DSC02456.JPGFile Handle Closeup232 viewsFerrule is made from 5/16" flare nut. After turning off the corners, I found that using a file on the spinning ferrule helps to produce a very smooth and even taper. I also rounded over the end of the ferrule with the file this time, rather than the scraper.Chuck Myers

DSC02454.JPGFile Handle in Context218 viewsNested between handle for #49 (which used 1/2" flare nut for ferrule) and Skroozon handle (which uses stamped metal of some sort). The Skroozon does a perfectly adequate job, but I think I like the look and feel of rosewood/brass better.Chuck Myers

DSC02444.JPGRasp Handle145 viewsI tried Jim Thompson's ferrule-from-compression-nut approach using a flare nut. The approach worked just fine, and the result was this handle for a Nicholson #50. Wood is maple burl.Chuck Myers

DSC02446.JPGRasp Handle Ferrule151 viewsJim's technique of making the tenon a bit over-long and trimming to exactly the end of the ferrule works nicely. The primary difference between a compression nut and a flare nut is the length of the small tenon--quite a bit longer for the latter.Chuck Myers
