Good video. I like the use of the marker to ensure it’s bee touched uniformly. Have done that with cleaning up table saw sled runners too. It’s like using xylem blue in machining metal
I love my scrapers. They leave the wood looking bright and feeling very smooth. Whereas heavy to medium grit sandpaper leaves it looking dull sand feeling fuzzy. It took some time for me to learn the proper way to sharpen one. Not everyone does it the same. And some books show the scraper being burnished at a 90 degrees. It puts a burr on both sides.
THANK YOU for making a quick, easy, and most of all, STRAIGHTFORWARD guide. so much better that all of the 15 minute videos with midroll ads and sponsors that interrupt the video
Brilliant, works much better than my previous method. It's quite surprising how little pressure you need to make the edge. I used the round chrome stem of a screwdriver. I also found that 1000 grit seemed to work fine as the finish. Thanks for posting. BTW the oil is essential as otherwise the metal edge tends to rip.
That's an interesting comment. I make lute ribs from pieces of yew which I plane down to 1.5mm thickness. Planing areas where the grain switches direction causes tear out, so I use a scraper instead. They can be used very effectively against the grain :)
If you want a truly simple method of sharpening the scraper, just use it after you file it. After all, the filing process raises a burr. That's why you're stoning the faces after filing: to remove the filing burr. The filing burr is actually sharp enough to raise shavings. If you don't believe me, try it, it works just fine. The only time I use a burnisher is to sharpen a scraping plane iron.
Thanks for watching! 🙂 I have used the scraper after filing and it works just fine. I use the stones as it helps get a cleaner cut. Right off the file it cuts but tends to leave long lines in the wood. At least that has been my experience. They usually show up when finishing. Using the stones helps get finer "teeth" and leaves a cleaner finish. I find it lasts longer before it needs to be sharpened again too (just my experience). It really depends what you are using the scraper for as to how much effort you want to put into honing it👍
Absolutely! I have done this many times. It will quickly remove the finish where a sanding disk would get gummed up. This is where it pays for itself in my opinion.
The burr can be fine tuned for the type of work you are doing. Typically they come with a squared edge so that they can be "honed" by the user. The burrs don't last all that long so being able to sharpen them is an essential skill, even if they did come with a burr already on them. Thanks for watching :)

Here's a link to the AWESOME scraper that I use on a daily basis! amzn.to/2Rt7HR4
agreed- the .60 is more versatile than the .80
For the first time ever I have managed to get shaving off of my scraper, thanks to this video. Thank you!
That is awesome!👍
the other day i was listening to 'every tool's a hammer' by Adam Savage and he mentions these things. never knew they existed
This is a terrific and helpful video. Thank you! You've earned a subscriber.

Great video, to the point.
Nicely done 🔨
This is excellent. Will definitely be adopting this.
Right on! I'm glad I could help👍. If you have any questions dont hesitate to ask. Thanks for watching!🙂
Nice video.
Do you have a source for the small burnishing tool you use? I can only find large ones in stores
@@AP-kl3qe Thanks! The smaller one I use in the video is online from Lee Valley.
You might say somethingabout what sort of file you used and that scrapers need to work with grain in the same way planes do.

@Greebstreebling I agree. The scrapers are my go to for working on tough grain.
I love it when you get big curly shavings, I’m a bit hit and miss when it comes to burnishing the card scraper.
Essentially the same as many other videos, but VERY WELL DONE 👍🏻
Watching this for the second time, because it just popped up in my feed today! Nice video brother 👍👌
Thanks man! I hope you found it helpful!
Stupid question, but I assume when orienting the scraper you are cutting opposite the angle you create with the Burr?
Cool just learn something thank you very much
Thank you for watching! I'm glad I could help!
Why do you not push the burr out on both sides so that you have two edges on each sharpening session or did I miss something or would this not work?
Absolutely, you can do that. And you should.

hmm.. You mention simple, but I've never seen any other way of sharpening a card. What are other ways of doing it?
Awesome, thanks!
Wish I knew this before! Unfortunately mine were left out in a dusty shed and got rusty but they should still work find for what I need
Excellent!
Glad you liked it!
One thing is for sure. Sandpaper dulls the wood whereas a card scraper keeps the wood looking natural.
So simple. Yea
Tgankyou
Where'd you get that case for your scrapers?
I believe it is called a "cabinet scraper case" at Leevalley.com
What’s that Huile stuff?
Thats just 3 in 1 oil from canadian tire. Probably should have filmed the English side😋. Any kind of oil will do though👍
Remarkable Woodworks “Huile” is just French for oil
Do you have a source for the card scraper pouch? I've been putting my scrapers in a drawer and this method is far from the best.
Lee Valley cabinet scraper case. It's available for order on their website.
Tks, I just placed my order.
Will the sharpened scraper remove an existing finish?
Absolutely! I have done this many times. It will quickly remove the finish where a sanding disk would get gummed up. This is where it pays for itself in my opinion.
Why don't these come already sharpened??

very dood video. i make music instruments (boyzoyki greek) an i use sharpen very mach
would be a good video if you dropped the annoying backround music. Not everything needs music. When there´s no value in adding it, just don´t.
Poor little guy has to endure some background music 🥺🥺🥺
You sound like a massive Karen
