I agree. I re-did the entire deck on my 35-yr-old Fireball that way and this
method is slick and quick. 

HOWEVER: 2 warnings.  #1: stop and sharpen your scraper FREQUENTLY. You'll
more than save the time spent sharpening when you go back to work.

#2 - Round off the corners of your scraper blade slightly. You do NOT want
to run the risk of digging in a very sharp corner on an otherwise flat
blade. You can end up with a scraped job that looks a bit like a zebra,
particularly if you're scraping over a stained piece of wood.  (Ask me how I
know!)
