A trick I use to get uniform thickness is to get metal rods from the
hardware store. I get rods the depth of my counter. Two rods of each
thickness (1/8", 1/4", 1/2", etc.) then use a nice heavy marble rolling
pin.

You can use wooden dowels instead of metal but over time the wood will get
a little dented and crushed. I use the wooden dowels with my wood rolling
pin.
