I think I'll try an HDR image.

The one I'm modeling after is only highly polished on the contact surface, the

I've looked at several designs in cataloges from work and some are like that but

One turn moves 0.025, and .0001 is read on the scale going out of view.

I am happy about the wood, unfortunatly I think it's better that my model, witch
