How To build Golf Clubs - How to turn a ferrule and Epoxy

- This video is probably the most comprehensive video for golf club assembly with respect of epoxy and ferrule finishing. We finish a ferrule by hand without hand tools then we finish ferrule with the machines.
Then we talk about EPOXY, how mix it what type there etc. Something to watch for sure.

Great video Jim. Keep up this excellent series. Outstanding craftsmanship!
Have learned so much from your videos!! Now I understand why I have so much epoxy left over. I was squeezing one trigger per club!! Thank you
Nice video Jim, liked your attention to detail re the thickness of the tape when applying acetone 👍👍
Great video Jim. You’ve inspired me. I’ve been thinking about doing some basic club repairs. Regriping my own clubs and maybe putting new nicer ferrules on my clubs. Army/Navy Game this weekend. Go Army 😄
Great video!!
Great video Jim. That Acetone sure does a number on those ferrules!
You got that right!
Jim, love your videos. Only part way through this one and I have to make a suggestion: call that epoxy a two-to-one mix! You got a one-to- one mix and then a two-to-one mix...
I've been a clubmaking hobbyist for years and I didn't find you until about 3 years or so ago and you've shown and taught me some great clubmaking tips and methods. Love your channel, and thanks for what you are doing.
I just could get 2 to 1 out of my mouth lol
Nice job Jim.
thanks
I have tried flipping the shop roll over and using the cloth side soaked in acetone to finish the ferrule. It works fairly well.
Hey Jim! The one thing I’ve kinda struggled with is keeping the shaft label on the lower side of the club. Seems like I can’t seem to keep it from moving around before I set the club down for the epoxy to settle.
JIM,,,,GREAT STUFF!!!! May have missed it,,,but what grit is the emory cloth? Also,,,, how do you establish that reference line from the logo centerpoint down to the ferrule to match up with the back center of the club hosel??? THX MUCH!
Awesome content Jim. I really appreciate your craftsmanship. Question: How many times do you put car wax on the club heads and the shafts?
during a build once at the end.
Una consulta? Que pegamento debo utilizar? Para pegar la tapa o corona de carbono de mi driver Sim max taylormade
Sorry I didn't hear what type of sandpaper you're using on the ferrules (prior to the felt belt).
I know this is an old video so sorry. I have a rack where i have some clubs stored after I reshaft. Could i set the club in this verticle rack grip down?
Jim, do you use the 3m epoxy dispenser or another manufacturer? 3m dispenser is really expensive and others look similar but much less money? dont know if quality is differnet. thanks
Off topic question...is frequency testing a set of pulled used shafts a worthwhile exam for evaluating uniformity or is it just used in trimming new shafts? Thanks and love your channel
nothing wrong with checking the flex prior to the build. Can let you know if there will be a problem.
Bob….it depends where you’re headed to reuse the pulled shafts. Whether tapered or .370” parallel, …I measure….cut length, locate FLO, and using a 7i head of known weight, loft and lie, dry fit to see what butt cpm I get….compared to what I believe I need in butt stiffness. Customizing has graduated over the past 25+ years from all .370” parallels to an equal # or more of .355” tapers. Jim knows….Still a work in progress.
Exactly what kind of white towel are you using for the acetone? Just a common paper towel, or something with a finer weave?
sams club paper towel. they break down into smaller sheets then I cut them into 2 x 2 squares
Hi Jim. What do you do when the shaft fit is loose? mavrik pro/modus 120. both are .370 but the fit is so loose that the head just falls right off. I used a lot of epoxy but the head started to come loose after 1 round. I have seen you use the dental floss to hold the head snug when working on the club but never for final assembly. I tried some drywall fabric tape but it makes the shaft diameter too thick. Thanks.
A golf shim normally works best
@@doubled6244 shims make it too thick.
I would have 355 to 3700 shim too. if that is not working, the fishing line trick will do it .I place it in the back side of the hosel and trim prior to drying
When ordering club heads or shafts can you ask whoever you are buying from to weigh them before sending them out.
Jim would 100 grit emery cloth be too aggressive ?
it would be on the ragged edge of to aggressive but if you use a light touch you can get awat with using it. Just keep an eye on the tape for the indication of stopping
What grit emery cloth are you using?
I call it fine grit, but somewhere int he 120 and up. to prevent deep scratches I use180
Where do you get your shafts and ferrules
What paper towel do you use for the ferrules. Also do you put anything on the paper towel to wipe off the epoxy.
sams club, lol. the type that separates into small sections already.
@@McGolf I live in spain so we don't have that but what texture does it have as I fine most leave residue when wiping off the glue and same with shining the ferules. Thanks for all the content.
do the same procegure with steel ?
absolutely
Jim…After turning with 42” belt….felt or linen, I finish with wiping with lite steel wool, then instead of wiping with soaked cloth, I simply pour from a plastic bottle, while rotating. Takes more product, finish is shiny…consistent. Saves getting product on hands. Mizuno ladies use gloves…
Once the epoxy warms up and tastes like butterscotch, it's ready to use.
Jim - Im new to your channel but love it and learn a ton from you! Two questions:
1. What brand machine is your 1x42 sander/buffer and what buffer wheel?
2. Is the 3M 810 expo the same as 420 but just a quick/tour set?
I purchased them from Golfworks years ago. finding a double arbor motor at those specs is turning out to be pretty hard. The buffing wheel is un-stitched buff wheel available at golf works. You will have to buy 3 to get to that width.
2) technically no, practically yes. The 810 is quick set yet it seems a bit like an acrylic where the 420 is an epoxy. Both are very good.
what were the tip weights for???
I was wondering when someone would ask. They for swing weighting the club. I forgot to put it in the tip until the last club. So I pull off the head put some epoxy on the tip weight, replaced the head and moved the ferrule to the correct spot. :)
@@McGolf You couldn't hear me yelling at the monitor..."Hey, the tip weights"...
I know you and Robin are tired of hearing from me but I failed to understand your obsession with ferrules? I love the old Pings without them
