I had completely forgotten about the scratch stock! Thanks!!

I've got a red beard and brown hair. Two of my daughters have red hair. So when you said, "A scratch stock doesn't have a sole. Just like a card scraper doesn't have a sole", I was halfway expecting a Ginger joke.

Very cool answer to the question, "Can I scratch it?" Yes you can, but you have to make it yourself! LOL.

Again, you have the best T Shirts. Great video as well. Like this tool. There are so many great hand tools out there .

I’ve learned something new today! Thanks!

I believe you have just scratched the surface on the subject. 😎

I personally like making my stock from scratch. Just get the ends of a carrot, celery, some onions, maybe some bony meat...

I liked that thing. And the card scraper as well! I don't have a soul either, so... 🤷‍♂️ But seriously, thanks James! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thanks for sharing. A few years ago for Christmas, I received the Ron Hock scratch stock device and the LieNielsen scratch stock assorted selection of "blades."

I can imagine a lot of uses for this tool. Thank you!

Another very helpful video, James. Thank you!

I’ve not yet made (and used) a scratch stock for woodworking, done a few for plaster mouldings (nightmarish, but effective) - but I love my moulding planes so I think you may have inspired me to get my groove on :)

I've made a couple simple ones but haven't used them much yet. I made them like like Garrett Hack. But yours is pretty neat and would be a good addition to the simple ones!

Thx for sharing this James , i would like to see you use a scratch stock on a project and maybe see your stanley molding plane also on s project . It would be diffrent and fun to see 😉👍🏼❤️🇨🇦

Was about to go in the comments and and ask "what about sharpening?" And then oh, thanks.

thank you

That would be a great alternative to the dedicated fuller scraper I've been using for my swords, including that katana of yours in the background. With a scratch stock I'd be able to do so much more than a simple 1/4 blood groove.

A scolding plane!

My first scratch stock was just a 3" piece of cherry with a kerf cut in it. It was also modeled after one I was taught to use by Garrett Hack

Bela ferramenta. Gostei dela

Also great for "sanding" profiles when you finish decides to glob up.

thanks

I’ve been looking for a good video on this subject. Bought and restored a user base Stanley 66 to relieve my itch. Maybe we will see you at Gettysburg.

Thanks for sharing

Mine is an old marking gauge that I cut a slot in!

That is a great way to do it!

I liked it the other day when you first put it on. My question is how complicated can I make the cutter? I am thinking pretty complicated, as long as you take small cuts.

You can make it as complicated as you want, but the wider it gets the harder it is to use.

Afternoon James-from James

In terms of the blood groove, how well does this work on end grain cutting boards?

@WoodByWrightHowTo

2 жыл бұрын

If the cut is shallow, it works fairly well. However, if you have a sharp vertical wall, it needs to cut in. It doesn't do that very well. Tends to tear apart. The surface of the wood.

Excellent! I do have a saw that isn't worth rescuing, I might make something out of it now. Do you have any advice on gouge sharpening? Mainly the internal face. I can sort of freehand the external to a reasonable degree.

@@WoodByWrightHowTo thanks. It comes flooding back to me now, I've watched that video of that nice young gentleman in the past. I must get myself some buffing compound. I have some micro (palm?) gouges that I use quite a lot too, I think they'd suit the profile creation method you showed. Thanks!

James: Before I ask this question, I went to your videos and searched for pencil and/or marking. I was trying to find that red and blue marking gauge you just used with a pencil. I could not find it. Did you make that one? Did you purchase it. I think that would be a nice addition to my little woodworking setup.

@WoodByWrightHowTo

it can do well but you have to take your time. it does better with a gradual entrance. often something with steep sides will give you a rough edge. so it depends ont he shape you want.

Is it possible to make the scratcher out of thicker stock, maybe up to 1/8“ or is it limited to a sawbladethickness? I‘ve got some 1090 steel laying around, which could be hardened to a spring temper

It might be very easy to re-use old spade drill bits or hex screw bits as scratchers,some are very hard steel also there are replacable tungsten scrapers for turning that are perfectly round or square that might suit

Thicker is fine. It is just harder to shape. The steel doesn't have to be very good as really hard. Steel doesn't turn a burr quite as well.
