Very helpful and easy to understand. Scrapers have remained a mystery to me and no longer. Thank you!

Man…. This video is packed with great information. I just love that simple wooden sled for filing the curved edges 90 degrees. The Devil is always in the details!!

Any suggestion on how to use a card scrapper with 1 hand. I been wanting to try them out

[@Subsonic-cd2en]

William Ng does something similar with card scrapers. I've tried it... and failed. This is NOT as easy as it looks! Great video!

[@ahmetcomlekcioglu2671]

You are right. Scraper sharpening is I guess is the most difficult tool sharpening process of all. But with trial and error, I think you can do it. Just be careful on the steps that he is taking and be careful in what degree he holds the tools to sharpen the scraper. Best of luck!

Love the idea of the sledge. Please do a follow-up on the details and size etc.

[@FineWoodworking]

All of that is covered in the next issue of Fine Woodworking Magazine (#271).
