From the Host: May 2020 Scraping Class in Oswego NY.

As Richard King indicated in the post below, I will be hosting one of his five day hand scraping classes in my shop in Oswego, NY. The dates for the class are Wednesday May 20 through Sunday May 24.

The class will cover hand and power scraping using a Biax power scraper. we will discuss machine way alignment and how to achieve it. Plus Richard will demonstrate the application of Turcite plastic way material as well. Richard will have some hand and power scrapers for those who do not have one. You are encouraged to bring whatever you have for scraping tools as well. We will provide work tables and some clamps. If you can bring clamps and a small mill vise it would be beneficial. Also bring a project to work on. Many people bring a lathe cross or top slide. Some bring straight edge castings that need to be scraped in, what ever you can comfortably travel with and move by hand.

Please contact Richard directly for pricing, deposit, payment and registration details.

Lodging is on your own. The class spans the Saturday and Sunday of the memorial day weekend and Oswego is very popular for fishing so if you plan on attending, reserving a room early would be wise.

The shop is adjacent to the State University of New York at Oswego campus. Oswego is a small city so any hotel in town would be very convenient.

We will provide lunch for everyone each day of class.

Hope to see you all there.
Mark
