Just cut the pieces for the top. I did the last cutting for the top and bottom last Friday, and the rest of the stuff today.
The top and bottom pieces have been cut, test fitting the 18"X18" tile into place.
Just finished attaching the top and botton pieces to the frame. I ran out of screws during this step and had to run to Home Depot for another box of screws.
Attached the wheels and tires to the frame. I'm really hoping these work out, I found these at Harbor Freight for about 6 bucks each.I think they give the table a real off road kind of look...hehe If Drew sees this he'll be wanting to put a lift kit on the eggtable.
And here's the table's current state. After Sanding the top and bottom shelves, I pretreated then stained. I had already stained the frame, the bottom and top shelves, and in between the slats for the shelves. I have to wait at least 24 hours before finishing with the the Helmsman Spar treatment, so I probably won't get to do anymore until after Thanksgiving. I'm also thinking about giving it one more coat of stain before the final protector coat with the Helmsman Spar stuff.I also added 1/4 inch plywood backers to the tile, just for a little extra strength and to lift them up closer to the same level of the top and bottom shelves.
More to come after Thanksgiving!!!

Lookin good! I love the color, wish i would have made mine that color...
Oh yea, it looks like you added about 50lbs worth of screws to it :P
The color is really close to what I wanted, I'm thinking I may want to do another coat of stain before I put on the protection coat.
hehe, there are a lot of screws, i ran out and had to buy more at home depot.
