i've had the variable burnisher and card holder for years, never used them much and now they are in the same imaginary drawer as the LA block plane tote. i will look for them and try them again!
Thanks for the refresher- great info and very complete! I’ve been using these for years but it’s been awhile and I really needed this reminder, lots of great knowledge packed in here!- awesome 👏 👍
Again, Jamie good job explaining both tools. It was what I call down and dirty, a good thing. I did get a kick when you scraped your bench across the grain without raising sweet curls. I like your handles for the acu-burr. You think you might make a video demonstrating an easy method for those of us without a lathe set up? I bought the 1/4 inch one and 1/4 “ compression fittings. They sent 3/8” instead. Again I thank you 🙏
I actually just made a hammer handle this last week. I used files and rasps that's the first time I ever made a handle without the lathe. For the acubur, I would say take a blank and drill the hole first then shape away with files and rasps. Till everything fits the way you like. Then super glue or epoxy it together. I would love to make a video on it but I dont know how soon I'd get to it so I hopefully this helps in the mean time!
Thanks for another great video. How about the old burr. I have seen a lot of perseveration concerning removal of the old burr prior to establishing a new one.
Ah great point, if the old version is there rub it on a fine stone both sides then hit it with the 0 deg burnisher. I can't believe I left that out :( But.... I RARELY do that. Usually I just bernish again hahah
I think I found my problem, I didn't use ear oil! 😂 But seriously, I didn't try oil and I didn't start at zero degrees. I did prep the edge per Wood By Wright prior to using the burnisher.
I have an older one with the wood body. Curious about what happens if I apply too much pressure while burnishing which is where I think I have been doing it wrong. I get a very slight burr which disappears quickly. One or two minutes of use. Using it to remove old varnish from an oak chair.
No problem at all!!! I'm glad it helped, check out a diff brand where you can pick thickness that helps too. Less aggressive = thinner. More aggressive = thicker
@@BatCaveCreations Pretty sure I'm doing an aggressive job with a too thin card. Really thankful that you go into all the detail in your videos. Helps a guy like me a lot.
I use the file guage A LOT. For cards, saws, redoing the bevel on the scraper plane. I've used it on random things too anytime I need a 90 or 45 on metal I reach for it
I just watched this whole thing and have absolutely no idea what any of this is for. What are we burnishing? Why are we burnishing? Why are you scraping the wood?
Hey Maggy! Sorry this was more of a how to use the tool video, so it was geared to people that have one. This tool burnishes cards/card scrapers. They are thin pieces of metal that, once given a burr through burnishing, can be used to Scrape wood. Scrapping wood is helpful in crazy grain where you are getting tare out on a board. Some people like card scraping over a planed surface for finishing. It also helps to Scrape if the piece is small and a hand plane would be tough. Hope that helps

hahaha START SEARCHING!! lol

Thank you!!! Love the feedback!
Your oil from ear earned a subscribe! 😂 But so practical
Hahaha I'll take it! Thank you lol it works too :D
I bought the full Veritas scraping kit last year and was doing terrible. Can’t wait to try it again!
I was terrible at it when I bought that kit too but now it's so satisfying!!!
Jamie! I love you and Plane Wellness! CIHI represents!
Thank you!!!!!

Your videos are great thanks.
Thank you! Glad you like them!
When do we get the ear wax vs behind the ear oil video
Hahaha that would be a funny short lol
I know right. The rest of us just keep 3 in 1 to hand
Haha our ears make free oil tho!!!! Hahahhahah
Great video my friend thank you
I think I found my problem, I didn't use ear oil! 😂

hahhah ear oil is the KEY!
you wanna give it another go? I can send it back tomorrow :D
Now you tell me! Great video.
Haha thank you!!

Are yiu working your way up in progression? How thick is the card?
@@BatCaveCreations No idea of thickness. Progression! Right ! Forgot that and will try it now. LOL
Worked better with progression. Got a cheap set I think from ROC. I guess that would be one reason for the burr not lasting. Thanks for the info.

good video!
Thank you!
Do you feel that the file guide is something you use often or do you just re-do the burr each time?

Veritas solution is a great deal.
How would it work for a scraper plane, where the bladenis thicker?
It works with the thin Veritas iron, same with the thin Stanley, but it won't work on the thick Veritas or the thick LN irons.
@BatCaveCreations thanks! Been wondering. Is there another option for frustration free burnishing of the thicker irons? Or is the accuburr the best?
@@Steve-xt5gr accu burr deff wins thay battle cus iron size doesn't matter lol

save your money,,,i have tried and tried and this will not put an edge on a scrapper reguardless of what they say on here
Works great buddy, used it for years- go troll elsewhere!
