BB ... the blanks from H&H , unless you specify otherwise, will have the ferrules included. They can be purchased as a two piece blank, or a two piece with extra tip. I haven't purchased ferrules from any other source, but would imagine, at a quick glance, that you'e probably have to get two set of ferrules. <but what do I know!!! > If you can line stuff up straight, and take your time, I don't see that you'd have any problem setting ferrules. I think, somewhere in my files, I still have the ferules setting instruction John Scott sent to me. If you decide (when you decide??) to order the blank, I'll find them (instructions) and send them on to you.
