I need a lesson in card scraper sharpening

[Tar Heel]

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?

It's not too difficult to do if you know how to go about it. I've found this video to be quite helpful -

If you don't mind the drive I'll be happy to show you how I do it. My scrapers could use a good sharpening.

Hi,
The WoodWisperer has a great episode on how to sharpen one. Episode 14.

I bet someone here will have some pointers as well.

Best,

Mark

I think that is one of the subjects that Bill Anderson teaches. It would be money well spent- you get to learn from a "world class expert." Last year, I took his plane making class. He is just south of Chapel Hill.

I am pretty close to you in Pittsboro, I would be more than happy to show the the process. I get back from my frozen north travels on the 31st. -1 Deg F Spokane WA

Thanks for the info guys. I will check out the videos and if I need more help I might take DaveO or DavidF on their offers to stop by. Thanks again.
