This model was one of the early versions.  It was designed to be used more with a metal lathe than a wood lathe.  It will work ok on a wood lathe, but feedback during the testing phase was to go to a wider handle for the production version.  The newer production versions have a wider handle, so there is more contact area on the tool rest which gives it more stability.  I have 1 proto version, and 2 production tools.  If anybody has any questions about the tools, just let me know.

I'm not trying to take away from Ben's post.  But just want to provide a little bit of information about the differences in tools.

B, I have seen the end results on your calls and know you like the way it holds the bands on. My question is how exactly does it work? Do you cut a groove in the wood for the ringer to roll the metal into or does it work through compression? Im just not seeing the whole picture on this one I guess.

You are correct.  You have to cut little relief areas where the ringer will crimp the metal down into your relief cuts.

This one is going to go real high, it is a collectors item.  It will probably sell to a call collector for his/her collection.

I kept thinking it would hit $200.  Kind of surprised at what it sold for but I am not a collector, I would have bought it to use it.
