In the factory of Sodick in Bangkok guideways for machines are getting scraped. This results in a higher accuracy
More pictures of my visit to Sodick in Bangkok you will find on the website of Metaal Magazine:
I love winter. ;)
I'm a 3-season kinda guy.
Sleet and snow on the windshield...
I'm trying to find the beauty in it!

Famous flight of Texians to escape Santa Anna's invading Mexican army. Tales of the Alamo butchery on March 6, 1836, and the continuing retreat of Gen. Sam Houston's army prompted colonists to abandon homes and property and seek refuge in east Texas.
Families left beds unmade, breakfast uneaten, and ran for their lives, traveling in wagons, carts, sleds, on foot, or by horseback, dropping gear as they went.
Many Liberty Countians remained at home until mid-April, helping refugees struggle toward the Sabine in order to cross to safety in the United States. Terrible hardships plagued the runaways trying to ferry the swollen Trinity River. In rain-soaked camps many children died of measles and other ills. Wading through flooded bottomlands, the wayfarers came with relief to the prairie and the Samaritans in Liberty.
After resting a few days, tending the sick, and burying the dead, most of the wanderers moved on toward Louisiana. East of Liberty, stragglers heard the cannonading at the Battle San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. Fearing that Santa Anna's legions had whipped the ragged Texian forces, they hurried on, but shortly heard joyful news: "Turn back, turn back". Freedom had been won for them by Sam Houston's army.

kodak color plus 200, double exposed, redscaled, self developed in black and white developer (kodak tmax dev) and mistakenly run under a very, very hot tap, dried and taken to Jessops for a big damn scannning.
there was steam coming out of the developing tank :)
almost boiled
do these count as xpro?
Now machined and starting to blue up for the initial scraping.
Home brewed scraper, using a square carbide insert. This turned out to be the wrong grade of carbide, so doesn't hold an edge very well, leading to frequent re-lapping.
A different view of the home made straight edge, I later used a wider hand scraped plate, to better san the recess in the casting, and used the one shown just for the last bit under the dovetail, and the actual dovetail itself..
I guess the biggest thing that I see in this photos is persistence. It's evident on both sides of the war. The ice clings to everything, desperate to stay rooted. It doesn't want to move. It has nowhere to be but where it is. Yet, we scrape away at the ice and snow to get a clearer vision of what is ahead because it is required. No matter what it takes, we continue to chip away at the cold mass. In the end, we drive away to our destination and the ice is left laying on the ground.
I think the same can be said about friendship. Two have a bond. They cling to each other as friends. At some point, one of them wants something else....something new. Slowly but surely, one chip at a time, that friend removes themselves from the group. It could very well be that the one friend was holding the other back from their dreams. In the end, after all of the hacking and chipping, you end up with a broken relationship where one person is left alone, longing for the day that their friend comes back. Maybe next winter. Maybe never.
Wild turkeys will scrape the leaf litter to find insects and nuts. Here are some examples of scrapes I found associated with some turkey scat in my other photos.
Machining the two reference surfaces on the little Dore Westbury, as I didn't feel like scraping a 15 thou taper off one surface, and 25 off the other.
The advantage of this round column mill, is that you can swing the head when there isn't enough table travel to complete the machining traverse in one go.

As I was walking, I noticed the blue sky and this mighty tree with hardly a leaf. I took several shots and its like an amazing pattern etched on the sky.
Macroinvertebrate species, including mayfly and caddisfly larvae, are carefully removed from the plates.
Bark scraped from a fir trunk by the claws, exposing the inner bark, which shows tooth marks where an American Black Bear (Ursus americanus), scraped the inner bark (phloem) with its teeth in order to get nutrients after coming out of hibernation in spring, along the Iron Goat Trail near Stevens Pass, Mt. Baker – Snoqualmie National Forest, Cascade Mountains, Washington State, USA.
