    Are you getting the most out of your round nose scraper? Well, if you're using these three secret hacks with your round nose scraper you already know how nice this tool can be.
    Scraping is not usually the best way to clean up or finish a wood bowl surface when turning, but with the right approach, you can make some very delicate and refined cuts while turning on the inside of a wooden bowl using the round nose scraper.

    After an eternity in not getting the idea of decently scraping, I eventually did this by instinct last Sunday.
    I was finishing the outside of a carob bowl, that had whatever interlocking grain.
    I got tiny-mini shavings… the tiniest I have aver seen.
    That was a revelation!

    I had read about negative rake scrapers and was considering grinding one of my scrapers to a negative rake. I happened to be watching a Cap'n Eddy video about that time and the Cap'n mentioned that if you lifted the handle of your scraper that was the same as a negative rake scraper. So I never made a negative rake scraper. I just used my regular scraper with the handle up when I wanted a good smooth cut.

    as an ongoing flat woodworker, yes, pray for me (I am AC/DC), it is interesting that using a burnishing tool on a turning scraper follows the same concept and results as raising a burr on a flat scraper with a burnishing tool on standard woodworking.

      You're right, pretty cool. Did you see that pile of fluffy shavings the burr made? ;) Happy Turning!

    Thank you Kent. Interesting, raising the edge is a cabinet scraper regular technique. I have the scrapers and the edge raiser, so I am set to go.
    The other thing is removing the irregular ridges. I swivel the scraper to produce a more level and even sweep for the curve.
    Ah well practice makes perfect - eventually. Luckily I am not trying to make a living as a turner.

  • @danielgeiger7739
    @danielgeiger7739 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The main point of a negative rake scraper, IMHO, is better visibility and access/maneuverability in inside. By raising rest, you obscure more of the inside. Keeping rest lower makes movements easier, and I see more easily that I am doing. Since getting a Carter & sons - rake scraper, the flat one has not seen any use. Well, it's a better tool with M42 steel, so there's that as well. Thinking of it, I should just grind the old one down. and make something custom with - rake.
    cleaner cuts in general. With punky wood, sometimes the scraper will be saving the day, when cutting with gouges gets hang ups. I could use shear scraping with gouge, but it seems a bit of a waste of a good edge. Rather use a scraper then.
    Nice videos!

    • @TurnAWoodBowl
      @TurnAWoodBowl  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for sharing. That's a good point about better visibility. Happy Turning!

    • @danielgeiger7739
      @danielgeiger7739 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@TurnAWoodBowl I was also thinking a bit more about tilting the scraper. The downside is the the tool is less steady than if the flat bar is in full contact with tool rest. Steady tool is important with punky wood (burls, inclusions, decay holes). You can get the same effect by scraping a bit higher than the typical midline. With a ~20 degree tilt angle ~ 1/4 of 90 degrees = 1/8 of 180 degrees, it would be about 1/8 of inner diameter higher at periphery, going down to zero at center. Maybe split the difference, so 1/16 higher, and compensate by raising/lowering tool handle a bit. That will change angle of scraper edge to wood a bit, but I think that is preferable to a wobbly tool.
      Just a different perspective. We all find our personal ways, some text book, some "wrong". As long as it works for each of us, all is good. Happy Turning!

    @lyndalanthony635 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    i didn't hear you say anything about the scraper being freshly sharpened, which is a must.
    Raising the handle turns the scraper into a negative rake, but it is so much easier to just turn the scraper into a negative rake by grinding a bevel on top. Negative rake scrapers don't want to cut, so they are much more user friendly than a flat topped scraper. You get a much better finish because they work like a knife buttering toast. If the knife is help perpendicular, it scrapes the toast, but if it is angled forward (negative rake) it pushes the butter into the toast and smooths it out.
    One last thing, some woods (hard) are much easier to scrape than soft woods which tend to tear out grain.

  • @robohippy
    @robohippy 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well, shall we say that we are worlds apart on a number of things here. First on scrapers, on the outside of a bowl, you cut at or slightly below center. The reason for this is so that if you have a catch, the scraper falls out of the cut rather than digging deeper. On the inside of a bowl, you cut slightly above center, again for the same reason.
    Apparently we have different definitions of 'shear scraping'. Raising the handle does not make a 'shear' scrape. At best, you end up with some thing barely similar to a negative rake scraper. It still does not make a NRS because you get more of a trailing cut, similar to what happens if you are using a card scraper and tilt it too far forward when you push. You still have a scraping cut and it leaves a poor surface, which is visible with all the tear out you have left in your bowl. You do not get a 'shear' cut by raising the scraper to maybe 15 degrees off of the tool rest. To get a shear cut, you need to have the cutting edge at 45 or more degrees to the rotation of the bowl. I frequently use a round nose scraper or more often one with a ) shaped nose. I can get it up to 60 or more degrees off of the tool rest, and that makes for a shear angle. The resulting shavings are long, and have a very long spiral to them, not flat shavings. In order to do this cut safely, you have to be cutting above center line of the bowl, and the scraper has to be up on edge, and you need to drop your handle. The reason for dropping the handle is so that you can not cut above the center line of your tool. That is the same as what you need to do when using a skew chisel because if you use the part above the center line of your tool, you get nasty catches.
    Never had much luck burnishing a burr with the standard burnishing tools on M2 or V10 or M42 HSS. Carbide, 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch diameter works far better, and last far longer than the grinder burr. It can be burnished down then back up a couple of times before you need to go back to the grinder. Some times, just using a credit card type coarse diamond honing card on the bevel, after honing down the top side, will make a very sharp burr.

