How taper wood closet pole for sailboat yard?
I’d like to taper the ends of a 1.5″ closet pole to make the yard for a small sailboat. I’m looking for easy way(s) to turn the pole so I can use belt sander belting to do the tapering.I’ve thought of using 2″ PVC pipe sections as journals and driving the rod with a belt powered by a small motor. (I do not need to taper the center so the drive can go there…or at either end). I’m open to better ideas.
