Hand Scraper Scrap build

[@staxlhax1849]

As an amateur “maker” who also works with reclaimed materials I can confirm that the scales are in fact some sort of “tree wood” hope that clears it up. Love your work.

[@SciFiMind]

The epoxy joke really got me. First time viewer, looking forward to watch some of your others.

[@pjofurey6239]

Enjoyed seeing the rusty unloved become useful life givers. Sweet

[@russtuff]

I laughed at your fire joke and my wife rolled her eyes, not at the joke, but at my reaction.

[@joell439]

That shaper slow-mo was awesome. Just love all this work. Highly informative, outrageously entertaining, and unbelievably inspiring. Thank you. 👍👍😎👍👍

[@hairyfro]

It's a beautiful piece. See how you feel about it when you're 20 hours in scraping your mill, but you should definitely be proud of it.

[@coplandjason]

Very good end result, the "tree wood" made all the difference 🙂

[@homemadetools]

Rare tool build. We shared this video in our homemade tools forum this week 😎

[@SRHacksaw]

Jeremy, next time you want to start with a long irregular piece doing short runs on the shaper (or anything else) you can temporarily affix to the underside of your piece something else that IS straight. After your first pass to clean up the top edge that edge then becomes the reference, and you don't need the second piece any more. You can even use superglue temporarily. It cracks back off with a hammer blow from the side. Or any other temporary method of clamping, fastening riveting, etc .

A scrap sled ski saved by the shaper to make a scraper for scraping scrap 😁 Great job as usual mate 👍

[@ronwilken5219]

Looks like a medieval weapon. Don't ask me what but the wrought texture on the curved bit of the handle lends some elegance to the device whatever it could be. Enough verbal crap. You took a POJ and turned it into something you can use. Well done. Thanks for posting the procedure. Regards from Canada's banana belt. 🤞🤔💩🇺🇲🦃🇺🇦🕊️🍌🇨🇦👍

[@brucematthews6417]

You're rapidly becoming one of my favorites. Love the attitude and presentations. And I gotta admit that it's kind of cool to see the focus on using old scraps of metal. I got a great belly laugh out of the handle bumping the stock on the mill.... Not at the situation, it just way too common in the shop. But the look that would be on your face and the whole "Why Me World?" feeling of resignation.... The same look of collapse I feel when "stuff" like that happens to me too...... :D Keep 'em coming and we'll keep watching.

[@ronwilken5219]

Bruce Mathews, I to had a chuckle at the handle hiting the stock bit. I think he deserves a Murphy's law poster in his shop. Some of his disasters couldn't be "engineered". There has to be a higher power involved and I vote for Murphy. He's certainly prevalent in my shop. I think he sit on my shoulder whispering instructions to my machines that I can't hear.

[@jacobkorzun5894]

First? Really love your videos. Especially the "built from scrap" ethos. Always excited to see you've posted something new!

[@CoolNADO]

I don’t know the algorithm works but this is the exact thing every human needs to imbibe

[@nicolek4076]

Oooh! What a good idea! I needed to scrape something off my hand yesterday. This would have been just the tool. English can be so ambiguous sometimes.

[@kentuckytrapper780]

A work of art, very nice design....

[@joshwhite6947]

I love this build. I got some stable cast iron from a road drain casting I cut up for material. There’s some nice L shapes that make for a great straight edge. I’ll send you a pice if you want. I ain’t ever gonna use it all. 🤙💪

[@JeremyMakesThings]

That would be awesome! Shoot me an email- [e-mail]

[@mumblbeebee6546]

“…makes me feel like a real maker!” - that was the first possibly unkind thing I recall you saying and it was done so sweetly, I am still grinning! That scraper is beautiful, not a piece of art but a piece of craft, and you are a great craftsman. This is highly covetable, I felt the itch of wanting to beg you to sell it to me - and I don’t even own any piece of cast iron machinery. If I ever do (and I dream of it) then I may have to commission you to make me one!

