Rebuilding Class in Austria next month / Oct 2019

I thought I would share some photo's or the October Classes sponsored by BIAX the power scraper makers, I taught in Austria this past October. I Taught 3 weeks of classes at Stefan and Franz Luftinger inside the company MASCHRATUR OG in the town of Laakirchen. There is a beautiful lake near there where I stayed at a resort 2 of the 3 weeks. Weeks one and three was for the basic students who had never scraped before and week 2 was for advanced students who had taken one of my classes I had taught in Germany and Austria over the past 5 years. We had full classes each week. One student came from India and another from the Ukraine. Starting in 2020 the Luftinger brothers will be taking over the classes as they are also Journeymen Machine Rebuilders who they Apprenticed under their Father. They also went to University and are Engineers. They're main business is building special machine tools and rebuild precision machine tools. It's time for me to retire to teaching in Europe as I got another blood clot over there and the Doctors tell me no more long flights.
Photo's L to R - inside the shop note how they mount their big straight-edges up on the wall; Franz demonstrating how to check a lathe saddle top ways on a surface plate, note it is setting on 3 points; Franz scraped 60 points for fun on a straight-edge they have; another class practicing and a drawer full of straight-edges,note they have 2 King-Way straight-edges.
