A slight faux pas
Not wanting to risk damaging the beautiful coasters in the workshop and in order to get the dimensions right I sized the holder based on the two trial coasters that were given to me. These though didn't have felt on their undersides. There is enough depth in the base for me to make the inside a little deeper although I am not at all sure if I want to go through the process of centering a glued on tenon on to the base before I can start to make the inside any deeper.
I tried using the button jaws but the shape would not allow a firm enough grip.
Live and learn.
