I’m a third generation high end furniture maker , I have been making dust for 54 years plus and still breathing and making furniture. I’m very impressed with your tutorials, you have a knack for explaining every detail that is precise and easy to grasp. I’ve taught. Many classes over the years and your KZbin videos are great. I recommend them to a lot of Woodworker’s , novice and long time pros, Keep on keepin on .michael pratt woodworking

Thank you! I've been a weekend woodworker for 40 years and I've tried dozens of times to use the card scraper. I read magazine articles, watched KZbin videos, bought jigs,and never got anything but dust. Tonight, I followed your instructions step-by-step. For the first time, I was making shavings, not dust. I was able to clean up some figured maple I would otherwise have had to spend hours sanding. I cleaned up planer and joiner marks easily. Now all I need is one of those card holder gadgets; my thumbs need a rest!

This is excellent. I suggest watching this and Paul Sellers’ excellent video in the subject because there’s much to learn from both. Personally, I think Paul’s simple method for holding the scraper is safer (I’ve always been concerned about bearing down with the burnisher with that much edge exposed), but I like Stumpie’s explanation of the details. Regardless of which method you use, it takes far less time to do it than it does to explain it!

Old saw blades are good sources for scraper material. You might have to temper the steel if it’s too hard, but that’s easy.

Thanks for all the great stuff you and the crew put out here Stumpy. Taking the time to teach is a noble effort and is to be commended.

Your upbeat attitude and comic timing make this channel and your website a true pleasure to watch and share with others. God Bless

Thanks for taking the time to carefully document this method, Stumpy. I worked for months on this method about thirty years ago when a expert woodworking friend visited my shop as I was burnishing a scraper and gave me a lesson. Ever since that visit you can put me firmly in the "Use the burr from the file" column, but not the burr raised from jointing the edge. I knock the burr off after jointer using the file and then turning the file so that the teeth are 90 degrees to the edge give it a couple strokes. Give that burr a shot and realize that it can be restored in less than twenty seconds. I'd love it if you would give this method a try for a few projects and see what you think. As always, very entertaining. Scott

Outstanding video. I have yet to purchase any card scrapers due to being intimidated about the sharpening and burnishing process. I will certainly come back to this one in the near future once I purchase a few. Question for you: how could I incorporate my WorkSharp system with this? I know you have one as well and I'd love to not have to buy water stones. Thanks!

old handsaw blades make a scraper... but putty knives are very easy to get a good hook on and work very well.

I have a worksharp with grinder attachment. You could use it for the first stage of this process, but I usually just do this with a file. I think it is worth having at least one diamond plate sharpening stone.

Your burnisher looks like mine from CROWN. Mine does not have a smooth rod; you can see and feel what appear to be fine screw threads for the full length. They can be felt with a finger nail and feel them grab the scraper. QUESTION- is yours like that? I have two brand new and identical from Taylor Tool. Thanks, Jim.

Great video but everyone always says how cheap a card scraper is and they are right. What they don't tell you is how expensive it is to keep them sharpened! I couldn't believe the price of some of those stones and jigs!
@StumpyNubs4 жыл бұрын
The stones I use are nice, but you can do this with an inexpensive water stone (as long as you maintain it) and a block of wood to help hold it square. A mill file isn't expensive either, and neither is a burnisher.

Great instruction... I have noticed the similarity of a Knife Steel and a burnisher... could a steel be used?

Most "knife steels" have ridges on them, which makes them unusable as a scraper burnisher.

stumpy..........you got me interested in sharpening and using my scraper........is there a certain thickness you like best or would recommend......the scraper i have now is .035 ,,,,,very difficult to bend....thanks......
@StumpyNubs5 жыл бұрын
Thickness is a matter or personal preference. Thinner scrapers are easier to bend and won't tire your hands as easily. But the more you bend it, the more aggressive (and narrower) the cut. So very thin, easy to bend scrapers are likely to scoop out the surface of the board more.
@beepIL5 жыл бұрын
I dunno mate, the shank of a good quality drill bit does the job of a burnisher just fine for me... Never got to buying a burnisher, and i don't really see the need, The steel of whatever you use as a burnisher only need to be stronger than that of the card, even if the scraper card is using a good quality hard steel, it is most likely weaker than the shank of a drill bit... and that would be enough to use it as a burnisher

would you recommend this to remove wood imperfections? I have scratches on an unfinished live edge slab I'd like to remove. Curious if this would do the trick.

Depends on how deep the imperfections go. It may take a lof of scraping if they are deep. In that case, a plane would be better.

Just wondering ... thinking .... Have seen so many videos, similar to yours. Read that so many, including myself, have at least initial difficulties getting a working edge on a scraper. Then reliably being able to reproduce same. Seems to me.... most of my frustration comes from simply not being able to actually SEE what I'm creating in the sharpening process. Everybody sharpens, then tries, and if sawdust, try again. If shavings ... you did good. So, perhaps if we could actually SEE what we're doing, that is see the edges we've made, we might 1) KNOW if we have proper edge and 2) most importantly, if it isn't right, try again, learning from what the incorrect edge shape was knowing what we did to mess it up! Otherwise ... we're just working in the blind, guessing. Hence, the notoriously 'mysterious' difficult process we see. I'm thinking, wondering too, maybe a loan of the kid's microscope set might be useful??? Or, perhaps actually buying an inexpensive microscope??? Just a thought ... hint? ... Ideas, thoughts?
