Very nice Neil, Do they have the metal spring in them or the felt pads? I bought a batch around Christmas time & they have the felt pads :thinks:

These have the metal retainer that you have to carefully bend around and insert without creasing. Not always an easy thing to do!:whistling:

The felt pads also take a little bit of getting used to fitting aswell to make a neat job of it, not really sure if there much good or are just a cheap alternative to the metal retainer :thinks:

Hi Neil.
Two quick snaps with my iphone7.
This double ended ripper was one of my first turning pieces.
This has the metal springs in too. Pain that they were to fit. ?

They are certainly Rippers Neil and not just in name. Great job I still have one to make when I get around to it like most things
