[Public-List] Smooth Bronze Winches

[Lawrence Morris]

Jonathan is on the right track.  the term to use is knurled.  This  
basically texturizing the drum surface without the jagged edges of a  
grinding wheel or wire brush.  i have done this a couple of times.   
you need to request that it be a very light pass with the knurling  
wheel.  In the case a little goes a long way.

If you go to a machine chop and asked them to knurl the drum surface,  
they will know what you are requesting.  If they don't find another  
machine shop.
