Thanks Dick,
is this because the tenon needs to be the same size on any shaft so
having a narrow ferrule means the walls must be thin?
 i understand how thin a ferrule would be when turned down from 13mm
to 11.5mm. But his shaft was made to be 11.5mm and not 'turned down'
to 11.5mm.  Is it possible the tenon is smaller having been built to
accomodate the skinny ferrule (possibly giving me room for my not too
thin, light weight ferrule)?

I'm hoping there's something i can do without losing length.
darren.
