For the all wood ones they're $350 each. The ones with tin cost a little extra due to extra time it takes to get them done. The small ones use a 48quart Igloo chest and are $250 in all wood.
I hope to be contacting you later this year.

I have two that I'm currently doing for some family friends but so far I've just done the frames. Haven't yet found the time/motovation to finish them off yet. For Father's Day last year I build 5 three weeks before, sold all 5 within 3 days and ended up building 5 more in 3 days because so many people wanted one. This year I'm planning to have about 20 ready to go about a month out from Father's Day.

Can we sticky this thread?

We're finally getting a house in the next several months, and I'd like to do some projects like this, beginning with my BGE table.

Would be interested in seeing other people's projects, potential projects, or even just stuff people find online that they think is interesting.

Thats a great idea.

My next project will be a tall cabinet/armoire to match the coffee table. It will house the cable box, xbox, blankets, etc. It's my first try at cabinest doors, so it should be interesting. Starting it tomorrow hopefully.

Love looking at these other projects to get ideas.

We have two large dog crates in the bedroom. I turned both of them into bedside tables so they aren't such an eyesore in the house. Basically built a table that fits over the crates.

Just be aware of the dimensions of your crate, your table, and the door into the room you are putting it. Couldn't get the tables into the bedroom without removing the top off it after I had finished it. Luckily I had only screwed the top on and did not glue and screw it like I had originally planned. The issue is the small alcove leading into the master, couldn't get the table twisted around and into the door because of that.

Buy table. Buy crate smaller than table. Slide crate under table. Profit.

I used birch plywood, some of that really nice looking smooth sanded stuff from Home Depot. Then I laminated the edge with some birch veneer with my wife's iron and got yelled at for that.

Built the vent boom on this one and did a lot of other work on it too.

Coolest thing ive built at my house is a chicken tractor or a potato gun.
