Ron,

I have used slices of copper pipe joiner fittings, there are some ferrules
available at Lee Valley Tools, and I understand that people who work on
hydraulic hoses have a whole potload of the things in various sizes. Having
a machinist make them might cost more than the lathe.

I just acquired an old Beaver lathe along with 6 tools. The tools need some
rust and paint removal but I've noticed that the brass or copper sleeves
are missing. Can these be purchased some place or do I need to find a
machinist to make some?
