I started making these inch and a half to two inch couplers after your tutorial (THANX) and only will add that on the rare occasion I am off a bit, experiment with overwrapping the finished (too small) coupler. I find best result with a single butted joint overwrap with whichever paper thickness best fills the need, rather than multiwrapping thin paper. I have used everything from cash register remnants (ultra-thin) to cardstock (on a big oops). Single wrap means limiting glue needs and no ply failures.
