How to use the Veritas Variable Burnisher and Comparison to the Accuracy-Burr

[@stevem268]

i've had the variable burnisher and card holder for years, never used them much and now they are in the same imaginary drawer as the LA block plane tote. i will look for them and try them again!

[@BatCaveCreations]

hahaha START SEARCHING!! lol

[@tedcook8749]

Thanks for the refresher- great info and very complete! I’ve been using these for years but it’s been awhile and I really needed this reminder, lots of great knowledge packed in here!- awesome 👏 👍

[@BatCaveCreations]

Thank you!!! Love the feedback!

[@tthomas2705]

Jamie! I love you and Plane Wellness! CIHI represents!

[@BatCaveCreations]

Thank you!!!!!

[@jccote6059]

I bought the full Veritas scraping kit last year and was doing terrible. Can’t wait to try it again!

[@BatCaveCreations]

I was terrible at it when I bought that kit too but now it's so satisfying!!!

[@rolandharrison5651]

Again, Jamie good job explaining both tools. It was what I call down and dirty, a good thing. I did get a kick when you scraped your bench across the grain without raising sweet curls. I like your handles for the acu-burr. You think you might make a video demonstrating an easy method for those of us without a lathe set up? I bought the 1/4 inch one and 1/4 “ compression fittings. They sent 3/8” instead. Again I thank you 🙏

[@BatCaveCreations]

I actually just made a hammer handle this last week. I used files and rasps that's the first time I ever made a handle without the lathe. For the acubur, I would say take a blank and drill the hole first then shape away with files and rasps. Till everything fits the way you like. Then super glue or epoxy it together. I would love to make a video on it but I dont know how soon I'd get to it so I hopefully this helps in the mean time!

[@rolandharrison5651]

⁠I really look forward to seeing it. Thanks 🙏

[@tzuohann]

Your oil from ear earned a subscribe! 😂 But so practical

[@BatCaveCreations]

Hahaha I'll take it! Thank you lol it works too :D

[@GuntherJones]

Your videos are great thanks.

[@BatCaveCreations]

Thank you! Glad you like them!

[@johncbrownmd]

Thanks for another great video. How about the old burr. I have seen a lot of perseveration concerning removal of the old burr prior to establishing a new one.

[@BatCaveCreations]

Ah great point, if the old version is there rub it on a fine stone both sides then hit it with the 0 deg burnisher. I can't believe I left that out :( But.... I RARELY do that. Usually I just bernish again hahah

[@jparson3309]

Great video my friend thank you

[@randygill953]

Now you tell me! Great video.

[@BatCaveCreations]

Haha thank you!!

[@ericwhetstone5383]

When do we get the ear wax vs behind the ear oil video

[@BatCaveCreations]

Hahaha that would be a funny short lol

[@anthonyseiver7000]

I know right. The rest of us just keep 3 in 1 to hand

[@BatCaveCreations]

Haha our ears make free oil tho!!!! Hahahhahah

[@mattdworaczyk1884]

I think I found my problem, I didn't use ear oil! 😂 But seriously, I didn't try oil and I didn't start at zero degrees. I did prep the edge per Wood By Wright prior to using the burnisher.

[@BatCaveCreations]

hahhah ear oil is the KEY! you wanna give it another go? I can send it back tomorrow :D

[@blayne2029]

good video!

[@BatCaveCreations]

Thank you!

Do you feel that the file guide is something you use often or do you just re-do the burr each time?

[@BatCaveCreations]

I use the file guage A LOT. For cards, saws, redoing the bevel on the scraper plane. I've used it on random things too anytime I need a 90 or 45 on metal I reach for it

[@What_Other_Hobbies]

Veritas solution is a great deal.

[@Steve-xt5gr]

How would it work for a scraper plane, where the bladenis thicker?

[@BatCaveCreations]

It works with the thin Veritas iron, same with the thin Stanley, but it won't work on the thick Veritas or the thick LN irons.

[@Steve-xt5gr]

@BatCaveCreations thanks! Been wondering. Is there another option for frustration free burnishing of the thicker irons? Or is the accuburr the best?

[@BatCaveCreations]

@@Steve-xt5gr accu burr deff wins thay battle cus iron size doesn't matter lol

[@Hawkeyelaotzu]

I have an older one with the wood body. Curious about what happens if I apply too much pressure while burnishing which is where I think I have been doing it wrong. I get a very slight burr which disappears quickly. One or two minutes of use. Using it to remove old varnish from an oak chair.

[@BatCaveCreations]

Are yiu working your way up in progression? How thick is the card?

[@Hawkeyelaotzu]

@@BatCaveCreations No idea of thickness. Progression! Right ! Forgot that and will try it now. LOL

[@Hawkeyelaotzu]

Worked better with progression. Got a cheap set I think from ROC. I guess that would be one reason for the burr not lasting. Thanks for the info.

[@BatCaveCreations]

No problem at all!!! I'm glad it helped, check out a diff brand where you can pick thickness that helps too. Less aggressive = thinner. More aggressive = thicker

[@Hawkeyelaotzu]

@@BatCaveCreations Pretty sure I'm doing an aggressive job with a too thin card. Really thankful that you go into all the detail in your videos. Helps a guy like me a lot.

[@maggyinahat]

I just watched this whole thing and have absolutely no idea what any of this is for. What are we burnishing? Why are we burnishing? Why are you scraping the wood?

[@BatCaveCreations]

Hey Maggy! Sorry this was more of a how to use the tool video, so it was geared to people that have one. This tool burnishes cards/card scrapers. They are thin pieces of metal that, once given a burr through burnishing, can be used to Scrape wood. Scrapping wood is helpful in crazy grain where you are getting tare out on a board. Some people like card scraping over a planed surface for finishing. It also helps to Scrape if the piece is small and a hand plane would be tough. Hope that helps

[@JeffOldham-c5e]

save your money,,,i have tried and tried and this will not put an edge on a scrapper reguardless of what they say on here

[@tedcook8749]

Works great buddy, used it for years- go troll elsewhere!
