HOME MADE GOLF CLUB RULER AND OTHER TOOLS

Learn how to make your own golf club ruler, ferrule installer, and ram rod and save money doing it.

I misstated the size on the metal rod. It's actually 1/4 inch, not 1/8. Sorry!

As an older retired guy on a fixed income, DIY is the way to go for me. I have been a DIY guy for many years, but now even more so than ever. Great video and thank you for sharing how you made your home made tools!

MADE A MISTAKE. The metal rod I used for the ram rod is 1/4 inch, not 1/8. 3/8 inch would also work though.

Great video. A tip on the strap hinge if it swings too freely. Take the pin out and put a small bend in the pin with a hammer. Have done this many times on door hinges to help keep older doors in place and not swinging freely. Doesn’t take much.

Great tip on making the ruler with the gate hinge. As a tip for folks, if the hinge is swinging too loose, you can always try to squash it out of shape a little with some heavy duty pliers or a hammer with it protected with a towel or the like to prevent gashes (before you glue it).

You can also make a similar ruler with a long board, some stick-on measuring tape applied (I prefer Starrett or Komelon for quality) and use a wood block cut with a miter saw on one end. Extra cheap is inscribing the needed measurements yourself with an accurate ruler on the wood. In the eyes of a woodworker, so many options! :)

Great video! I searched through all of your earlier videos because I saw this ruler on your channel but could not find it. Thanks, now I have it!

Terrific advice. If I lived anywhere near you I would definitely give you my business as you seem to be a very decent chap.
Even though I love to learn to do these things myself. I also live a little too far, in the U.K. I think its great that you pass on all this advice, at no cost, to help the rest of us to learn and enjoy the knowledge you have. Thank you so much.

I am an engineer this is exactly what I would do. Often what you make will be better than what you can buy.  
I built my own head puller, for my ramrod I used threaded 5mm Stainless studding, I build my own measuring tool very similar yo yours. Good job.

I use a hairdryer to warm the ferule up if it's a tight fit on the shaft, makes it super easy to seat the ferule.

Watching your videos on 1.5x speed = watching MORE of your videos!

Read all the comments, can't believe I'm the first person to laugh at "ramrod" and mention the cult classic Super Troopers... car ramrod. Lmao. Now I need to go watch it hahaha EDIT Also great video, need to make one of those rulers

Steel paint trays work great to catch grip solvent.

I built my ruler yesterday. Thanks. Found out my new (used) driver is an inch shorter then my previous driver.

I have no ferule issues as I just warm them first with hot water.

I was given a fancy adjustable club ruler, but the tray where the club head rests has a bend in it. I could never get an accurate length. I’m buying a strap hinge to rebuild it! 👍🏼

I use a socket piece as a ferrul installer haha and a rubber mallet

Great video. I built a ruler similar to what was suggested here. Works well, However, ended up with something like an eighth of an inch discrepancy with what was measured vs. what was real. ended up as a result of (I believe) the gap that was created when moving the hinge from 90 degrees to 60 degrees or whatever. just a little bit extra gap throwing the true measurement off.
