251392 JAMES THOMPSON <oldmillrat@m...> 2014‑10‑26 Bearing scraper
Went to an estate sale this morning, and found a Goodell-Pratt bearing scraper
in salvageable condition. Don’t need any more bering scrapers, but just couldn’t
leave it behind for a dollar.

Decided to prep it correctly so y’all can see what such a beast looks like. Few
people have ever seen a correctly prepared bearing scraper. I included 2
pictures of the Hirsch tool I found last week, which several people insisted is
a bearing scraper. A quick comparison should dispel any notion that the Hirsch
tool is a bearing scraper.

If you lay a nicely prepared scraper on your arm and drag it sideways you will
shave hair. That’s how you know it’s right.
