    Aluminum surface finish from needle scaler

    Got finished needle scaling my mower deck for some repairs, and thought I'd play around with a block of aluminum before I put it away. I'd done this a long time ago on a machined case cover protector I made for a motorcycle, but always wanted to play around with it again and experiment more...

    My swan song
