I think even Eric can do better than this...I lightened it to show the file marks, emery cloth scratches, gouges, uneven width of clamp...Sorry Eric...

I'm thinking now, from the crude look of the work, that the single knurl cut is from a misaligned knurling tool - only one roller cutting...(Well, displacing the metal actually)...I'm basing that on some of my own mistakes...But I learn, eventually...

By the time I'm 120, I'll have this work down pat...
