Anyone here get into scraping? It’s a bit of a lost art. I have been doing flat work for a little bit, as shown in the photo. I started with a homemade ground HSS scraper, but currently have a 25mm wide Sandvik scraper, which is great for flat parts, but it is a bit bulky for small dovetails...

I recently pick up a 1-12” micrometer set with standards for my everyday “I don’t really care” use, so that I could save wear and tear on my nice Brown and Sharp micrometer I use for precision work. They appear to be older, and the grease in them seems to have dried out and hardened. Very...
