Scraping Planes Part 2: Sharpening and Care

[@738polarbear]

This guy really knows his stuff and explains it well.

How would set up for scraping softer woods such as spruce and cedar? Using both card and scraper planes? Thanks

[@mack2413]

Thank you very much. I appreciate this video very much, as it has fallen to me to restore a 112#

"...a light coating of ??? oil" - I couldn't understand the type of oil he stated. Any help out there? Thanks - Chuck in NE Kansas

camelia oil

[@daw162]

It doesn't really matter what kind of oil. light food grade mineral oil is a better choice than camelia if you aren't always going to have a heated shop - same thing as norton's light honing oil, but when it's sourced for commercial machine maintenance or lubrication, it's only about $15 or so a gallon. My oldest container (about 12 or 14 years old) shows no discoloration or degrading.

Great job Deneb. Who needs dust in the lungs and a high-end extractor? With card scrapers a dust shaving is considered a poor result though? What gives? Shawn f.

I've never seen a more meticulous, fastidious and simultaneously laid-back presentation. I can imagine him explaining equally calmly the procedures he's following while assaulting a machine gun nest!
