Well, I searched the archives, and it appears I missed out on a great group buy on that book about reconditioning machine tools.
For those of you who bought the book, and done some hand scraping, can you post some pics of your work? It is a skill I really want to learn.
Now I understand it is for getting surfaces really flat. So how about the checkering that was done on south bend lathes, and some bridgeports? Is that another type of scraping? Or is that the natural look of scrape marks?
I have an urge to scrape some steel plate, perhaps one day use it to restore lathe beds.
