I recently made the long drive from Ohio down to Tifton, Georgia to attend one of Keith Rucker’s hand scraping classes, and in this video I take you along for the entire experience. Over several days we covered spotting, sharpening, scraping technique, precision measurement, and machine rebuilding concepts while hand scraping cast iron straight edges using traditional methods. This wasn’t my first exposure to scraping, but spending several full days immersed in the process gave me a much greater appreciation for the skill, patience, and consistency required to do it well. Along the way you’ll see demonstrations of power scraping and flaking with a Biax scraper, discussions on rebuilding machine tools, plenty of cast iron chips being made, and even a visit to the Georgia Museum of Agriculture where many of Keith’s earlier videos were filmed.
