I thought you made those with a lathe. Belt sander? How do you keep the roundness uniform?

well,I don't have space for a lathe and at work there is an old monster belt sander that they don't use.I use that and it works very well.
all one needs is a very sharp eye,which I have and the technique to spin the wood as it's shaving off the wood and it works great.
this sander is not a small one it is big and is bolted to the floor,the belt is 14 inches wide and about 12 inches tall.
once I get the shape I am after I smooth the final shape with sandpaper by hand[80 grit],I can feel the high spots[I mark them with a sharpie] which are few then I smooth it further with 200 grit.
sandpaper.
what you see here is about 99% perfect.

That yellow shading looks just like bunker when they are all gathered together. Nice job.
