I created these recessed deck fittings for my G. I cute the rings out of some scrap cherry with a 1 5/8 inch hole saw and a 1 inch drill bit using my have drill.

To assure that the circles are concentric, I drilled half way through the cherry with the hole saw. Then, using the hole created by the hole saw's center bit, I drilled out the 1 inch smaller circle. Then completed the work with the hole saw.

The blocks were cut on my table saw. I dug the holes out with a gouge. Drilling a center hole into the material to the desired depth of the hole acts as a good depth guild when using the gouge.

Two dollars worth of SS were cut to make the little bars. The bars extend beyond the cherry rings and will add a little 'grab' to the deck.
