i love my beating stick it gets used every other week beating and i also use it as a staff but it needs a ferrule on the bottom, i am not sure if i want metal or rubber and i am not sure which one to buy as this site lists loads can you help me

Metal!

You'll have to shape the end of the stick for a tight fit. Buy a few sizes as its the postage that gets you anyway ;) (Actually its browsing the catalogue that hurts :D).

You can get them at game and country fairs too but they tend to be overpriced. A copper endpipe from B&Q works well as aa ferrule

i dont know inches so could you please tell me what size

Assuming you measured your stick in inches (12/16ths?), that's 3/4 inch. 25.4 mm/inch, so you're looking at a stick that's 19.05mm in diameter. I think you can figure the rest out on your own, assuming I understand what you've said. :D
 
at the moment i pretty much have my kit list sorted there is just a few more bits that i need, but the only clothing i have is my m65 coat and 3 wooly pullys i would like some trousers and some green fleeces so has anyone got any links to some or know of any good ones my budget is about £35 for each item of clothing
for the trousers i came across these what do you think
will they dry out fast or will they hold the water ?

I think they are the ones I got from S&A, but they don't look a thing like the picture. I am wearing mine now in fact and they are very durable, like a medium weight denim I suppose. If they got wet, they'd take longer to dry than issued lightweights, but I don't think it'd take too long. I think lightweights are the best trousers to wear to be quite honest with you, but I can't as it is part of my uniform and it wouldn't be worth the grief wearing them in my own time.
 
i think i will go with them because of the price but if they dont work out i will get some lightweights, spamel any suggestions on a fleece
leon
 
Fleeces, keep it cheap!! I have a fleece in black which cost me five euros. If it gets a hole in it, so what? It cost nothing and can be easily replaced. Also, if you are layering with them, you will stay warm!!
 
i see alot of fleeces are 100% polyester is this any good or shall i get a wool one
leon
 
ok thanks mate, i still have one more question my beating stick measures 12/16 what size ferrule shall i get for it
btw red i have your spatula finished but i wont send it untill i have your cartridge matchcase made, pictures to follow soon
