During the Greene & Greene coffee table class I attended a few weeks ago, William Ng gave us an impromptu lesson in scraper sharpening. Fortunately I had my Flip Cam at the ready and captured this tutorial for your enjoyment.

Wow, the best description of sharpening a scraper that I have yet to come across. Thank you for making it so clear and simple.
Mr. Ng I think you are a genius , I've been watching you for 2 years & I have a master craftsman wood turner trying to teach me to sharpen the card scraper. I worked 2 hrs. this afternoon & still didn't get it sharp. Maybe I'll try it again after church just like you did & see what happens. I love your videos.
This guy rocks! Everything he is saying makes perfect sense. Great teacher! Thanks
Very thorough, very understandable. Best presentation I've seen.
He is such a good teacher. What I wouldn't give to spend a day in the shop with him!
Great! Just what I need. I finally got a burnisher and I am anxious to get back to my shop and properly sharpen my card scraper.
Sensei - thanks for yet another SUPER instructional!!! If I may toss a hint for your consideration - as you are clearly so influentially positioned by your classes and your EweToob exposure - I'd like to point out something that has helped me in my sharpening endeavors: SEEING what you're doing to that edge under a microscope! Clearly YOU know by intuition and experience, but for future demonstration purposes, some sort of super-macro camera or USB-microscope might allow your students to connect the dots quickly.
Nothing like TOOLS to make the job easier - unless it's KNOW-HOW - and I gotta say - it's delightful to watch you demonstrate BOTH!
He’s a great teacher
I've seen a lot of different methods of sharpening a scraper, after searching for a long time I've definitely just found the best way! So easy too 😃
this is a fantastic video. really cool sharpening station as well...
Truly a master!! He reminds me how much I don’t know..... wow!!
Very nice!!!, now I understand how you can achieve the level of skills you own, surrounded by people like William... and I guess many others.
I wish here in Mexico I could find someone to learn from.
Thanks
As always, Ng is amazing.
Mr NG, is amazing!! Great tutorial!
Thank you for this interesting approach. I enjoyed this. I'll see if I can change my technique 48 years later!
Best scraper sharpening video I've seen.
I clicked on this video by accident. I’m an avid follower! It was funny, I was going to go to the next video but I heard your voice and said to myself “OH SH#t, THIS IS THE MASTER! So I watched. Thanks for posting.
Wow. Thank you so much for sharing. Looks like I've been doing this wrong for a while. There are many vids on how to sharpen scrapers, but apparently not very well.
Fantastic training. Worth a 100x the price to learn! :-)
Thank you thank you thank you! Great video. That is one sweet sharpening setup he has there.
I miss Bill's videos, thanks for sharing this Mark.
Amazing
@ronemarshall Well I wouldn't say any of them are "better" so much as they are just different ways of getting the job done. If you don't like sanding, a scraper and/or a smoothing plane will make you much happier. But a smoothing plane can be problematic on wild or figured grain. That's the beauty of the card scraper; its very easy to use.
William Ng is clearly an amazing woodworker, and this method obviously produces quick and excellent results for him - but I've tried it his way, and I can't for the life of me get it to scrape shavings! All I get is dust. If I follow a few other methods and get a more obvious burr, then I can get shavings - but as he eluded to, it doesn't last long before needing to be touched up again...
Wow - Thanks. That was a great demonstration! It's amazing how many bad (as in completely technically incorrect) videos are out there showing "how to use a scraper"
He's a great teacher.
@Mopardude it was during one of his classes, yes.
The man knows what he talks about. There is no substitute for experience.
Best explanation of how to properly sharpen card scrapers I have ever seen! Is this of a class he was teaching or something?
beautiful
thanks for sharing that, really detailed :)
@James66860 Pretty sure he has them for sale in his online store. I believe they are Takenoko.
thanks for this marc and William i knew i was doing something wrong.
Very useful! Thank you!
The master
@TheWoodWhisperer Thanks bud.
Hi,
I have never used a burnishing tool to hone my card scraper. I’m tempted to use my old kitchen Wusthof honing steel. What do you think? It’s no longer used in food preparation.
Thanks
The teacher is a smart man.
great video i would love to have a meeting with him he knows what is hi on about i am sure he would show you a few tricks to make the job easer
very cool!
Is it better to go ahead and just use a scraper than a hand plane and sander then?
I'm getting into woodworking and have bought 4 sanders now and they work great but if there is a quicker and better way then I'm all for getting on the same page with that lol.
I followed your instructions to the letter and yet I could not achieve the edge that you get. When I scrape all I get is sawdust not shavings like you. Don't know how you can help but I'd appreciate anything you could offer thank you
Just when I thought I didn’t have anything else to sharpen. :)
An old engineers scraper makes a great burnisher.
+Jim Davis, I made my burnisher many years ago from a chunk of 1/2" HSS drill rod. I chucked it up in my wood lathe and gave it a very nice polish then stuffed it into a wood handle.Use as large a radius as you can get so as to not be so abrupt in the way it extrudes the steel of the scraper (it is more gentle on the edge).
Wow, sometimes youtube is creepy. Just yesterday I had a scraper in my hands. I didn't know how this thing is called (not even in german, which is my native language). I just found it in an old toolbox and used it to remove some glue residues. It did OK (and I doubted if I used it correctly - now looks like I did) but definitely could have been sharper.
And what happens today? "Scraper Sharpening" ... 2nd entry in the related list of one of your other videos. Spooky!
nice
Really it's the same methodology. But instead of dragging a straight edge against the stone, you're rotating a curved one. It's hard to get every part of the curved scraper sharpened to perfection but you just do your best and then leave the rest to the burnisher.
On a different note. Did Japanese carpenters traditionally use card scrapers or an equivalent tool?
I believe card scraper is a western invention. And William Ng is probably a Chinese American.
I'm sorry, what's the name of the small stone you use to create the slurry on the polishing stone? I can't make it out from the video. Fantastic instruction. Thank you!
Nagura Stone.
So that's what those things do. I've been using mine to get gum off table bottoms.
wish i knew how to work wood
oldschool
SORCERY!
35 x Oh nice .. 1x oh wrong button :)
