Charles Hayward Scraper Plane Build

I love card scrapers and I use them a lot. Perhaps that is one of the reasons that I now have osteoarthritis in my right thumb. Bending a card scraper to make those beautiful little shavings is now a pain …. literally. The answer seems to be some sort of scraper holder or scraper plane and since I discovered Charles Hayward's great book in pdf format, I have often thought about the plane he describes. It uses a Stanley #80 scraper blade, a replacement for which can conveniently be bought from Ron Hock (Hock Tools).

So a few days ago I ordered a few and while I was waiting, went to look at my small wood supply. The only thing I had that was hard enough and big enough was some Pepper Wood (schinus molle) that I saved from a tree we had taken down in our yard a couple of years back. I thought that would be perfect for my Az. shop made tool collection.

Sadly I had to cut and paste a bit to get a piece the right size.

This morning I took the glued up piece , laid out a few lines, drilled a couple of alignment holes, and ripped it at 72 degrees at the line of the blade bed.

Then I took the bit that would be the front and cut away the escapement. I seldom take the time to use a dado head as I find it usually quicker to just do repeated cuts.

Part 1 and 2 show how talented you are. makes us think "I could do that." Probably but without your finesse.

When my parents bought our cottage some 45 years ago the previous owner left a Shop Smith in the garage saying he would come back for it. As a kid I was amazed by that machine and enjoyed the summer that we had it. I secretly hoped he would forget about it. That fall, he did come back for his Shop Smith. The way that table adjusts is quite amazing. It reminds me of a Cirque du Soleil contortionist.

Paul, have you ever tried anything like this (http://www.coreproducts.com/the-massage-therapists-thumb.html) for support with the card scraper?

Thanks for the comments. I am a convert to ShopSmith, in fact I'm like a reformed smoker sometimes.

Jim thanks for the thought. I have a brace that was made for me at a hand clinic but isn't very comfortable to work in. I will look into the one you posted.

Largely due your (and some others) flattering comments on the ShopSmith, I purchased a 510 the other day. Hoping to get my garage in order over the next few days so I can begin the process of getting familiar with it. Hope to publish some pics of projects in the near future. Thanks again Paul

After lunch I set the SS table to 18 degrees and drilled for the clamp screws (10-32). Drill, tap, install one screw, and use it as a guide to drill the other.

Next I ripped the body profile and drilled the adjuster screw hole. The SS table is amazing at this.

Too many pictures I suspect.

... and you've got a scraper plane.

First impressions are that the plane itself is a fine design. It feels good in the hands and is easy to adjust and use. I was reasonably pleased with the cuts I made but it is clear that I have to learn a little more about turning a burr on a bevelled blade. I've only ever done it on a square edge and I think I likely need to be more careful on this more fragile edge. I just held the blade in my left hand and passed the burnisher over it with my right. That works fine for me with card scrapers but the cuts I got today show signs of an uneven burr. That will be easy to fix. .... :)

Thanks for looking in.

Wonderful Tool you made Paul.
I really find it a lot more beautiful that the metal once I have from Record and Stanley.
Look forward to see you Work with it.
Best thoughts,
Mads
