[Duane Remick]

THE CORRECT DIMENSIONS....
"I want the tenon 1 inch long-
how deep to drill into the shaft???
thank you

You may want to include the type of shaft your repairing...

I always do 1.5X the length of the tenon. Also do a larger diameter in the shaft vs the diameter of the actual tenon.

Great idea!

What is the reasoning behind this?

Any time you create this type insert/tenon, the face between the ferrule and wood is the fulcrum. Having the wood inside the shaft the same size as the wood inside of the ferrule creates a point of failure, imo.

It also allows for a small step at the base of the tenon which might also add to the strength of it.
