Any ideas on uses for a Stanley #70 Box Scraper?

You could hunt up some boxes and scrape them rascals.

I have one and I use it all the time, it is the perfect tool to scrap the wax off of exotic bowl blanks.

I’ve got one of those. My dad gave it to me along with a bunch of other small things. I’d be interested in finding a reason to pull it down once in a while.

I wonder if I could get it sharp enough to shave my dog?

I would imagine your dog just gave you a dirty look…lol

Could it be used to scrape glue squeeze out say in an edge joint glue up?

While your dog might not like you using it on him, maybe you can use it to cut your toenails. For a woodworking application maybe it can be used for totem pole work, or maybe boat building.

I have a broken one I adapted with a blade sharpened to a point. Got mine from an old farm auction. I use it to strip bark off blocks of felled trees I collect year round… makes a quick job of it for crabapple trees.

I second the glue squeeze out idea.

The problem is it’s an agressive plane, the blade edge is curved and the bottom slightly concave. So it would not do for glue squeezings- it would likely take too much off or mar the surface too much.

I meant “convex”, not “concave”...

Convexed, concaved, they a both curved, who can remember which is which.

So- a little wood plane without a flat bottom, which swivels at the end of a long handle… Yet we woodworkers see one at a yard sale and we MUST buy it solely because of the Stanley name on it…

I saw that Kunz makes a new one copied from the Stanley version! How could there possibly be a market for it nowadays?
