Dangeruss's old splash page

The Image
How can I make this cool graphic?
I'v asked Dangeruss how he did it but he couldn't realy remember and so he wasn't specific about the way of making it.
Help?

The basic of this image is a complex circular metallic gradient - off the top of my head I think this is KPT3. This has been duplicated and slighly altered in all the sections and bolts.

A lot of the success of this image is really down to the subtlty of the glows,positioning, drop shadows etc. Really down to making good decisions in these areas.

Actualy it doesn't use KPT 3, he said he used the standard features of Photoshop 6

This is what his E-mail said:

Basically it's a custom radial gradient with some hand painting to soften
the 'seam' where the gradient begins and ends. Then I made a layer with some
noise filter run on it followed by a radial blur. this was dropped in
opacity and I probably changed the layer blending mode to multiply. This
gave it the "spun metal" metal look. The embossing was done with Photoshop's
layer effects. Additional details such as the type and fasteners were
created on separate layes with layer effects applied.


If you can figure out what he said and translate it into a photoshop tutorial I think we would wall be pleased.
