I can do you one better. I took a shaft in to have the ferrule replaced at a pool hall with a lathe and asked how he'd do it. He said he'd remove the ferrule and replace it. I said fine. Then I discovered his idea of removal was to saw off the ferrule and grind down the shaft and put on a new one. He couldn't understand why I was upset to lose only an inch of the shaft.......
If Tommie decides he doesn't want it I'll take it (providing it's still available).Tom if it's still available I'll take it. Please PM info
