The last thing that you want to do is start "winging" it on peoples cues. You will be out of the repair business before you ever get started. The money that repair work brings in is handy, but be confident that you know what you're doing before you take on any job. Start hacking up peoples cues and your lathe will be a big paper weight because word will spread about your bad work.
What kind of lathe did you buy?...JER

i have several old shafts to play with and im not gonna do a ferrule repair for anyone until i know what im doing...dont worry..what is the tools i need for removal and what is best to turn them down with...thanks
Tools
Pick up a thick piece of leather. If you have a Tandy Leather store near you, they usually have a box of scrap leather pieces that you can get really cheap. To remove the old ferrule, run the lathe in reverse and grip the ferrule with the leather. As the ferrule heats up from the friction, the glue bond will break down and the ferrule will come right off.
If you plan to install threaded ferrules, you'll need a tenon threader or, if your lathe cuts threads, a thread cutting tool. Otherwise, a basic HSS cutting tool can be used for a sleeved ferrule.
Turn down the new ferrule with a "sharp" HSS cutting tool. If your lathe has power feed, that will give you a smoother cut. After cutting it down, you'll still need to sand it to blend with the shaft and polish it to a nice luster.
If you have more questions, PM me. I'll be glad to help.
