How do you install a WA handle

Was thinking for wrapping the handle and dipping in for a few minutes.Handle body, dowel, and ferrule.Rotating the dowel as required.What are the steps in replacing a tool handle?Next i mark out and drill the rod holes in the spacer.

We often need to change the handle for our japanese knives, sometimes is to replace an old handle and sometimes is to just get a better one.we previously des.Saw off the old handle.The reason this process for making a wa handle is so simple to follow is because the block is squared up and then tapered before any of the corners are cut off.I was recommended using a heat gun to soften the glue but i don't have one.So the first step is to square up the handle block.

The handle is glued, not with epoxy.The tang slot in the dowel will be paired down with a chisel to better fit the tang.
