How to remove peeling paint on porch overhang most effectively?

I am repainting exterior of my ranch house which was built in 1950's.

The front porch overhang has a lot of peeling paints. I plan to

  1. scrap off loose/peeling paint
  2. sand with random orbit sander
  3. spot prime with water based primer (Sherwin-William)
  4. two coat of Sherwin-William Duration gloss paint

However, I can't get a good handle on scrapping off loose paint.

I am using a 5in1 tool which is not effective.
I don't want to use chemical stripper.
I googled but only find instruction and video on using paint scrapper on vertical walls, not sure whether that will work on overhead wood planks.

Any one has advice or similar experiences?

Many thanks!
