To get 1/16” post, I just sand the edges of 1/16” sq wood with a sanding block.
Strictly speaking, sanding blockS, #240-#320 or so. I use Great Planes Easy-Touch Hand Sander 5.5” on a cutting mat.
No special technique needed.
Good flying, Aki
>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.
