: I see Nick uses the hatch on the rear of the night heron stitch and
: glue. Can this work on a stripper?

Here is an exploded view of the hatch. It could work on a stripper, but the back deck (yellow) should be perfectly flat, or the spacer (blue)would need to conform to the deck to make the lip (green) flat. If the lip is not flat, the whole thing would not turn.
