Yep,Thanks John and Bill. I made a simple device like John's last night and got some nice round posts. I placed a 1/16" music wire piece down into the space between the blocks until I felt resistance and made a mark at that point. After sanding the posts down to the mark I measure 0.063" within 0.001". Pretty good I'd say! I tried not to use good TanII for the rubber band tensioner!

Well Tony there's your answer about how to make wing posts. Once again - a
method I'd never heard of.

Quite right Tony, a wing post rounder
offer. Skilled builders just use a vee of sandpaper in their fingers but
the less dexterous of us, such as me, need all the help I can get. The device
is not foolproof, the important thing is not to let the post get too deep into
the thin end of the vee where it will jamb and break. I avoid this by
holding the thing as in the photograph with a finger either side governing the
depth at which the post sits in the vee. I also take off the corners of
the square post with a sharp blade before starting on the sanding. When
sanding I combine a rotary twiddle with the fingers and a slow in and out
longitudinal movement.
