The handles are set in front of the cover to get a few shot for the Clients to help decide their placement. This may have more seams that what I had done in the past, but I wanted to make this cover with no exposed fasteners and a more uniform look. I made some pieces to cap over the seam inside shown on the right.

I marked it with this X for alignment for the best fit. This shows the drop flange attached to the cover

These premium PVD coated brass handle for a good life-time finish that will not tarnish and is a lot harder than a lacquer finish for scratch resistance, since it is really a colored chrome plating. They run $75 each installed.

The right photo is the sides of the grill top cover. It had to be made with a flat top for clearance when it is in the open position. I could not seem to find a brass handle that matched the style. This black handle was all I could find.

After some consideration the clients opted for this stainless steel handle in stead. I also needed to make a hinged frame to attach to the counter top.

After they were finished I packed these up and sent them. It seems I had not packed them well enough and the grill cover got dented by the peak of the firepit cover after the foam cushion between them got dislodged, so they had to send it back for me to repair.

I decided the best way to solve this was to stretch and dome the flat top a bit, which also helped strengthen it, so in the end it was for the best. I also made a pair of these 4 gauge copper wire supports to hold up the cover while they use the grill.
