Now that I've joined the ranks of folks with "spinny thingys...", I'm thinking about making some lathe tool handles as well as chisel handles with the new Delta 46-460. So... I'm also thinking about material for ferrules.
I've worked with Copper before, but am thinking about ordering either some brass or highly polished stainless steel tubing from McMaster Carry to make some ferrules from. The best price break seems to be for either a 3' or 6' length of tubing, which would probably make more ferrule's than I'd need.
Is anybody interested in going together on an order? If so, do you have a material preference other than copper and a diameter preference?
Thx.
Scott
