This was Mike's last video. It's been almost 4 years already. I hope you are doing well Mike. You were so generous with your vids, especially those on how to restore hand planes. Thank you! It would be nice to hear from you again. Cheers from Germany.
Hi Mike, first up thanks for all your videos. I started watching when the hand planes for ebay series popped up on my computer. Loved it and the way you present yourself and the subject. i have since gone and watched all your videos and loved them all. You are good to watch so I miss seeing your videos a lot. Lock down here in Melbourne Australia, all safe. I hope you stay safe too. Hope to see you back soon. Roger from Melbourne.
just found this channel. currently shining up my planes and blades. collectors would hate me. I'm out to renew and restore and put quality equipment back to use. hope all is well with you as you kinda disappeared. Shine on.
Mike, I look forward to your videos coming out. I enjoy the varied content. Keep it up! I just picked up the MK II honing guide and the Incra I box. Haven't used it yet. But I watch your video again. Take care my friend. 🇨🇦
Hello, Foster. Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to trying out my MKll. I don't think you can go wrong with Veritas. Thanks again for the comment and all the best.
I have this and it works for me too. That said, you dont need this over a rod brnisher and it takes away from knowing your tools. Setting up a scraper whit a file, wheatstone and burnisher will give you a lot better control over the cutting burr at the scraper edge. Veritas has nice tools, some of the best, but they also sell a lot of solutions to problems that doesnt really exist. If you are a beginner to woodworking and have a problem eyeballing 5, 10 or 15 degrees with a 20 cm long burnisher at a straight edge, when you ABSOLUTELY DONT NEED THIS!!! Put some courage and effort to it and I promise you will learn the traditional method in notime, and get the best scraper results ever!
Привет из России! Спасибо за классные видео. Хочется узнать, все ли в порядке у автора канала. Mike, hi from Russia. Thank you for your videos. Are you here? Are you OK?
Hey, Greg. It's nice hearing from you. All's good here. Been busier than most times and not any new shop tools to review. Hope to get back to it soon. A very Merry Christmas to you and yours. Thanks for stopping by
I know this is an old video, none -the- less a few points. Poplar being a "soft" wood isn't a great candidate for scraping. Properly sharpened card scrapers excel on hardwoods. It is VERY advisable to use a light oil as a lubricant for the action between the burnisher and the scraper.
I gotta say, Rick, I was kinda surprised. I think it's well worth the 2 or 3 bucks over the regular. Time will tell how long it lasts. Thanks again and take care.
Hey Mike...... I still have your channel saved and hope to see some shop projects soon. I always enjoyed them. Have a Jesus filled day Greg in Michigan
I make huge shavings with my card scrapers and all I use to burnish is an old craftsman 15 MM box wrench lol my scraper still works better than that crazy looking thing lol

Just checking in to say I hope you are healthy and had a good SoCal summer. 📐🗜📏🤠
Hey wallpropher. Yeah, it has been a long, hot summer but I have a Veritas honing jig I want to show you. All is well here and I thank you.
I bought the Veritas burnisher and a set of scrapers, and YES! It works a dream.
Hey Mike, will we see some Videos from you soon? Greetings from Austria.

Hey, Greg. It's nice hearing from you. All's good here. Been busier than most times and not any new shop tools to review. Hope to get back to it soon. A very Merry Christmas to you and yours. Thanks for stopping by
Great- I need one of those -IVE had the same problem with card scrapers - Thanks...Mike
Hey, Bob. I gotta say the thing really works. Thanks for stopping by.
I know this is an old video, none -the- less a few points. Poplar being a "soft" wood isn't a great candidate for scraping. Properly sharpened card scrapers excel on hardwoods. It is VERY advisable to use a light oil as a lubricant for the action between the burnisher and the scraper.
That's great! Gonna have to look at getting me one!
If you're gonna buy a burnisher, I think this is a good as it gets. Thanks, Pete, and all the best.
Thanks mike for the video and review
you bet. Thanks for watching. All the best.
Mike, I keep wondering about you, hope you're doing well!
Get back in the game!
Hey, Sejje. All's cool here. Been busier than most times and not any new shop tools to review. Hope to get back to it soon. Thanks for the comment.
Nice piece of equipment.
I gotta say, Rick, I was kinda surprised. I think it's well worth the 2 or 3 bucks over the regular. Time will tell how long it lasts. Thanks again and take care.
What does the burnisher register to on the scraper surfaces (work with a wide range of card steel thicknesses)?
Works on three of my sets including a Stanley scraper, which is way wider.
Hey Mike, missing your posts! Hope all is ok.
Hey, Foster. All is well. It's been a long, hot summer out here in Calif. Well be getting back soon. Thanks for the concern.
hey buddy what material is it made of! if plastic do you think it has fiberglass reinforcement in it!
2:41 is where it starts.

How can you honestly review a product if you don't know how to use it properly?
