In the first three I did the smaller diameter bit of the maple shaft which slips into the ferrule was a larger diameter than the hole I was drilling, leaving plenty of epoxied surface area to keep the ferrule in place. On the last one they were about the same diameter. Drilling out meant that the only thing holding the ferrule on was the epoxy between the bottom of the ferrule and the shaft - not a good plan.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13544945536252668155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5450121982799231004.post-34337730627703413102013-03-07T07:58:16.622-08:002013-03-07T07:58:16.622-08:00Fascinating!

Still, you managed to get a pretty straight hole dug out after the initial attempt. <br /><br />I'm not sure what happened to your ferrule, exactly, since I have never taken one apart myself. You can buy a variety of ferrule materials on the internet. As I recall, I have had custom shafts made with melamine and aegis, maybe linen, ferrules. I would have to look back at the old emails to verify, if you're interested.<br /><br />Ken<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295885767615568682noreply@blogger.com
