Paragraph 15. In shop work it is sometimes necessary to make a cylinder without the use of a turning lathe. This is done with a plane and sandpaper. After all plane marks have been removed as nearly as possible with a wood file, then the cylinder is ready for sandpapering. To sandpaper a cylinder, fasten it in the vise so that it extends beyond the end of the bench, as shown in figure 32, then with a long piece of sandpaper cut in a strip of any convenient width, sandpaper the cylinder, making it perfectly round. The sandpaper should be grasped near the ends and then pulled back and forth over the cylinder very much like a belt would move around a wheel. By turning the cylinder frequently and continuing this process on all sides it can be made almost perfectly round.
