Basically like Renner hammers.
In the past I have written a number of times about making a 'cushion'. It is
a shock absorber which is very much necessary.

I think even last week or the week before I wrote about the 'cushion' in
reaction to a question posted here by a Belgian collegue.

So if and when you're interested go back in the archives two weeks.
