Shop Skills #2: Card Scrapers the Video!

Sorry guys-
I will be posting it smaller to fit the LJ format.

Being inherently lazy, I’m going to give the simple square-edge scraper sharpening a try. If I don’t need to burnish the edge that’s one less step before I get back to work.

-- You're a unique and special person, just like everyone else.

Nice job Todd. The video was wider than the viewing window in by browser. I saw all of the left and maybe 40% of the right side.

very, very nice Todd. I’ll have to try this out on my new LN’s. seems like it will work very nicely for where i use card scrapers.

Nice video, simple and to the point. Good job.

Karson – I am reloading it in a smaller format. Learning the video is all new to me so I am climbing a steep learning curve right now.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks Todd for taking the time and energy to produce this video. I really enjoyed the information and I have a couple of nearly unused scrapers ready to go. Your presentation looked polished to me and came across beatutifully in the video.

I like the “angel hair” term for such fine shavings. I will certainly give this a try.

Cheers,

I hope to hear back from everybody that tries this method. I know of several people that have been frustrated with attempting to sharpen these scrapers.

About 4 hours ago I used Todd’s method on some red oak and it works great. I never used the scraper before because of being intimidated by the complicated sharpening instructions.

Thanks for the video Todd, and also thank you for pointing out that we do not have to spend a lot of money on expensive scrapers. Those of us on a fixed income appreciate that.

-- Bill - If I knew GRANDKIDS were so much fun I would have had them first.

Bill – I am glad that it worked out for you. Thanks for the feedback. I think that you will find the card scraper to be invaluable in the shop.
