:Congrats on the launch. I am most interested in your turned fittings. Although it may not be of general interest, I rely on my woodturning skills to distract viewers from my lack of stripping experience.
My general plan is to turn a shoulder on a round blank to fit a hole cut in the deck. I will use a gouge to make a round depression and then turn the outside round. Did you use anything special for a chuck? I will probably turn a plug on the bottom and jam it in a wood faceplate.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Mike
