[Hammarlund] strong alignment tools needed

[rbethman]

I use Chinese chopsticks made of bamboo.  I also have a rotary wood 
carver that makes short work of the job.  It is a variable speed job 
made by Foredom.

You might check around and see if there are any wood carvers around.  It 
is one of my OTHER hobbies.
