~It's sort of odd looking in the light~

      I've been working an hour or two here and there for the past couple weeks and finally worked out the kinks. (like the shelf support in the back)

      I'm going for a semi-industrial look.

      Here's the cart, ready for paint and metal- The two pieces of wood under the top in the back swivel out to support a fold down shelf. (see last cart picture)

The side/end next to the propane tank sitting on the ground behind the unit will be covered in aluminum with 1 1/2" aluminum corner trim.

When stored, the grill sits on the middle pull out shelf-The hole in the bottom shelf is for a regular bbq propane tank

When In Use The Grill Sits On Top. The top and the edge around the top will be aluminum as well as the edge of the pull out shelf.

The Casters were 4" and made the whole unit too tall so I built up under the caster cross arms to lower the whole cabinet 2 1/4  inches.

      This is an infared grill so it will get to 650 degrees like a steakhouse and there are no flareups because the flame is never exposed to any drippings and, the whole grill plate heats evenly.

The hinged drop down shelf behind the grill for condiments, buns, salads, etc.  It's going to be BRIGHT RED

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
