BBQ Upgrade - (Assembly Part 1)

Ok, I really need to read product descriptions more carefully. First, after checking all the measurments for the Primo and the Table to make sure they'd fit, I never thought to check the weight of the Primo.... 200lbs!!! And there's no good way to grab it. Doh! Second, the Table (which I took the time to assemble on Friday).... Yeah, that's unfinished (and given how humid my garage gets, I need to seal the wood).

Oh well, on the plus side I get to experiment with finishing.  I purchased "A Simple Varnish Finish" from the Wood Whisperer store.  (For a newbie like me, this was a huge help!)  Since the table's Cypress (and I read online that it's a slightly oily wood), I'm using Shellac for the first coat just to seal the oil in the wood.  Then I'll going to use 2-3 coats of clear gloss varnish to finish. I spent this morning sanding and putting the first coat of Shellac on it.  Here's the result:

I'll post again after I finish applying the varnish to show the final product.
