Multi purpose table/cart

Ok, so I built this table for Brian. He just purchased a new BBQ and I noticed he didn't have anywhere for staging his food. I was going to just build a table, but then I saw this rolling cart w/ removable tray. I thought it was a great idea. He can bring the tray inside, load it up with food and supplies, bring it to the grill, and then bring it to the table if he so desires. I made a few changes from the original (seen here: http://ana-white.com/2011/05/rolling-bar-cart-removable-tray) The biggest changes were that I did not put handles on it nor did I make it a rolling cart. The main reason was.....well....i just didn't feel like it, ok?
If he decides he wants it to roll, it's a pretty easy fix to take care of that for him. Me personally, I just liked it as a stationary table. And since I built it, I can pretty much do what I want. I also added an extra handle to one side of the cart. It can be used for a towel, BBQ tools, etc.
Overall I am happy with the build portion of it, but extremely bummed with the finish. I tried my hand at painting it with outdoor paint and a clear outdoor top coat. For some reason I could just not get it smooth. Oh well, we live and learn. No more painting for me, I will stick to staining from now on.
I hope you all enjoy and maybe Brian will invite you over for a BBQ!!!   He at least better invite me over.

 As always, start with wood......and coffee (key ingredient)

Measure and cut all pieces

 Magically it's all built (sorry, forgot to take pics along the way)

 I added an extra support piece to the side. Helps in stability and keeps the tray from falling out.

 Some black paint

 Some red paint

 Few pieces of stainless steel hardware

 Clear topcoat, installed hardware and what-do-ya-know, it's all done!

 BTW, this is my backyard I used for the pictures. Come over anytime for some grilling!
