Surface grinder restoration and scraping
<< < (7/9) > >>
Andrew Wildman:
In this latest episode I scrape the carriage (the bit between the knee and the table).  This is the most tricky of the alignment job on the grinder as I had to align a dovetail way to a double vee way.  Requires some thinking and some interesting measuring tooling.

Biggles:
I admire your stamina Andrew, that’s a lot of work you’re doing. Keep going and well done.  :nrocks:
Andrew Wildman:
Did you ever take something on and then realise it was a much bigger job than you had expected, but by that time your in too deep?  :doh:I was just going to tickle the ways into alignment but...... :Doh:
Pete.:

Several times but you seem to be coming through your trial by fire admirably. I like your systematic approach and clear no-frills commentary. Quite refreshing to not have to sit through a load of rambling rhetoric.
Andrew Wildman:
Thanks Pete,
Here is the final scraping video and the penultimate in the rebuild series:
