Firstly,
superb pieces of work there Kev
It has inspired me to give it a go myself, see what you think.................
There's a whip finish tool and dubbing twister, all components were just lying around, easy!
The whip finish tool has an old door stop taped over the exposed thread, I could have sawn off the offending piece but wanted something safe and pleasing to the eye.
njoy
Happy new Year
