Looks great…. but how does it feel? just wondering how well it works. Thinking of doing one for myself. That Pecan is beautiful wood.

Nice work, looks great.

Very nice idea. I need to make one of these. My scraper sometimes gets too hot to hold. This should solve the problem. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Ratchet,
Very user friendly and more control…good job.

I like this Ratchet and I’d like to make one, but before I do, is there anything you would do different on it now that you’ve gotten some experience with it? Thanks for posting.

Thank you all for the kind words. This really is an easy project.
And it really works great. I can’t beleive that I’ve suffered so long using card scrapers with bare hands.\

Stefang. I am probably going to unscrew the two halves and reshape the curve to more closely match what the scraper actually does when flexed. Might help, might not. I would also choose a nicer looking brass knurled knob instead of the wing nut version you see here. But the wing nut screw already on hand so free was chosen in this case over style.

As advice do not glue the 2 halves together in case you need to seperate them. The screws hold the 2 halves together fine.

Just found this. Great idea, I need to make one for my tiered hands.

-- Karen - a little bit of stupid goes a long way

Very ingenious, looks practical and sturdy, these types of additions to your tools must greatly increase your efficiency in producing such fine work that I have seen you do, thank you for sharing and helping with the overall knowledge and inspiration of all of us here on the site

Great project. Nice design

I’ve made a couple of these, but just used a block of wood instead of the screw. Do you use the screw for adjustment, or just to create the curve?
