Hey Troy I was talking about ones that turners make like pens Ian

You buy the stitch pickers from any cheap shop.
Remove the handles and make your own mounting handle with cap.

Ian , PSI have a great range of goodies, but on the downside there International postage is High, about $45 flat rate. Anything you want from them you can get from either Woodturningz ( email Ryan) as most PSI stuff is not listed on their site . Wood n whimsies is also a reseller of PSI ,both those companies will do the flat rate package at $14.50 US . Just don't look too hard at their sites as you will end up needing a big box LOL. Cheers John

Hey Dick Thanks mate for that I will have to have a go at a couple of them thanks mate. Hey John thanks for the tip I like the looks of the big one might have to grab a couple and as for postage thats a rip of how can they charge that much so I will have to get it from one of the other once again thanks guys Ian

PSI are a joke when it comes to postage and I have refused to buy from them when I am able to by from woodnwhimsies and they look after you and only charge the minimum in postage.

Cheers Ian

You can use the instructions that Whaler 1 posted, but you don't have to use all of the cap. I cut the cap off about 1/4" below the ridge and then you hole doesn't need to be as wide, but only wide enough to accomadate the length of the ripper. It is a lot easier without the entire length of the cap. Here is the link to another tutorial on making them.

They are nice to make and sewers and quilters love them.
