Recessed deck fittings... *PIC*

I made the deck fittings, paddle park and the carved seat for Pat's Petrel project.

I turned the deck fittings on my little lathe. Cut a square blank and mount it on a 4-jaw chuck. Scoop out the recess, then turn the lip so it's at least the thickness of the deck. Cut and mount the cross-pieces. You can churn them out pretty quickly. I make mine the size of the forstner bit bit used to mount European hinges.
