Doh!

I was at the swap meet last Sunday looking for folding metal legs to build myself a low cooking table for charcoal briquettes and three Dutch ovens at a time. I was going to go buy a $50+ piece of 3/8' thick aluminum diamond plate for the top at the scrap dealer then bolt the folding legs on. I told that to a vender friend and he said, "Why don't you just give me a dollar for this heavy duty metal typing stand." :duh: DOh! I had been looking right at it and didn't even think about it!

I took the wheels off and it's now the perfect height.

Sorry about the snow.

Cool beans!! I think you could probably rig up a windscreen to go along the back but I wouldn't get too carried away. That metal is probably pretty thin and will burn (rust) through in a couple of seasons of use. Hell, for a dollar it'll be just fine, Prem. Good haul!! :thumbsup:

Jeff,

Thanks. Yup. Already have the .024 diamond plate for the windscreen and for riveting on to the rather thick sheet metal table top and wings/leaves as protectors. It'll last 5 years that way.

BTW, nice tie dye. You belong out here in the State of Jefferson, not in the Midwest, dude.
