106 AMATEUR EODMAKING 



All of the best rods are equipped with 

 pinned ferrules, and they seldom work loose. 

 But these are fitted by expert workmen, aided 

 by the finest machine tools. As I am writing 

 from the beginner's point of view, I advise

 you are far from home, there is no trouble- 

 some pin to pick out Instead, you warm the 

 ferrule, push out the broken wood, and set the 

 ferrule on a freshly fitted part.
