I just may have to start paying rent, I post so many questions!!!! Anyway here goes another....

When measuring out my guide placement on my 4 piece blank, I noticed a couple of guides are close to the female end of the sleeve type ferrule. I know you have to do some reinforcement wraps over the ferules, but my questions are these...

1: if the guide is close to the ferrule, can you use the reinforcing wraps to cover one side of the guide that is situated adjacent to the ferrule and do regular wraps on the other side, or would it be better to move the guide a little further up or down the blank away from the ferrule and do normal wraps.

2: what is a sufficient number or amount of wraps to reinforce each sleeve type ferrule? I've mostly read about an inch seems to work

The dumb questions abound! LOL
