Sharpening Card Scrapers

[@puddinggeek4623]

Excellent video as always. A great explanation of using/ sharpening this tool which I have just bought. I will only be using it as a coarse tool so I will keep it simple. Keep up the great work.

[@CMRWoodworks]

Excellent info! I just got some card scrapers so it was good for me to hear you basically tell it like it really is. Thanks for the video.

Thanks

An elegant tool for a more civilized woodworker.

[@wortheffort]

But it doesn't require one of those crystals.

[@W1ldt1m]

The Perfect Edge is by far the best sharpening reference I've ever read too. Really a must have.

[@wortheffort]

Yes it is.

I've learn so much from your tips of the day and your book recommendations. Thanks

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

Nice video. My old woodwork teacher taught me to do it your way almost 60 years ago and it worked just fine.

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

Great info in an entertaining video. Thank you! Ordering some card scrapers soon, and now I’ll know how to sharpen them.

[@brianlasch144]

now I'd love to see your take on making cabinet scraper plane.

[@wortheffort]

I have a lovely Veritas one that really isn't much money. So that one isn't in works but... there are a few planes on the horizon.

[@AbamAdy]

thanks for the great tips

[@wortheffort]

Thanks

[@dwightl5863]

I like your way of sharpening. Question: How do you sharpen curved scrapers?

[@wortheffort]

Thanks. Same way, just rotate the card.

[@MRMcCormick]

I notice you didn't turn the hook all the way into the corners. Any reason behind that?

[@wortheffort]

I can't use the corners or ... I don't know how to bend the corner to the curve I like to use when scraping. So no need to have the burr.

[@andrewmiller2868]

Hi, really good video, thank you. Could I use a knife steel instead of a burnishing tool to create the burr?

[@wortheffort]

Thanks, I'm afraid I don't know what knife steel is as far as hardness. You need something much harder than the card scraper and very smooth.

[@Nature_Reclaimed]

Am I correct that I can use any piece of sheet steel as a card scrapper? Is there perhaps a thickness that works best? I don't have a scrapper, and have been seeing them discussed a bit lately, and I've had more than a few episodes of glue interfering with my stain.
Btw, been a huge fan since I came across your "screw the skew" video! I took the challenge, and love using my oval skew now.

[@Bsholder]

go buy putty knive from paint store cheap and work great

[@wortheffort]

Technically ya, any steel. But the ones they make now dedicated to being card scrapers are so nice, and inexpensive.... I've grown to prefer the thicker ones.

[@jocmarti]

I agree. I had a few cut from spring steel and they were ok, but after using a LN scraper they feel like junk.

[@PedroWoodWorks]

Very very interesting!!! Thank you so much. Is correct? Boh... ;)

[@wortheffort]

Thanks. Not sure I understand the question thou.

[@PedroWoodWorks]

wortheffort nothing, only if that i wrote was correct... ;)

[@Bsholder]

like it
