Peeling the table to straighten...
If I hadn't seen the before and after dail readings I wouldn't have believed it.
A simple tap with a hammer and punch along the top of a mill table base takes a lot of the banana out of it...

Thanks for the video clip. Incredible that a few punches will bend it, he wasn't hitting it that hard either. He must have done a few of them to know where and how hard to hit!!! Wonder if that would work for a worn lathe bed?

Actually, peening is used to straighten lots of things - even hardenend steel items. It's my preferred way to get gibs straight, rather than scraping them straight, because the latter removes material. I'll still srape the flat, of course.
I've also seuccessfully used peening the get a slight bend out of an I-beam. It required some fairly heavy blows, but really successful. It puzzles peope who watch, because you seem to be hitting on the wrong side... intuitively... but it's quite easy to visualise the metal stretching on the side you are hitting.Cheers, Joe

Believe it or not, that is the first scraping video I have ever watched. Loved it. May even try scraping on the Hercus Mill one day. Thought peeling sounded a bit strange and should have been peening which I have heard of before.

Strange. I thought I'd written peening. My auto spell checker even tried to make it "preening" this time.
Perhaps a mod can fix.

Vintage lathe, milling machine, metal shaper, planer, surface grinder. Whatever.
I am seeking other students for a metal scraping class in Melbourne.
Google "melbourne scraping class" to see videos and comments on the previous ones. There have been 5 courses so far and I am looking to get the students together for a 6th course. Pretty much the demand for metal scraping in part of the world has been exhausted after 5 courses so the trainers have said if I get the numbers they'll run a 6th course.
I'm not the trainer - I am aiming to be a student and learn this craft. I have some old machine tools I am restoring (1941 South Bend 10L lathe, 1928 Brown and Sharpe Surface Grinder, 1950's Alba 10" shaper) and they could do with some love on the sliding ways and alignment.
The course is an entire weekend. Lunch provided. Cost is an estimated $500 - though if the student numbers support it, it may be less - but budget $500.
There is no date set as yet. When there is enough interest to run a course a date will be firmed up. Hopefully 2017 will see it done. I already have a fair number of other students interested but need more.
The course assumes no previous experience. I have no scraping experience.
So, if you want to learn scraping to start restoring those old ways on your lathe or mill or grinder contact me here with your basic contact info - name and email and I'll get you on my list. I'm not taking any payments - this is not a credit card scam.

During one of the videos that came from Keith Rucker's (YouTube) scraping class it was mentioned that the yellow die cuts the reflection/glare from the bare metal and so makes the blue easier to see.
Those videos were my first. A number of YouTube creators attended this class and produced videos.
