I have an old masonry spatula (a rectangular piece of metal honestly, but it was used as such), that I wanted to turn into a proper scraper. Thank you for this video, Mister Blackburn :D
I happened to get my hands on a solid carbide endmill that had chipped cutters (making it useless for its original purpose), the shank makes a great burnisher as carbide is hard enough to cut hardened steel. The way I find works best is the one described in the 1890:s Teacher's handbook of Sloyd (although I read it in the original Swedish): File and stone the edge straight and smooth and then burnish the face near the edge with a piece of 'glass hard' steel and finally turn the burr/hook over by a single, steady stroke along the edge.
If you happen to have a handsaw with hardened teeth that can´t be sharpened, don´th bthrow it away once it gets dull. It can still be used to make scrapers.
Best teacher ever
Thanks!
At 73 you are helping me be better wood worker than when I was in my youth.. thanks Graham.
Same here!

Thank you for the very useful information. I have never had any training with scrapers and am eager to learn how to finish wood without sanding.
You can do it!
Thanks so much, Graham! Very helpful presentation.

Great theme music! Great explanation. Thank you.
You're welcome,
@gjbmunc just to follow up, the method with the 90 file block made the process much faster, and I am now getting a much better edge. Again, well done.
Thanks Graham, I have a lot to learn. I am one of those electric machine woodworkers. Cheers
You're welcome,
No more sanding! Yay! My lungs thank you, my sinuses thank you and my ShopVac thanks you!!

Sounds good!

Sounds great, you're lucky!
If I ever build a guitar, I will make use of this knowledge.
Great!
The Yoda woodworker ! Cheers Sir!
Likewise!
Perfecto, que se puede decir, una gran instrucción en materia de raspadores y ebanistería.👋
Gracias!
Nice. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome,
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
You're welcome,
Almost no dust and zero noise for the same amount of time. How good is that?!
I like it!
In your area, Santa Cruz, Harbor, and Soquel High Schools all offer woodworking courses in 2024, Graham! So does Cabrillo College!
I've since moved back to Woodstock NY.
Being s stained glass craftsman, I cut 4-5 mm glass to suite the shape I need.
Good idea!
Is that a Norris smoother?
Yes indeed.
great!
You're welcome,
Do the scraper plane blades get the same edge treatment. Do they have the same hook.
Yes indeed.
Gracias me ayudo mucho
Me alegro!
De nada!
Scrap printer? The rods the cartridges travel on make excellent burnishers. They are also highly toleranced to ensure the print isn't fuzzy.
Good to know!
Good idea.
If you happen to have a handsaw with hardened teeth that can´t be sharpened, don´th bthrow it away once it gets dull. It can still be used to make scrapers.
Good idea!
