Beautiful work!  This is a 'keeper' image for me, going into my collection.

I was wondering if you had previously tried the 'quilted' pattern (as turned
into a function, for use with the HF_Cylinder macro in shapes.inc)? That would
seem to be an alternate method to create a knurling effect on a cylinder,
although I haven't tried it myself.
