DSC02456.JPGFile Handle Closeup218 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
