Great video, thank you, I often use a piece of broken glass as a scraper, you can soon get used to breaking/cutting a piece of glass in the right way to make a really good scraper, thanks again keep 'em coming and be lucky

Thanks, I've never heard of glass being used for a scaper before, but it makes sense it would work it only really needs a sharp edge.

Thank you for another excellent video!

Thanks glad you enjoyed it

I almost always use scrapers on every project as the final touch for torn grain or planing/chisel/pencil marks. I use the card scraper with the heal of my hand for the pivot as my thumbs simply don't have the strength. As you said they het hot and have ended up with burn blisters on my hand. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for sharing your use of scrapers

I used a card scraper for the first time on my last project and it was a lot of fun. I picked up a No 80 recently so I'll be looking for the video on how to "sharpen".

Scrapers are definitely a fun tool to use. The video on the No 80 cabinet scraper should be coming out next week.

Good comparison & grief tutorial, thank you! Said differently, you're reviewing scrapers used to smooth wood. The others are to remove glue, stickers, etc.

Thanks. I believe the cabinet scraper is relatively new to Melbourne Tool Company's line up, so far it seems pretty decent

I like your reviews!

I was surprised how hot scrapers get in use, when I first started using them. I now use a Veritas holder as much to help deal with the heat as anything else (though not having to sustain the bend with my thumbs makes things easier too). I also have a cabinet scraper. For quick touch ups I use a bare scraper. For bigger jobs - especially on non-flat surfaces I'll use the card plus holder. For large flat areas, out comes the cabinet scraper.

I was surprised the first time i used a card scraper too how hot they get. I hadn't used a scraper holder, i might have to look at making or buy one.

This video was the opposite of scraping the bottom of the barrel. My Mum loves a good burr on Mothers Day.

So i guess it scraped the top of the barrel then?

Was that the new MTC cabinet scraper? I've got the succubus card currently but need to learn how to sharpen it properly so looking forward to that video

@AussieWoodshed

2 ай бұрын

yes, that is the new MTC cabinet scraper, i will get around to doing a review on it at some point, seems really well built. I already released the card scraper video on Sunday, but forgot to link it at the end of this video which i have corrected now (thanks for the reminder)

Are you familiar with a spokeshave and is this a different type of scraper or a plane?

@AussieWoodshed

3 күн бұрын

The spokeshave has a blade rather than a burnisher hook so it cuts the wood instead of shaving. It is more closely related to a hand plane than a scraper. The spoke shave was traditionally used to shave spokes on wagon wheels, whereas the scraper is used to put that final finish on a furniture piece before adding finish or dealing with grain tear out. Hope this helps.

After this video, a scraper plane is really looking like a valuable piece of kit. Hmmmm. Is it worth the effort and cost to find one?

@AussieWoodshed

Only you can answer that question, i find them useful especially for getting a very fine shaving of timber with lots of reversing and notty grain . I will have a dedicated video on the scraper plane coming out in a few weeks, if that gives you more information.

I can’t get success on radiata pine. Is it me or the pine?

@AussieWoodshed

2 ай бұрын

Sometimes I've found the pine can be too soft, but more i find its usually the burr is too big on the scraper. For pine i find a smaller burr works best which i do by applying less pressure when using the burnisher

I'm an old hand now but to be honest, I've never been a fan of card scrapers - yes, they work well but hmm, I just don't like them. As for any round shaped scrapers, I have no time for them. I like my number 80 because you know what you're getting. To put it bluntly, I have - and make - card scrapers...but I don't like them!

I'm a bit in the same boat as you, i prefer the cabinet scraper or the scaper plane as they both give more reliable results than a card scraper.
