I've done a limited amount of scratch stock profiles and what I use is a high carbon cook's griddle scraper which is very hard and about 1/16" thick. I just clamp the guide to the rectangular scraper. Trying to put a small burr on it seems to help. But what I really want to say is great video - well thought out and done. Should have way more views, IMO.

Thanks very much! That's a good idea using the griddle scraper, thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!

Nice work! I like the stamp :) For cross grain it is critical to always “go downhill”

Thanks. Now I know how to do that!!!

That's great! Glad the information was useful!

Man, those are some nice scratch stocks! mine are just pieces of scrap with a saw cut about halfway down and one screw near the scraper to hold it in place. Very cool!

That looks great! For the blade did you just shape it square to the face, then flatten the face to make a crisp 90 deg or is it more like card scraper with a bit of a hook?

Yep! That's exactly what I did! Thanks for watching!

Nice work, love your use of hand tools and they're obviously nice and sharp. Using various increasingly finer grades of emery tape wrapped around shaped formers, you could probably hone and lap the narrow cross face of the cutter to a really high finish. It would be a fiddly task. Then lap the flat faces and get that to the same level as that curved chisel you're using. It might, with light cuts, handle the curly cross grain better. Not trying to be smart or a pain in the butt, as far as I know, the tool you're referring to at the beginning of the video, is pronounced r-out-er, not root-er. Anyway, nice content and worth more views.....👍

Thanks for watching and commenting! You're right about the lapping, that would work well. As for the word router, in American English it is pronounced "rout-er" but in England, Australia, Wales and Japan, just to mention a few, it's pronounced "rooter." I live in Japan, so I tend to use British English pronunciations for certain words. Here's a link fyi. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lJebm66edqzVfrg.html

@@TenonsTenors I can see how the welsh is skewed, with the accent, having said that, I live in Australia, and I've never ever heard anyone prounounce this tool as anything but, r-out-er...... I could be wrong......
