(Conventional) Scraping

At one end of the spectrum, scrapers can take feather-even powder-like-shavings, making them excellent tools for refining the shape and surface of our work. On the other end of the spectrum, they can be used for heavy hollowing, especially in situations where we have reached the limit of our cutting tools. Like a relief pitcher, scrapers can pick up and finish a job where the cutting tools left off.
Being able to be effective with scrapers, however, requires a clear understanding of the difference between cutting and scraping. After explaining the difference between cutting and scraping, we take a look at how to use and setup a scraper. Then we'll see how scrapers interact with the various grain orientations.

So much end grain turning on youtube so little of it with scrapers, thank you

[@kookyflukes9749]

Every new turner should watch this series on turning chisels. Everything now makes more sense. I can't thank you enough.

[@delancyj67]

I've been watching woodturning videos on KZbin for years but 2020 is the first time this popped up. It was way more insightful and informative than most of the others vids on scrapers. Thank you.

[@joeoleary5346]

Great job, Brian. I have watched thousands of turning videos and yours are at the top.

[@frankaloia]

These are the best videos I've seen online about how and why to best engage your tools to the work. I love this stuff!!

[@123HURST]

Thank you Brian Very good explanation of conventional scraping, I understood every word. Thank you from those of us who are struggling beginners.

[@johnfromnewjersey9720]

Your videos are the best teaching woodturning videos on KZbin. You explain the why and how of all woodturning operations. Beginning ( and maybe some experienced} woodturners should watch all your videos. Thanks for taking the time to help all woodturners!

[@hamandeggs1940]

Brian your videos are the best learning tool on youtube keep up the good job steve

[@JontoDickens]

Another comprehensive look at a useful technique for most turners! Cheers Brian

[@Lee-qp6gf]

Brian, thanks for the video on this subject. When one gets down to it to understand the grain change ups this makes a lot of sense. You do a very good job on these videos. cheers, Lee

[@gsw444]

Brian, I think your series on all of the cutting tools is great. Most of my woodturning education has been from you and many of the other KZbin experts. Thank you and keep up the great work! Greg.

[@RootedInThePastWoodworking]

Brian, I was pointed in your direction for your "very informative videos". Needless to say, no disappointment here! Thank you for this gem. I'll definitely be watching your others.

[@zippy3711]

Very good teacher. This is the guy to watch.

[@samuronkanen1307]

Thanks Brian. Good info for a novice like me. I have two scrapers: one half inch that came with a set of 6 Sorby gouges and the got a heavy duty 1 inch round. Also using two skews as scrapers. Lot to learn and there are not so many scraper videos so thanks again!

[@kevingeaney7741]

As usual Brian your analysis of the technicalities is wonderful. Because I now understand the process I can work out the best approach in every case. To offer the 12th opinion out of ten so to speak, I like to distinguish between a burr (as in a cabinet scraper) and the "wire edge" one gets straight from the grinder. The burr being the actual bent metal of the ponit turned up. Also I believe it best to remove the old burr in either case because the second attempt to raise the burr causes the old burr to form a curl with its sharpest edge now facing back towards you rather than towards the wood. I may be wrong I haven't studied it in detail. Thanks as always.

I rub the top of the scraper with a diamond hone, over time this has create a slight negative rake. But it is very quick and produces a very fine edge.

[@MrDancampbell60]

Very informative, thanks Brian.

[@bryanmccabe3632]

you are well spoken,thanks ,BM

[@icespeckledhens]

Some interesting ideas James

[@severinosilva9056]

FRENDS LIKE. A TUTORIAL NOTE 10. CONGRATULATIONS. FROM BRAZIL. GOOD LUCK.

[@gdaruda]

Brian you make the best instructional vids, Well explained about different angles and wood grains.. I made my own 1/2 x 1/2 scraper and I use that tool the most as I turn tall long necked vases 12-16" and gouges are not usable when I get in there. I thought there must be something wrong with me when most pple are using gouges and I'm using home made tools and I'm going to stick with'em.

[@eachaval]

Great video. Thanks.

[@harmonicamans]

Great video. New at this. Thanks.

[@GeraldJensen]

I have had good results with a Veritas Scraper Burnisher ... fewer trips to the grinder, less steel on the floor, and quicker way to raise/renew the burr.

[@BHavensWoodworker]

+Gerald Jensen I will have to order one from Veritas to try it out.

[@Ivan_Baev_45]

I subscribe to your channel. You are a great master

[@kevinburrows1705]

Very informative 👍

[@m.rajesh5004]

Very useful video. Thank you sir

[@anch1994]

Hi Brian, Have you thought about making a video about hollowing with a spindle gauge? (goblets for example) Considering your knowledge I think your video would help us new woodturners a lot. Great video as always! Thanks, Antonio

[@BHavensWoodworker]

+Terra Anch I had originally planned to include scraping with (the wing of) a gouge with the the videos on scraping, but at some point I realized that there is enough material there to warrant a whole video on all the ways a turner can scrape with a gouge. It is on the list!

[@anch1994]

I'm aware that there a lot of videos regarding this topic out there already, but considering that you're the only woodturner so far that does a REALLY good job of demonstrating different cuts from different angles, I just thought that your video would provide more useful information regarding this topic. I'll be waiting for the video, thanks for the response!

[@anch1994]

Brian Havens I'm aware that there a lot of videos regarding this topic out there already, but considering that you're the only woodturner so far that does a REALLY good job of demonstrating different cuts from different angles, I just thought that your video would provide more useful information regarding this topic.
