I have a set of iron heads which are designed to be used without
ferrules.
They must be coned no matter which method you choose. Ferrules for barrel hosels are available however, you can take your regular ferrule and place it on a shaft tip section, heat the hosel top and push the heated hosel against the ferrule bottom while turning the head. This will mold the ferrule top around the barrel portion of the hosel. Do them one at a time and keep the ferrules matched to the head they are molded to. After assembly you will turn down the ugly flared portion of the ferrule to the hosel and have a perfect fit. Done this way you have the added strength and better appearance of a ferrule.
