The Roll-Around Barbeque Cart

Compliments of Shopsmith, Inc.

Have you ever noticed how outdoor cooking can often take a lot more effort and work than it really should? It seems that no matter how carefully you prepare for the job, you always have to run back into the house to get something you forgot or -- to find a place where you'll have enough room to cut up your meat or vegetables or otherwise prepare something that you're planning to cook. This easy-to-build Barbecue Cart will solve both of those problems for you. First, it comes complete with two spacious drawers, a condiment organizer, a utensil holder, a slide-out cutting board/shelf and plenty of space for all the cooking "stuff" you'll be needing. The laminate-covered top offers plenty of space for food preparation and "staging" . . . it's conveniently portable . . . plus . . . it's attractive enough to fit in, no matter where you may choose to store it between cook-outs. We made our example from red oak with a white laminate-covered top and lower shelf. If you're planning to leave the table outside, be sure to choose a weatherproof wood like red cedar , redwood or cypress for the basic construction and use waterproof glue and brass screws to put everything together.

Back
To solve this problem, start by filing the top surface of your tool rest straight and true….eliminating all nicks and gouges along the way. Next, use a fairly coarse sharpening stone to slightly round-over the two back 90o corner edges that will be riding against the rest during cutting.
