I'm buying some irons on ebay and they're a great deal, but they have ugly orange ferrules, and one of the clubs is even missing one. I have a blow torch and some knowledge on how to reshaft a club, but I've never done it before. Is it ok to take off the shaft by just pulling it apart with my hands? It's a steel shaft so it doesnt look like I could do any harm.

You won't hurt a steel shaft.  I just heat with a heat gun (torch works too but careful not to get it too hot) and pull the clubhead off with a work glove.

definitely work with a glove. i just reshafted my irons and a piece of epoxy shot out and landed on my finger and left a damn good burn.

You are best off with a vice. Something to hold the club while you have the torch on it. If it is steel shaft you can absolutely get the head off without a puller. Once the club gets hot enough you can pull it off with a glove.

If graphite, if you care about the shaft, you will need a puller.

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
