: Thanks Tom. Curious how you secure the second side of the paddle into the
: ferrule so that it can be removed and replaced each time.

The plastic tape in the pic is used to secure the ferrule on both sides. That
way, the ferrule isn't glued so removal is easy and the folded paddle is 4"
shorter for transport. In addition, the tape keeps all water out so there is no swelling of the wood.

Simple is as simple does :)
