Cutting edge stuff😁 Thanks so much for sharing what I'm sure are many thousands of hours at the lathe. Right up there with watching Richard cutting logs and getting many blanks out of cracked timber. A university education for me playing in my garage!
I had no idea that you could use a card scraper on a lathe. I always learn something new from your videos. Thank you for your dedication and knowledge.
Some decades ago, I bought from Peter Child's in the UK a tool steel scraper somewhat similar to the card scraper but a little larger and more solid, about 3mm thick that was used freehand in the same way using the lathe in both directions. Knowing about it and using it to good effect, sadly, are not automatically comrades in arms. Back to the beginning again for me...
Very good video. I have always used a card scraper for flatwork; it is faster than going through multiple sandpaper grits and one can get a finish ready surface that doesn't require any sanding. This looks really interesting.
Great video. I suspect that the third method of creating a burr is using a burnishing rod, likely carbide. The angle of applying the rod to the tool affects the burr. Excellent tool control while turning! And it's good to see someone using a hand held scraper; traditional Japanese turners often use high speed steel hacksaw blades ground to a proper shape for this purpose, and reverse the lathe several times to produce a beautiful finish as you have done. Well done!
Thank you very much, that is what I tried to explain on Facebook post, but no point.... I'll see if I can get a hold on burnisher.... but something similar will be used.... it has to be harder then scraper
Well, that was a question I have had for a long time. I decided trying a card scraper wasn't necessary for me, and possibly dangerous. But I'm glad you've answered the question of a hand held card scraper on turning.
Back in the day I had a commission for about 25 live edge bowls. I tried cleaning up tear out on the inside, just below the wings, using curved card scrapers. Never could get the hang of it. I suspect it was because I really didn't know what I was doing, and could not effectively roll a burr. It looks like you got really nice fuzzies going in reverse! Thanks
Thank you, I haven't use it on inside,I cut top portion clean with gouge then the bottom with standard scrapers..... that gives me really good surface.... I would use this if the grain is really not cooperate..... hope that makes sense 😀 But on the outside can be quite usefull ☺️
Very different. I have card scrapers I use for my cabinet making. I am at this moment turning a Pear bowl. It is full of tear out and is frustrating me. Tomorrow I will try my card scraper. Thanks Tomislav.
No worries 😀, if you have a lot of tearout, you'll have to sharpen card scraper quite often, so you might wanna use something else to get rid of most tearout..... also watch out that you don't catch a scraper in wrong position on the bowl.... take it slowly😀
Tomislav, another great video! It seems to me to be counter-intuitive to stroke in bothe directions when raising the bur. I feels like you would fold the bur over on the downstroke. But, clearly, it works very well, and yet with a burnishing tool you only pull in one direction. I am confused how this works...?
I will on more indepth video..... usually I don't use card scraper unless its really stuborn grain, and on inside I usually get great surface from gouge and standard scrapers.... but I will show that aswell ☺️
Great video. Instruction with scrapers is one I needed. I want to get a card scraper to try out. Would those be called cabinet scrapers? All I could find on Amazon were card scrapers.
I think I know the trick you’re teasing!! Can’t wait to see if it’s what I do! What angle do you prefer for your scraper grind? I seem to recall 45 degrees maybe? Love your videos sir!
Haven't try it on inside as I usually get great surface with gouge and standard scrapers..... if you hold it right there is no danger, only thing is touching the wood is micro burr..... ovious you don't want to point it scraper in rotation ..... I'll do video on this more in depth for those who wants to try it....☺️
Don't use it then.... if you know how to hold it and use it its no more dangerous then bowl gouge..... common sense and practice.... this isn't something that I invent, this is old tehnique that japanese turners use .....
You always teach me something new and useful. Thank you.

Something similar Japanese turners use, I believe from hacksaw blade.... Works great for stuborn grain

Really helpful information on sharpening and using a scraper too!
Glad to help out ☺️

I am loving your channel and learning so much. I cannot thank you enough.
Awsome, I'm honored to be able to help out ☺️

Thank you for that Jay☺️
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this technique!
I used card scrapers on a large segmented Plywood vase a couple of years ago. Excellent results
Glad to hear it☺️

Yes. So good. Very informative. Thank you Tomislav.
Thank You for watching
Great teaching and very informative. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much
I’m a big fan of using scrapers in my bowl turning , as well as learning new methods of use and tuning the burr
Glad to hear that ☺️
Never would have thought of a card scraper. Admittedly I'm a newish turner but this will improve my toolmarks I hope.
There will be video after this that explain why I don't use it much.... and when to use it
Very interesting you make it look easy someday I can be half as good thankyou
Thank you, believe me its just practice
Wow, I never thought to use card scrapers on bowls. Thanks tommi
👍 thank You for watching
Very appealing. Looking forward to watching the detailed video. Thanks !
Glad to hear that
Great information! I’m going to buy a card scraper this weekend and try this ❤
Let me know 👍

I'm gonna get out my card scrapers and put them to the test. I suspect my results may not be great since mine are not that flexible.
This is new to me! Very excited to try it out!
Thank you for this video. I’m looking forward to the bur raising video!
Thanks for watching 🤗
Nice discussion. Obviously, the topic of burnishing is coming next!
Soon🤗
Tomislav, another great video!

Its ok to go in one way only, its more of preference and what to expect from tool
Great idea just tried it on some cherry nice finish
Glad to hear that ☺️
Hey, very interesting. i learned a couple of things. Thanks
Glad to hear that ☺️
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning actually, that was before you even started with the card scraper :)
Very cool. Can't wait to give this a try.
Let me know ☺️
Great video but caint wait to see how to raise the burr
Will you use the card scraper on the inside of the bowl? Thank you.
I will on more indepth video..... usually I don't use card scraper unless its really stuborn grain, and on inside I usually get great surface from gouge and standard scrapers.... but I will show that aswell ☺️
Pretty slick, using a card scraper. 🙂
Thanks

Oooh not sure, I believe these were from dictum store.... try cabinet scrapers although they can be thicker, this is maybe less then 2mm thick
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning thanks. I’ll give it a try.
Outstanding work 😉😉
Thank you
Great video!
Thank you

Could be🤗 its pretty much 45👍
Shaping or cutting…this is the question…when Schaky ever exists 😊thepurple one is 1200, yellow 660 green 300 if that makes sense 🇭🇷
Thank you 👍
Seems scary to hold "by hand" a sharp blade to a powered piece of wood. Any danger involved? Can you also do the inside of the bowl?
Haven't try it on inside as I usually get great surface with gouge and standard scrapers..... if you hold it right there is no danger, only thing is touching the wood is micro burr..... ovious you don't want to point it scraper in rotation ..... I'll do video on this more in depth for those who wants to try it....☺️
Never thought of this, thank you so much.
You are welcome 👍
Honestly, I think the card scraper is too tricky to use. It is very thin and there is a huge amount of vibration while using it.
Not much if you do it properly, hacksaw blades can be great scrapers as well as used in japanese turning culture
Is it spring steel?
I would not know, its a standard card scraper that you can buy at woodworking store
je trouve ça très dangereux !!!!!!!
Don't use it then.... if you know how to hold it and use it its no more dangerous then bowl gouge..... common sense and practice.... this isn't something that I invent, this is old tehnique that japanese turners use .....
