    Homemade hand tools

    Yesterday I got a little adventurous, threw caution to the wind and instead of buying some tools, I made my own. I first made a cabinet scraper. I had to clean up the metal a little. After I got the metal almost all nice and shiny I had to make an edge on one side. I slapped a file in a vise...

    Ice Scraper Christmas presents

    Here’s a gift idea that works well for people living in the icy windshield prone areas. The 19” long handle makes it easy for short people to reach over the SUV hoods of today. The wood is 7/8” thick, 5” wide and 19” long. The bandsaw kerf is from a coarse-toothed .025” thick blade. The...

    New to me the best wood scraper in the world

    New to me, my dad who is not a avid woodworker told me how my grandpa used it to make tool handles and all kinds of wooden stuff including spoons. I'm wondering why no one here has ever told me about the best wood scraper in the world? I'm putting my card scrapers in the junk drawer because they...

    Using a Large Scraper on Flutes / Spindles

    I turn a lot of spindles and flutes. I havent ventured onto bowls yet but that is coming. Anyhow I wonder if when I have just about gotten the flute to the size I want if a large scraper would help with the last light cut and finish and maybe a little easier. I know developing the skill with...

    Need Wide Scraper

    I am looking to buy, make or swap (for metal to make or the scraper itself) for a wide scraper to use to bring the finial dimensions very close on flutes or spindles. I do the majority of the work with my Ewt rougher and it works really well. I just need something wide to have a good consistent...

    Square end scraper magnetized?

    I just bought a Crown square end scraper. As I started to use it today I noticed it would snap down on the tool rest like a magnet. It was strong enough that you had to pull up slightly to break it free. I need to know how to demagnetize it.

    Veritas scraper burnisher users out there?

    I took Steve Coles most excellent advice on getting a Veritas scraper burnisher for turners as below..... http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=2&p=20266&cat=1,330,49233&ap=1 ....and it has opened an entirely new door for me to use my scrapers for 220 grit finishes. Thank you Steve. I was...

    A card scraper?

    I admit that I know enough about turning to be dangerous. I crank up my lathe about once every 3 months. Not enough to stay in practice. I've been playing with a bowl I roughed out about a year ago. After throwing out of the lathe twice and glueing it back together it became a practice piece...

    Card Scraper Holder

    I asked here and did about 30 minutes of googling and couldn't find a good design for a scraper holder. So, as usual I just did what I thought might work. It still needs a pretty shirt and tie but it works like a Wall Street Banker. Just scrapes a little off the top. I'll round the...

    Scraper Burnisher

    I got some scrapers as a stocking stuffer for Christmas. I'm just getting around to learning to sharpen them. Since I didn't get a burnisher, I am wondering if I can make one out of a 3/8-inch X 12-inch shank of an Irwin spade bit. I hit a nail with the bit, so it is toast. Is the drill bit...

    LN Scraper Plane

    Okay, so I have been slowly growing my fine handtool collection - partially because I enjoy the satisfaction that handworking wood gives me and partially because I have very young children that can't nap through power tools running in the basement! :eusa_naug Anyway, on to my questions...

    Card Scraper Fence

    I saw this trick somewhere and remembered it as I was needing to refinish some Oak trim around a countertop. The Oak trim was waterstained around the sink and dishwasher and looked pretty ragged. I needed to scrape off the 12 y/o poly finish and reapply a new seal coat. Start by sawing...

    New Plane Blade & New Scraper

    I bought a new blade for my new Veritas Foreplane. I wanted to put a radius on the edge of one and keep the other straight. It took me a few hours to get it right but I finally did it. I tried it out on a piece of wide scrap and it worked really good. The radius kept the edges from gouging...

    Must be a trick to using a bowl scraper

    Was turning a bowl, I glued some scrap walnut and birch together, was going great, started smoothing the inside with a bowl scrapper, kept catching, finally tore the bowl out. (Was 1/4" thick wall, so not too thin). Wondering, if I used the right glue, yellow wood glue, and maybe got too...

    I need a lesson in card scraper sharpening

    I recently bought a card scraper but have not attempted to sharpen it yet. Is there someone in the Triangle area who would be willing to demo the process if I dropped by your place?

    Stanley #12 scraper blade

    Hello friends, I was wondering if you fine people knew of any place I could purchase a Stanley #12 scraper blade. I looked at the usual WW places on the net and the closest one was from LN using one of their #112 blades. It is is only 2 7/8" wide. The slot of the one I just purchased (stole it...
