What a great tutorial Tomislav. Between yourself and Richard I am learning so much without having to buy expensive tools and making much more use of my standard scrapers. Your time taken to make these videos is appreciated.
Excellent, another very informative video. Many thanks for this latest series of tutorials, they are really very helpful to me. Practice, practice practice now!
Another great tutorial Tomislav! Thank you so much for all of these. I know it takes a lot of time to put this together and it is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!
Very useful information. I have a square-end scraper that I need to try this geometry on. It is good for making sure the mortise for a box is square to the bed, but because it is a straight perpendicular edge, it is not useful for much else. I can see how a slight curve can greatly increase its utility.
My scrapers came at about 65 degrees, and I have kept them there, and same angle all the way around. As for CBN wheels, I did take an old one that was pretty much worn out and loaded it up with aluminum, copper, brass, and soft steel. After a month or so of sharpening my standard scrapers, all visible remains of the metals were gone. Some will sell 'cleaning sticks' which are generally a harder aluminum oxide than standard grinding wheels. It does work, but puts a lot of nasty white dust in the air. As for grits, I say if you are getting one wheel, get a 180 grit as it is great for 90% of what you will be sharpening. If you get a second wheel, then I say go for 600 grit. Where this comes in handy is if you are turning some very soft and punky wood. That extra fine edge will cut that stuff a lot cleaner, which saves sanding time. I generally don't like turning that type of wood because I want stuff that will get daily use rather than sitting on a shelf looking pretty and collecting dust.
really good information yet again. Thankyou very much for your time, I also like Richards methods. Some of these cuts I have developed on my own, I am self taught, and these videos confirm I am doing things in the right way. Thankyou for your time.
Thank you again for another excellent class. Do you have a video on how you created the assymetric rounded scrapers particularly the shot glass scraper. All the best
These tutorials on the tools you use are really helping me. I am currently building up my inventory of tools by making them from HSS blanks made to fit ER collet equipped handles. The collets are 3D printed for a good exact fit on the rectangular shaped shanks. Making the tools has been enjoyable and then getting to use them for other projects should be like icing on the cake. The collet handles need to prove themselves out a bit more for me. But so far I really like them. Your videos are helping me to know which tools I should be adding and how to profile and sharpen them. So helpful! Thanks!
Tomislav another excellent tutorial!! I’ve started to change my scrapers to your style and immediately have noticed improvements especially with shear scraping . Thank you I’m even working on the asymmetric grind on an old bowl gouge… a work in progress!!
Ha, my square end scraper is a vintage buck brothers turning tool. I think it was either a skew or a negative rake scraper at some point. I got it from an antique store for 10$. It's perfect for making mortises. Just hone it and it's ready to go
Don't give up,its just practice and from time to time I still mess up but I use that mess up grind as I know its will still do the job.... With time you'll find your groove
Спасибо за видео, Томислав. Очень информативно. Пробую твои методы, хотя сам привык делать немного по другому. Пока ещё не понял, как лучше. Ворос не по теме: ты говоришь, что в мастерской холодно. Оно и понятно - зима. Холодно - это сколько градусов? Ведь с понижением температуры заготовки в мастерской снова набирает влажность. Готовые изделия потом не деформируются?
Good question, its around 5 C' , I have all rough out stuff in the shop drying so I don't use heater....As it terms of humidity, wood always moves so I take that into calculations
Thank you for another great video. On that first square end scraper you sharpened, is the left edge also sharpened to get it to slightly less than 90 degrees?
They are pretty close , usually bedan is square piece of steel , vs square end scraper is rectangel, also bedan is thicker tool, usually 10x10 or 12x12mm .... But the function is the same
Thank you, learned a great deal of techniques
Terrific tutorial tommi.
Thanks for sharing the fine intricate details with these scrapers and then demonstrating there use.
One of your best videos.
Thank you very much 🤗
This video is as good as it gets! Nuff said. -Doc Green

I think there is a few scrapers similar approch in this video 🤗

I have been looking for a long time a Jimmy clewes collars , just for a few tools so soon I might do a video on that as well☺️
tank you for showing this
Tomislav another excellent tutorial!!
I’ve started to change my scrapers to your style and immediately have noticed improvements especially with shear scraping . Thank you
I’m even working on the asymmetric grind on an old bowl gouge… a work in progress!!
Very glad to hear that sir, just keep on practice ☺️
Thanks for the great information!

excellent instruction as alway Tomislav. I'm still working on sharpening by hand and I WILL get it (so tired of using jigs)😒
Don't give up,its just practice and from time to time I still mess up but I use that mess up grind as I know its will still do the job.... With time you'll find your groove
I’ve been sharpening my scrapers all wrong😮

Thank you for another great video. On that first square end scraper you sharpened, is the left edge also sharpened to get it to slightly less than 90 degrees?
It is a bit, but it was for specific job, usually its ok to be 90 degrees
Would you address the difference between your square end scraper vs a Bedan tool?
They are pretty close , usually bedan is square piece of steel , vs square end scraper is rectangel, also bedan is thicker tool, usually 10x10 or 12x12mm .... But the function is the same
The whole negative rake terminology seems overcomplicated. I just call it an acute angle. I hope I'm not being obtuse 😊
😅 indeed sometimes terminalogy can be difficult, ecpecially for someone who's native language isn't English ☺️😂
