How to use Special Woodcarvers Scrapers

[@claybowser698]

Thank you. I am a huge fan. I have all your books and I've utilized them quite a bit. I really appreciate your style of woodcarving education. The intricate photos and close up details of your tools and techniques are most helpful.

Thanks Chris this is really useful, I regularly use modified shoe knives, and old putty knives as scrapers but this is a good inexpensive alternative

Plunging the HSS creates micro-fractures. It's better to just let it cool slowly. 😎

@archiehebron8944 - Thanks for that point. I think I didn't make it clear in the video but I frequently dip the hacksaw blade in the water as I grind it, to keep metal cool; I never let the metal get more than hand warm.

@@woodcarvingworkshop I wondered about that as I watched. I know that I use a high speed grinder and my tools frequently get a small amount of bluing but that's no trouble as long as I don't shock them.