    @naturaIIydifferent ปีที่แล้ว

    I like to use a "radiused" skew chisel sideways as a negative rake scraper. You get a nice clean finish and don't need to buy another tool. That said, it only stays sharp for about 10 seconds in scraping mode. But every scraper dulls quickly. Richard Raffan has been turning bowls for longer than I have been alive and uses a scraper regularly, so I don't think anyone needs to "master" a bowl gouge. Unless it makes you feel better, then by all means.

    Kent. I appreciate your thorough reaching style. I have learned a great deal from your videos.
    Question on bowl scrapers: would you ever just flip the scraper over so the bevel is facing up? Could you raise the handle to ride the bevel then lower the handle and start to scrape? Chas

    • @TurnAWoodBowl
      @TurnAWoodBowl  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you, Chas. Good questions. There is a burr on one side of the scraper. Flipping if over to the other side will not work as well since the burr will be facing away from the cut. Raising the handle changes the angle of impact to the wood. When that angle is around 90° there is the most potential for wood tear-out and a rough surface. With the handle up, that angle is downward and less severe. We are never rubbing the bevel with the round nose scraper. We want to rub the bevel of a bowl gouge, but scrape with the edge of the scrapers. Hope that helps. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

    • @TurnAWoodBowl
      @TurnAWoodBowl  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That is correct, the lowered angle allows the wood (and any catches) to more gentle glide past and not catch as easily as a 90° impact. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

    Carbides are scrapers. Would you use these techniques for carbide tools for a better finish?

    Thanks for the lesson on round nose scrapers. There are a couple of questions and observations. (A) how do you address scraping an uneven bowl edge, live edge. In other words what are the techniques when exiting a bowl as mentioned and (B) how do you maintain the angles, lower point and raised edge? (C) Noticed you didn't always maintain the raised right edge as you as you were coming out of the bowl. Was there a particular reason or was there more need to stabilized the scraper as you exited? This video came at the right time with a small bowl I'm struggling with.
    Stay safe and healthy.

    • @TurnAWoodBowl
      @TurnAWoodBowl  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the questions. A) I would not use a scraper to turn an uneven rimmed bowl, only bowl gouges, B) The edge is sharpened at the sharpening station. I can all the tools in my Tool Sharpening eCourse, check it out turnawoodbowl.com/tool-sharpening-ecourse-for-wood-bowl-turning/ C) Good question, I guess there are times when I keep the tool flat for a little more precious.

    Kent, I am getting better with my bowl gouges, thanks in part to your very informative videos, but still need a scraper for some fine tuning. I have several scrapers, including a 3/4" carbon steel round nose scraper that was one my grandmother used for wood carving a very long time ago. It is my favorite, and cuts amazingly well. The problem I have been having is that any of the scrapers, including my negative rake ones, create tear out where I had none before, which is aggravating. Your techniques make a lot of sense, and I will try them out on my next bowl! Thanks very much!

  • @prsearls
    @prsearls 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Those are good tips, Kent. My success using round nose scrapers have been mixed so I purchased a double-ended negative rake scraper last year. It is much easier to use but if I had known about these techniques, I might not have needed it. How much pressure do you apply when forming the burr on the scraper edge? I may regrind my conventional scrapers into negative rake ones. It's an easy process with CBN wheels. Do you need to remove the burr on a negative rake scraper before sharpening to make a new one? If so, that's a step I've omitted. Thanks!

    • @TurnAWoodBowl
      @TurnAWoodBowl  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It takes a fair amount of pressure. You also want to pull across that face as few times as possible, because you can start curling and forming the burr in an uneven manner. If you can pull 2 or 3 times and feel a slight edge, that's enough. After you smooth the surface run your finger over the smooth edge to have a comparison. Yes, it does help to remove the burr before sharpening and then add a clean fresh burr from the sharpening process. Think of the burr almost like a piece of aluminum foil on edge. Between the turning, sharpening, and pulling the burr it will get beat up pretty good. So, clean everything off first with the honing card, then sharpen the edge at the grinder, if needed. The sharpening process will restore a relatively straight burr, then use the burnishing tool to pull and curl that burr upward. If the tool is sharp, you can skip the sharpening station, like I did in the video, and clear the burr off and then pull the edge up. Ok, that was a bit long winded. LOL Happy Turning!

    Thanks Kent. As a pretty new wood turner, your teachings are great and have been helpful. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I have a question around tool steel though. Which tool steel(s) do you recommend. When looking at tools, most are M2, yet the different makers don’t seem to hold the same edge. I’ve also seen tools made from M42, however, I don’t own any of these so don’t know if I should invest in one to try it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    • @TurnAWoodBowl
      @TurnAWoodBowl  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      To be honest,, get what you can afford. Start with a simple affordable tool first because you might make mistakes when shaping and sharpening initially. Later try a different steel. The differences are not that huge.

    • @boooshes
      @boooshes 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Another approach is to pick a reputable tool maker and buy a decent tool. If you find that you are happy with it, go get another good tool as you can afford it. That way you have some hope to get quality consistency from tool to tool. In the end, you will likely do 90% of your work with your favorite gouge. Mine is a 5/8" Carter and Sons 40/40 grind.

    Thnx again, as always 😉.
    But ... isn't the effect of #1+2 the same as raise the toolrest and keep the scraper level (as you do around 12:10)? The curve of the bowl ensures more negative angle and a less than 90 degrees angle between cutting edge and the direction of the spinning wood at that point. It keeps the tool flat on the rest. Do I miss something here?
