Used the nest for about a year...dreaming of having somewhere to set something down! This is sort of a proof of concept, made out of crappy pine and using a slightly odd color choice. It seems I did ok and when I build a new one in a few years I can use better wood and remember my errors this time around. One thing to remember is not to put a knot directly under the egg. If you make pizzas or otherwise get it over 700* or so, the sap starts to boil! ;)

A decent brickyard should have round pavers big enough to go under your Egg. That should be enough mass to keep the heat off the wood.

Yikes, the splits! I pre drilled the holes and put them in both legs so hopefully that helps me out. Thanks for the warning though! I appreciate it.

Great job! I also has wheels on my table but after a year of moving the table around my deck the wheels split the table legs. So I removed the wheels and placed the table on some paver stones. So just a warning be very careful rolling your table around on your deck.

That happened to me as well. Those casters can't bear the weight. Mine's immobile, and on bricks now.

I might have slightly heavier duty casters, but they seem to be holding up fine. Granted it is on a concrete patio, might make a difference.
