I'd go with Blueberries too.Whenever she asksI keep telling her, "I'll eat just about anything and will never turn down food."
These blueberry buns are fantastic. Right in the middle of being a muffin and a scone. The best of both worlds. When I asked her what she called them she says Scottish buns and apparently the original recipe calls for lemon zest, dates or apricots and nuts. It's just flour butter and sugar.

What did you use to drill the hole, a large forstner bit?Since being 'layed off' I've been looking for projects that don't cost. I packed out my chop saw and flame thrower, cut a few of those 3" rounds up and scorched them. Brushed off the char. Took out my $2 pallet of water colors, drill a hole in the top for a tea light and just like that, saved shopping for Christmas. This is one I just varathaned.
Just a 1 3/8 drill bit.What did you use to drill the hole, a large forstner bit?
That's a big bit!Just a 1 3/8 drill bit.
I have a similar wood boxed set. Believe I bought mine at Woodworkers Warehouse back when we had one locally. I purchased a hardwood flooring nailer there also. Local lumber yard couldn't come near the price. Think the difference was 80 American dollars.That's a big bit!

It is. Kicked my thumb when it spun enough times I had to stop. Not the bit, the chunk of wood when I was trying to drill it. Next time I go at it I'll reverse the drill LOL!!That's a big bit!
Use a clamp or stop of sorts if possibleIt is. Kicked my thumb when it spun enough times I had to stop. Not the bit, the chunk of wood when I was trying to drill it. Next time I go at it I'll reverse the drill LOL!!
I have a vice but it'll mash the edges of the piece, they're fluted where the grain changes. Just have to suck it up.Use a clamp or stop of sorts if possible
Gotcha. Surely you have a strap wrench at least? If you're nearly done at least it's food for thought for the future. Could even fabricobble one together if ya need.I have a vice but it'll mash the edges of the piece, they're fluted where the grain changes. Just have to suck it up.
I was thinking a 2x4 & a pair of ratchet straps to hold in place.Webbing and a ratchet
Not sure I can stand on a 2x4 ...I was thinking a 2x4 & a pair of ratchet straps to hold in place.
Stand on 2 x 4 to hold down & drill
He's holding my beer and watching.Get someone else to hold it?
Can't drill a few small holes in the bottom & mount to a piece of scrap so you can clamp it down to drill it?Hmmm. Webbing and a ratchet might work. Just to grip so it doesn't spin out of my hand. Good stinking you're a fart smeller!![]()
I may try that, save my thumb getting wrenched out if it's socket. I have quite a few to do do.Can't drill a few small holes in the bottom & mount to a piece of scrap so you can clamp it down to drill it?

Hope the big bad wolf doesn't come huffing and a puffin!To me, it appears that there are 4x posts, but the actual load is carried from 2 sistered 2x4 stringers (name?) resting on a 2x4 jack stud. And below, it looks like one side of the deck is supported by a plate that is anchored to the side of the house? I hope there are actually posts carrying the load to the ground somewhere.
Yep. That's the ugly truth, Uglytruth...I'mma professional criticizerer!Is that all you do is criticize others craftmanship?![]()
