No need, either. Just chuck pretty much any material into a hand drill, and hold it against a belt sander. The PROCESS is self centering. Hardly any skill needed.

FWIW, a good source for Sasieni dots are plastic knitting needles. For some reason pastel colors are popular for them, and several shades of blue are readily available. Among them is "Sasieni blue". 8)
Belt sander? What’s a belt sander? We (the Illustrious Guild of Pipe Butchers) don’t need no steenkin’ belt sanders!
