Sharpening the Card Scraper for Woodworking
Вставка

- Card scrapers are one of the most versatile tools in the furniture shop, but sharpening them seems like voodoo for so many woodworkers. This is a demonstration of the simple, repeatable, process we use in our shop to sharpen card scrapers.

This is by far, for me, the most comprehensive tutorial on the subject. I have failed miserably until now, but Sir, you have given me back my faith in me. Thanks!
Nice stuff...you have a good presence and attitude...thank you.
Very good job. I have been using scrapers for 25 years and still found this video full of useful stuff.
UA-cam is a great resource, but I have seen so many different videos on this and this is the one that made the most sense. There seem to be a lot of videos on how to do things wrong.
It is such a pleasure to watch and listen to someone who knows exactly what they are doing and can explain it quickly and simply. Can't wait to try this myself. Thanks
This is the best scraper sharpening video I have seen. Thank you. George
A very clear demonstration of preparing and using a card scraper
thanks for pointing out the fact that diamond stones are better for this than water stones because they will not get grooves worn in them. that is important.
Thanks Daniel! I used your method of sharpening and my scraper is working better than ever. Appreciate it!
wow ! i learned more from the 2 vids of yours than i did watching a dozen others
thank you
Just bought my first scraper set, and your tutorial was great; short and simply explained. I've meant to get a scraper as a compliment to my planes and sanders for certain jobs, and now I'm glad I did. Thanks!
The stone is a 10" DMT Duosharp with course (400 mesh) one one side and fine (600) on the other. It has seen many years of hard use so the round holes are a bit obscured and discolored but they are there. For initial flattening of the scraper's faces you can use the course side if necessary, followed by the fine side. After that you will only ever need the fine side. Thanks for the comments!
Absolutely the best method and video on UA-cam! Im making the jigs and buying the stone and scraper now. Could you please recomend your Favorite Scraper?!?
I think you should have shown burnishing with your burnishing rod because not everybody has a carbide router bit.
Thanks for the video
What a brillent explain skils how to use properly the scraber. Thanks for the tips idea.
Great video! Thanks for sharing, I look forward to seeing more.
Thank you
Nice job explaining how a scraper cuts and how to sharpen. You've inspired me to try another method. I love the results once you get a good edge, but have had a difficult time getting a consistent burr.

Thanks for such an informative piece. I'm sure to do a much better job sharpening my scrapers. Learned quite a bit in this short video. Thanks again.
thanks for that. my card scraper needs sharpening.
Excellent, clear and concise explanation. Thanks!
Thank you for watching and let us know if the process has worked for you.
Very well done - clear and easy
Great video. Very well done, thank you so much ! Regards.,
EXCELLENT TUTORIAL. VERY GOOD. FROM BRAZIL, MY FRIEND.
Thorough. Excellent points.
It's all very interesting and enjoying to watch. No a woodworker myself, even remotely. But just checked it out with just a normal kitchen knife - works quite well, but then I just took a 30 cm. flexible metal ruler - and it just worked as a magic! I did not sharpened it, just tested as it is :)
Thank you for sharing these very helpful tips.
Very helpful, thank you!
That transition at 5:10 scared the sh*t out of me
Subscribed with full notifications. Great contents. Thanks for sharing. (note: the audio of the voice is coming out only from my left speaker, music at end coming out from both speaker, in this video and in the previous one on how to use a scraper)
Very useful. Thanks. I’ve been doing it wrong. No wonder I thought it was a rubbish tool.
what's the difference between a diamond stone that has holes in the surface than a stone that doesn't b/c the one with the holes are more expensive. what the advantage.
What do you recommend for the most efficient thickness of the scraper. I found that the thicker the scraper doesn't necessisarily work better and it's a stain on my hands. Are the thinner scrapers just as good. Thanks for the great video.
Great video!
Amazing, thanks!
Hi; Great video. One Question. What is the Diamond Stone. It looks like a 10 Inch DuoSharp® Bench Stone, but I don't see the little round mesh holes in this brand of plate to accept the swarf. Thanks.
Very informative, great vid.
Hi, Do you recommend to slice the Scraper into a kind of a Wooden Scraper holder to handle the unit without any chance to get fingers burnt and to help in turned it over too ? Thanks
11:40 "You will make a bowl" hahaha
Does it have to be a thin flexible piece of metal? I am not having much success getting a cutting burr. Just getting sawdust and the occasional tiny little shaving
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. By the way, are you Jack's brother? I think we met during a Derby many years ago.
feed me more. great info
Where can you get a wood scraper? or do you just make them?
No windex or lubricant for the diamond stone?
"place all 8 fingers on the scraper. If you have a table saw, you can use 6 or 7"

Perhaps a camera with a zoom. js
subbed!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Why is the kerf necessary in the burnishing jig (8:37)? I would think that the WC bit protruding from the face of the block would suffice.
You could use the side since the angle is the same, but it's pretty difficult to keep the face of the scraper against the block consistently, which is the whole point. The kerf is easy to cut and results in much more reliable sharpening.
Hah, kind of creative different approach
I feel like I’d need about $800 in tools to sharpen my $6 scraper.
how
So, you don't burnish by hand due to lack of talent. Got it.
+ardvarkkkkk1 Remarkable interpretation. The jig he showed is far faster and more consistent than doing it by hand. I'm glad I saw this video because now I won't procrastinate sharpening my scrapers so much. It's an excellent tip. Try watching it when you aren't high and see if it makes more sense then.
Yes, faster and more consistent, for those with little talent.
Well you sure showed me. I am thoroughly convinced. I am humbled by your competence in all areas of life, from woodworking to smoking weed. I wish I could be like you. I'll have to be content just knowing that we had this interaction. Thank you.
+Jon Miller lol
Can you show us that jig up close?
