[Richard King]

I am taking a lot of pictures of This scraping class . We have 3 students: Will who is a Practical Machinist Member who is from Prince Rupert BC, Canada, Tyler who is from Kentucky and Garth who is from Mpls, MN.
Tyler bought a Martin Model 18" camelback SE and 2 angle blocks, Will has a Foster 36" camelback and a set of Foster Parallels and Garth is working on 2 angle blocks and a Jewelers lathe.
Here are some pictures of their work.

Will showing off his work and how he mounted the Foster SE so he could scrape the angle side. Tyler Ringing or Vibration stress relieving his Martin SE, Garth hand scraping his angle block - he said he can't afford a Biax so he has perfected 40 PPI hand scraping, close up of Garths angle block, Tyler showing off his Martin SE he first scraped to 20 PPI with 30% POP (percentage of points), and we used a Spencer Webb diamond ground precision stone to precision wet stone it to 50% POP, Tyler discovering you press a scraper down 8 pounds pressure to get the proper depth of the scrape mark, Tyler test, Garth and Will watching the scale test

These 3 guys are learning how to scrape really fast. These 3 or 4 student classes are working good as the students get a lot more 1 on 1 instruction. My next class in June 8 - 12. 2023. We have 1 spot sold and I need 2 to 3 more students. Message me or Email me for info. [email protected] - I will post more pictures tonight and tomorrow, This is a 5 day weekend class - Thursday - Monday so the students don't have to take of a whole week on a Monday - Friday class. I can also travel to a large company if you have 8 or 15 students. I am a Journeyman Machine Tool Rebuilder with over 55 years of experience. You can several video's on my classes on You Tube. Search "Richard King Scraping" . Thanks

Bertha! https://flic.kr/p/2ovS1gp
Dennis's 36" consumed most of my attention. It's getting close, couple of passes left. Air Canada lost my luggage so hopefully it comes back in one piece.





I did not get many other pictures related to scraping. Haha here is Rich with a couple of his dogs.



It was a great time!

Thanks Will. Bertha is my Vintage Anderson Power Scraper I bought from a PM member a few years ago. It's on page 14 & 15 of the Connelly book Machine Tool Reconditioning.
The dogs are Toy Schnauzers - special color - tan.
I hope it is your SE and suitcases are found, In all my years 40+ (knock on wood) I've never lost any luggage. It was misplaced but I got it a few days later. They delivered it to me.
Here is your Foster SE finished and Garth and Tyler checking squareness of Tyler's angle block.

The SE was 40 PPI and 50 POP a work of art
