Just letting everyone know I am cutting way back on my classes in 2022. I hope to only teach small 1 to 4 student classes in my home shop in Cottage Grove Minnesota. I have been asked to travel to Salt Lake City and Springfield VT to teach a class there too, but I may have to say no as traveling is difficult now.

What sorts of classes would be covered? Basic scraping, or machine rebuilding? How long do they typically run?

I have a small import mill-dill (RF-29 type) that I would really love to dial in for small precision work. (I know only about enough to be dangerous, but do have a pretty good understanding of the concepts involved.)

Class Outline:

I posted class outline info inside my forum at the top - Ricard King Scraping -.

You can bring parts of your Rung Fu, but it would be difficult for you to complete it in the class. I would suggest you send the table, or saddle and base to a grind shop or mill the surfaces prior to the class. RF's are notorious for being "rough" and not very accurately machined from the factory.
