If you make the sanding disk, consider making something to support the piece you are sanding. Without a steady rest, agressive sandpaper can pull the piece right out of your hand.

I dont have a sanding disk to photograph right now, I keep using them for jam chucks in bowl turning.

Motorfish, to make a drum sander, turn a cylinder on the lathe to the diameter you want, then while it is still in the lathe (not spinning), wrap adhesive sand paper around it. Now you have a drum sander. Just make sure the drum is tight between the centers.
