: 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.

Beautiful boat and thanks for site on fittings, I've been chewing over how to make these
