Tools Required
If you’re signing up to turn a golf ferrule by hand, I suggest a small handful of tools. With some simple tools, the process will be much easier and turn out better. Many of these can be found in our “At Home Workshop” post here . Below is the list.

Finishing the Ferrule
Now that you’ve gotten your ferrule flush with the tape, you can remove the tape. You may notice the ferrule is still a little high. Depending on your irons, you can finish this edge off with minimal sanding using the same technique but without the tape. Again, see my previous warnings.
