Kamado Table

[BNeal]

So, I did a permanent install for my Kamado and was left with the stand. I was going to have it hauled way by the junk people when my wife says "why don't you make a table out of it?". Hmmm... sounds like a good idea. So, I found a round wooden table top on Amazon, made me up a logo for my outdoor kitchen and burned it into the table top with my laser. I thought it turned out pretty cool.

That turned out super nice! Looks like a nice place to have an adult beverage.

Show and Tell time ! You don't have to take a pic, but what's your laser setup? That looks REALLY nice!

Inquiring minds want to know

I actually took a shot of the setup when I was burning the table top. It's an X-Tool Pro with a 20 watt diode laser. Not a massive machine, but good enough to meet my needs. I even made up a couple matching coasters. ;-)

If you don’t want to make that investment yourself, it should be easy enough to hire, at a modest cost, someone local to do it for you. I’m a woodworker, but had no interest in making the laser burner time and expense investment myself. These are a pair of cremation urns I made for family members over the last 10 years. A local craft shop did the laser work for me at a very modest cost.

Wow! IMHO, that is superb. What a great use of the unneeded stand; it makes a great addition to the outdoor living space. I’m envious.

Well done—very well done!

Thanks, Jim! I'm a tinkerer (is that a word?), so, pretty happy with the results. Not all of my tinkering works out like this one.

Geez, @BNeal , first it was @Greg Jones telling me things that I needed, then @Jim6820 showed up with more suggestions. I love a good gadget and even kicked tires on some of these lasers. I managed to put that in check until I saw this. More "tools" in my future I guess.

Lol... totally get that. But if you're into making things, this laser is remarkable. Just do a search and see some of the amazing things people are creating with these things.

Don't know about that one with that "team up North" inlayed on it.

Yup, that pained me but my brother went there and loved them, so…
