British spelling of the process of attaching a ferrule or metal band to reinforce something.
British English variant of 'ferreling,' using the double-'l' spelling convention before the '-ing' suffix (similar to 'travelling' vs. American 'traveling').
British English tends to preserve the doubled consonant through all forms of a word, which is why 'ferrel' becomes 'ferrelling,' giving the language a more consistent visual weight even though pronunciation stays the same.