[@JeremyMakesThings]

I gotta throw a little shade sometimes.

[@kennethelwell8574]

@@JeremyMakesThings It thneeded to be said.

[@daviddaddy]

@@kennethelwell8574 lol seriously! the over usage of epoxy and "Epoxy pours" is kind of out of hand! Lol there's a guy on here, well more than 1 guy for sure on KZbin doing epoxy pours, But this person is like the king of epoxy lol and i swear he does nothing! but epoxy work lol i mean, he does make some nice things. But after the first 3 epoxy pours/builds it gets kinda boring to watch. Its the same exact thing over and over again!

[@treeclimbingdayjob]

That may be the first handle i have seen shaped on a YT video that did not use a belt sander

[@adamtheroofer3659]

I love your non-precision, precise toolmaking!

[@myronalexander3093]

Very nice looking piece. Pretty cool.

[@mbs1234567]

You deserve far more subscribers. Love your videos. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Mike

[@CraigAndera]

"Maybe truffula". Ah ha. Hahahah. Excellent.

[@Man-in-da-shed]

“ I feel like a maker” what an understatement. As always a very well put together vid, you certainly caught the essence of a old craftsman tool.

[@MarkATrombley]

Hand scraping is sorcery.

[@ChristophLehner]

Came out really nice 👌 I'd take one

[@trollforge]

That is Gorgeous! I hope it works as good as it looks!

[@zachsmith98]

That’s a really beautiful piece of work. Another great video!

[@kendingsor]

That was a satisfying build.

[@jster1963]

I love the "wagon wheel" effect with the sped-up shaper shots. I figured out how to do that on mine too. Also, I plan to learn how to scrape as well. Keep up the excellent videos.....

[@sierraspecialtyauto7049]

Nicely done.

[@older-wiser-better]

Cool job!

[@therestorationshop]

Outstanding! Awesome to see what the little Rhodes can do. I definitely need to think up a project and have mine do something. I'm very interested in your scraping project on the Index. I'll be starting the restoration of my 100+ year old Hendey horizontal mill and in a perfect world I'd scraped it in as well.

[@Rustinox]

It's almost too beautibul to use it. But an unused tool hasn't any value :) Nice to see you use the shaper. Even outdated, it's still a very useful machine.

[@kennethelwell8574]

It’s not a “reclaimed/live edge/pallet wood/epoxy pour”, it’s called “sustainable”, and it’s classy!

[@jackdawg4579]

Nice little build, I assume you didnt clean the sides off the donour metal because you wanted to keep the look of it, I would to.

[@JeremyMakesThings]

Exactly.

[@backyardmachinist]

To rebuild a machine that large you'd need large surface plates. Do you have access to some?

[@rogerdeane3608]

Hi Jeremy, admire your work. Dose the insert for the scraper have seriel number.?

[@JeremyMakesThings]

I got this one from Hudson machine repair: www.hudsonmachinerepair.com/product-page/indexable-micrograin-scraping-carbide-for-sandvik-holders I believe it’s the same thing as a Sandvik 620-2525

[@camillosteuss]

Rebuilding an old machine is never a fools errand... Old machines can be rebuilt to factory spec and better... Can be upgraded with teflon ways and such and are simply better rebuilt than tossed out for a modern piece of overpriced, well, i wont call any machine junk, but you get my point...

[@therestorationshop]

You can be excused for calling the new stuff junk because, well, it is.

[@garlandtx10]

If you are going to pin it then why epoxy? If you're going to epoxy then why use pins? One is good enough.

[@wanpengqian]

I think epoxy will seal the gap between wood and metal, while a pin is the most strong method to attach the handle.

[@bustednuckles2]

You have quite the imagination and I like that you recycle old scrap. I also thought I loved old machinery but I think you have me beat by a mile. Good Onya.

[@jdmccorful]

I like it too. Thanks for the look!

[@Engineerd3d]

Lovely work.
