is similar to something I'm planning to start on myself.

<STRIKE>I'll see if I can dig it up...</STRIKE>
Here it is...

Sorry to hear that George.
I really like the "hefty" look of your table so I'm going to build out the frame in a similar style.
By the time I get done, I hope to have a counter top figured out. It's looking like an airgap is going to be necessary.
