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.
