tenjin,
Handle turning with Paul:
Fitting chisel handle:
Also, Brass tubing is available from online metal suppliers and at good hobby stores.
Typical ferrule size is 3/4 inch diameter with a wall thickness of about 1/32 or so and between 5/8 and 3/4 long unless you’re sizing them progressively for chisel size.
I cut mine to length with a hacksaw but a tubing cutter works well also.
Hope this helps,
Best,
Craig
