Let the one-piece screw era begin.  This gorgeous stainless steel screw is exquisitely finished.  The sides of the screw include elegant curves that taper thin toward the middle.  The crown is beautifully pocketed.  

When I worked in the machine shop we had a job we ran for a couple years making stainless steel impellers for pumps. They weren't much bigger than these screws. I ran two big CNC lathes each running one half of the operation. I made thousands of impellers. Stainless steel is a challenge to machine. Its tough and stringy. It doesnt chip, it tangles in the tooling and the coolant lines. You have to stay on your toes.

That experience gives me a special appreciation for these screws. They didn't come easy and they will last forever. These are 1000 year screws.
