Great to see a fellow lefty working with tools. I appreciate the simplicity of the lesson and materials. Seems like it will save thousands of dollars over the price of a wide variety of router bits. Thanks for sharing.
I did find this quite useful. I've seen all sort of patterns and information on these, and was in need of making one, and this was he first video that popped up. I really enjoy the rough "scrap wood" approach to your scratch stock cutters, and I was able to do just that. A broken hacksaw blade, a few minutes with a bench grinder and a Dremel, and 2 small scraps of maple with a 7/8 x 1/4 deep notch cut out of the centre base (just quickly cut on the radial arm saw), and I was able to scratch the stock I needed (some very tiny flutes for mini column plinth toppers on a reproduction clock case). It's surprising how shallow the cuts actually need to be to get a nice profile.
I've just started to work on developing skills for Federal Style furniture and I found this video invaluable. Thanks and best wishes for a great 2020 to you and the rest of the Wood and Shop community!
Thank you. I'd heard of "scratch stock" but had the wrong idea what they were about. I guess you learn something new every day...if you're not REAL careful!
I recently made a scratch stock to put a bead around a vent opening in a section of pine baseboard. I could no get a clean bead when working across the grain. Any suggestions to working cross grain with scratch stocks? Thanks
Thank you. I learned new things today.
This simple scratch stock operation opens whole new posiblilties of adding decoration to projects. Thank you.
You're absolutely right. And it's cool that you can make a bead with a screw and a piece of wood!
Great demonstration Mr. Pine, thanks for sharing it.
Glad you liked it Bill

Glad it was helpful Tim!
Great stuff Ray!
This guy needs his own channel/segment showing his obviously vast knowledge
Alright, we'll have David do some more videos!
Great 👍 thanks

Yeah, be careful!
Is there an video or example of the bench he is using? Would like to replicate it for my shop confused on how the legs are oriented.
Very helpful and interesting. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes
You're most welcome Mark!
I was wondering how woodworkers of old added profiles to curves....now I know!
Love your channel keep up the great work!
Thanks so much!
A great way to save money from router bits. Thank you and greetings from Buenos Aires.
You're welcome, and glad to have a friend from Buenos Aires...a place I'd love to travel to!
Очень интересно,спасибо!

Pine is harder to scrape and scratch than hardwood so spend some extra time polishing your profile.
Save your broken hacksaw blades for these. Shape them with a dremel.
Great tip, thanks!
Caveman technique
Yes, isn't it great!
