Scraping on the cross slide

I launched into the scraping project tonight on the cross slide bottom. It definitely had quite a bit of wear on it. I should have taken pictures when I started of the blue in only a small section of one side and in the middle of the other. After about a zillion passes, it's all pretty flat, but I will have to do more passes to get the bearing points distributed nicely. It got late and I had to quit for the night. This picture has some blue on it so you can see some of the spots. I'm having trouble getting the blue to transfer brightly. Instead it looks very light and is hard to see. I'm going to have to get a good fluorescent light to work on this more.
