Joe & All,
Does anyone have any idea what process Walt went through to make these ferrules?
What type of fabric did he use (fiberglass? carbon? weight? weave?)
What pattern did he layup?
Did he use a mold? Vaccuum bag?

I've been looking for websites that have some kind of info on how to make these ferrules. The best info I have so far came from model rocketry sites.
