Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sandpaper of increasing fineness. And patience. Lots of patience.

How did you hold the items securely while sanding them down? Standard hand vices or some kind of custom jigs?

Not my project, but embedding the part in a plug of epoxy would make it easier to handle.

Circuits involving capacitors and inductors lead you to differential and integral equations, if you want to know the time dependence of the voltages and currents in the circuits.
