Daryl Smith
My friends call me Daryl and I have been a machine builder, rebuilder and CNC service tech since the 1980's. I love what I do and love teaching others. That is what this channel's content will be about. Passing on what has been taught to me by others, and through my own experiences.
I am pretty much retired these days, but I still scrape every day. If you are interested in scraping tools or information, drop me an email to [email protected] and I will send you a bunch of scraping and rebuilding information. I have hand scrapers, Biax scrapers and flakers, Canode blue spotting ink, red lead contrast, and too many camelback straightedges. I will sell the camelbacks for what I paid for them, and not making a profit here, just trying to help out. I paid $10 per inch for the camelbacks without dovetails, and $15 per inch for camelbacks that have a dovetail. I have camelbacks w/o dovetails from 12" to 72" and with dovetails from 18" to 48". I will ship with a Venmo payment.
