Thanks!
I also have trouble making my round posts consistent in diameter. Is there an easier way to do this besides rolling between sanding blocks? I've thought of using a drawplate, similar to this:
http://www.micromark.com/jewelers-draw-plate,6942.html (which I don't have). I may try square posts using 1/16" sq brass tubing as a mandrel for the paper tubes. I know I can cut and shape consistent square posts.

Thanks for posting this, Bill. Just what I needed to make a fiddly job (for me) a lot easier.
