adding some pics. had about 2 hours today while the kiddos were napping. made some drums, took photos.

wrap the dowel. i used a 1/2 inch dowel. i use the blue painters tape and it has been working well. this is a 2 inch roll, but i cut it into thirds. i get a better overlap and more tape support. be sure to overlap the tape. otherwise the seam will be weak when it is on the dremel drum.

next the sandpaper. do not overlap this. in fact i leave a microgap. this insures that all parts of the sandpaper touch tape.

the finished role.

removing the dowel. just twist and it comes out. again, i sanded my dowel down to 320. much smoother than when i bought it.

cutting the drums. i cut them about 1/2 inch long, maybe a hair longer. out of each 11 inch strip, i average 7 drums. this is 3 strips worth.

i bag them with markings. clockwise from top left, 600, 800, 1500.
