: I made similar fittings, only with a stainless steel bar. I'll post
: photos someday... But I used a plunge router and a bit with the
: desired shape. I went down a board cutting all of the cups, then
: cut the blanks to size so that I didn't have to handle tiny
: pieces with the router. My shop is much better suited to a big
: router than even a small lathe....

I did the same basic thing, but used a router bit in my drill press to make the round bottomed holes. I used brass rods as the cross piece, and just epoxied the fittings to the underside of my deck.
