Ed, I was perusing the old thread referenced regarding this subject and noticed your mentioning of a automotive machining finish to aluminum. There used to be a guy nearby in these parts (St Michaels, MD, I believe), who did "Damascening" (sp?), or "machine turning", as some used to call it, on vintage speedboat ("GarWoods", "Chris Crafts") and 1930's-era expensive automobile (Packards, Duesenbergs -- you know, the ones with the running boards, side-mount spare wheels, distinctive horn ornaments, etc) metal dashboards. Is this what you were referring to ?
