A Scraper Question

I use a screwdriver handle (round). Clamp the scraper in the vise. Use the screwdriver handle – quite a lot of force pulling it along on the outside edge. It rolls naturally.

A video done by Skip should give you your answer.

Thanks all – I knew I had come to the right place for answers.

It sucks when your memory fails ya.

Good video Grumpy. It took me a long time to figure out the world of scrapers. I couldn’t find a source that would specify how hard to press, etc. This video does a good job. But so everyone knows, I bought the Veritas scraper sharpener from Lee Valley. Makes things a bit easier.
