Yep, makes sense, thanks. Lathe is a coronet elf, I could use the tail stock empty and do it that way. I have pen drilling jaws for my Sorby chuck that I can't use to drill due to the "slop" in the tailstock.

Actually, thinking about it, glue a piece of sandpaper to a scrap, mount the blank in the drilling jaws and job's a goodun!! Even easier than making the sleeve. :)

Loving this community, thanks guys!
