Hey, Fellas, I need an engine turned panel about a foot square, and haven't been able to locate one. I can take a larger piece if one's available, but need some help finding one. Can anyone help? Vendor maybe? Appreciate your assistance.

I did a little stainless gauge panel in my 34 jalopy. Not quite as nice as Petes photo above, but good enough for me. I used a wooden dowel, cut a circle in some fine sand paper with a hole punch, and glued it on. Lay out your pattern with square lines and a fine felt tip pen. I used a mill, but a common drill press would work if you clamp a guide on the table to keep you square. Spray WD 40 as you go to keep the sandpaper from plugging up. Practice on a junk piece to know how long to burn it in, and how much pressure to apply. My piece should have been burned in a bit more...but Im ok with it. Looks better in person than the photo. As said, there are lots of videos on it.

My photo shows the experiment of 2 different size wire brushes. I think I went with the sand paper in the end.

Like cas3 said, drill press and a guide clamped down. Nothing like getting almost done and making a mark slightly off the line. A mill would be great if ya got one.
 
I did some for my daughter’s stroller. I used an elevator bolt with a sanding disc glued to it. This was used with a drill press. I was happy with it.
 
I found some vinyl sheet off Epay that was cheap, quick and looks great.
You may be able to source a big sheet for your purpose

I got mine some years ago, but a quick Ebay search turned up this:

eBay item number:266827038660

Might try a Google search for engine turned vinyl sheet for a wider search
