I'm starting to work toward rebuilding my 1947 Index model 40 milling machine, and there's a lot of work I have to do to get ready for that. This is the first video in a series I'm calling "Road to a Rebuild" detailing the process of tooling up for that. The first thing I need is a good hand scraper for hand scraping the ways, and as usual, I made one out of some interesting scrap metal- a rusted out sled runner.

I promise I'll still mostly make stuff out of rusty junk and not just buy shiny things with your money.
