To the home engineer,
It's nice when things work out like this, I too have had a couple of odds and ends in my tool box or on the bench that spent years sitting there till I found a use for them that they ether were not intended for or for a once or twice in a life time use for. Currently I am looking at videos on scrping lathe beds I find in interesting and satisfing for some odd reason (maybe I understand it now at age 65) anyway when I was a young man in my early 20's I aquired a hand scrapper with a carbide cutter brazed to the tip, it sat in my tool box for 40+ years till I dusted it off recently to have a go at scraping my self. Will be interested in what else you come across and find a use for. in the mean time best regards.
Stan.
