I will be offering another Basic Hand Scraping Class at my shop in Tifton, GA on July 24-26. Participants will learn to hand scrape surfaces flat, scrape in an 18" Straight Edge to keep (provided), and learn some basics in machine rebuilding. If you are interested in participating, please send me a private message, including your email address, and I will forward detailed information about the class.
