My cypress table had gotten pretty badly weathered after 10 years of hard use. Decided to make some changes to it and sand/varnish it again to keep it protected. Also going to be installing the rutland gasket to it this weekend to replace my original one.
Added 4 larger diameter pneumatic swivel casters to help with vibration from moving over my rough surfaces.
Never liked the ceramic on ceramic rattle from the 3 feet it rests on so i coated them in the same silicone material I'm gonna install my rutland gasket with. Seems like it made a great difference so far.
Also shown is what's probably a bad idea but always works for me on how i remove it from the cradle after removing all the internals. Tighten up the bands to ensure they hold. Strap handle to air inlet opening and one person pick up from front handle and one from the back hinge gently and quickly to set on ground.

I thought about doing a dot on the feet since they seem uneven. In practice the thing doesn’t move so seems unnecessary. Does anyone have more experience, facts, or data to about this?
Great job. It looks nicer now than when you first built it.
Do you have the plans for that cart? I’m thinking of making one like it from cedar left over from deck build.
You’ve got a real keeper there, a Kamado Joe with all stainless steel hardware. I was always curious as to why KJ discontinued making their kamados with SS fittings.
That’s a beautiful table. Well done OP!
Why the cooper paste?
Looks great! Also a reminder to folks that it’s not uncommon to find stands used on OfferUp and Craigslist, esp if you’re by a big city. I got a used table for $20 and restored like you did.
Man do I wish I would have gotten that stainless steel hardware…
