sheet steel finishing and partial engine turning?!
i'd like to apply the engine turned, swirly effect to some steel sheet
and was wondering a few things. i ran across http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~eamonn/et/items.gif (middle item) and noticed the turning seems to just STOP at a really nice edge. anyone know how to do this? also, say i actually manage to accomplish this, with un-turned bands of plain steel on the sides. what can i do to shine up the finish on the sides to change them from dullish dark grey to a slightly brighter silvery (similar to the overall color of the swirls) ?? any help and tips on finishing is MUCH appreciated! thanks! handsome greg |
