What is the easiest way to get the tip tops off the blanks and also the ferrules off the blank?

Heat them with a torch. Grab a hold of the tip top with a pair of pliers, (have torch lit) and hold tip over flame for a 1/2 second or so, while pulling on it. Same with ferrules, actually you could use a lighter or match as well. If your talking about a bamboo rod, the ferrules may be pinned. if so, set the pin a little deeper so as the ferrule can come off. Then with the ferrule off, you can take the pin out. I usually doesn't take much heat to loosen the old glue ...

Feel free to email me if needed.
