Nice clean install. This is pretty much how I settled on doing ferrules as well. The only thing I would add is that IMO live tooling adds a certain degree of risk. So I only use live tooling for the threading only. You can turn all your diameters with single point tooling. A good sharp positive rake tool works very well. The other consideration from an engineering stand point is at the base of a tennon it helps to have a small radius. Sharp corners are fracture points. So adding the radius I believe helps. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for your comments. Single point work well and I still use them. However, when set up properly and doing production work such as making multiple ferrules or joint / butt caps, live tooling is much quicker and cleaner. There is always risk working around machinery and one should be careful. If you are going to leave a radius, you have to additionaly compensate with an opposite chamfer.

Great Video! Couple questions: 1. Could you share how you made your router mount (holder) for you lathe? 2. How do you know how deep to cut the threads? 3. How do you get a really sharp shoulder where the shaft and ferrule meet? Thank you!

I made my router mount from a piece of aluminum pipe, a couple of clamps, and welded a 1/2 inch aluminum flat piece of material so it could be held by the QR tool holder. Depths vary based on minor and major diameter for your work piece. There are charts you can Google. But for 16 and 18tpi, .0625" depth works well. My router bit has a 90-degree shoulder. If I am using static tooling, I use carbide cutters with an 88-degree angle to ensure I can get a sharp shoulder. Regardless, make sure you chamfer your joint collar or ferrule.
Thanks Ed.
