Awhile back, several people made seam rippers with nicer handles than the cheapo plastic ones that come with them. I have a pin chuck for doing the turning, but the one part I can't figure out is how to close up the end, where the actual metal ripper comes out. My pin chuck is a 7mm size, so the smallest I can use and still put a tube in it. And I have to be able to get the ripper part down inside the handle and find a way to make it stay. Plus I'd like for it to be removeable so that part could be replaced if needed. But I just can't figure out what to do where the opening is. What have other people done or what ideas do you have?
