   Where did you get that respirator? I’ve seen you use it a number of times.
   Thanks

   All that would do for me is give the cylinder a consistent taper.

     I agree. Inconsistent pressure along the length will produce a tapered rolling pin. Maybe that works for pie crusts.

   That was explained well. Lets take it a step further by asking instead of it being a cylinder that is round what would be the best way of sanding it if it was eliptical
