Hello Klowns,
Some time ago I did an article on creating engine turned surfaces for model cars. I thought you might like to see how this can be accomplished.
I have heard some people say they just use an ink eraser and go at it by hand. I tried that, but the pattern was not as precise the 1:1 pattern I wanted to replicate. I built a jig that accommodates different size circles. Once you build it, you don't have to build it again.
Here is a tutorial link:

Here is what you should get
Good luck!
