WOODTURNING__HOW TO USE SCRAPERS__part 1 of scraper tutorial

[@kevinseigworth271]

This is the best and most comprehensive explanation and demonstration I have ever seen on this topic.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad to hear that, ☺️ thank you very much for watching

[@changefortanzania]

I agree 💯

[@kaybee2300]

Once again your explanations and demonstrations are excellent and you are probably the best teachers I have seen. Never is there a 'Do it this way because I say so' - there is always explanation of the theory as well as demonstrations as to why.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

That means a lot to me, thank you ☺️

[@orgcoast5990]

I never realized how important a rolled burr is re surface finish. Great scraper videol

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much

[@randydeveau7693]

New to your channel and just wanted to say your videos have been such a pleasure to watch. I always learn something new in each one. Thanks so much!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you,that means a lot to me 😀☺️

[@marcelonascimento7543]

congratulations my friend! for your professionalism, and for your dedication to teaching! to those like me who are starting out in the craft/hobby. Your videos are very educational, and you inspire us to evolve more every day, thank you! A big hug from your friend from Brazil!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you buddy, appriciate that very much and I'm honored to be able to help out ☺️

[@johnnyb95678]

An absolutely excellent and detailed tutorial on maintaining, sharpening and using scrapers. You have included some really great examples and comparisons that have really helped me a lot. Thank you so very much for all you do for the turning community.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Johnny for kind words 🤗

[@claudepotter7763]

Thanks for teaching us out here liked that you showed fron tool rest plain I can see how to use the right angles

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I'm honored to help out

[@johnwolf5288]

Excellent! You are the best turning teacher on the internet. You explain the why and how. One obvious thing I haven't heard you mention is why it is better to use a gouge to rough turn the inside and outside of a bowl instead of doing it all with a scraper. Certainly a fine job can be done with only a scraper, but you and I don't do it that way. John

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much John, I really appriciate that ☺️

[@user-bighughie]

Fabulous tutorial Tomislav...I'm getting better with my scrapers by watching and practicing!! Thanks 👍😊

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad to hear that ☺️

[@wimdejong5399]

Easy to understand and very educational. Thanks Tomislav.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much 🤗

[@victoryak86]

Hey Tomislav, I wasn’t watching many turning vids recently but now I’m getting closer to getting a lathe (finally!). I’m looking at the Record Herald as a starter. So I’m enjoying your videos and teaching again and especially these instructional classes on using the tools. The detailed instruction places you in a very specific group of turners who have a gift of teaching which I appreciate very much. Next best thing to an actual apprenticeship with a master turner.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much for kind words and time you took to watch my videos 🤗 Really appriciate that ☺️

[@haraldmayer8113]

Thank you very much Tomislav, I learn so much from your tutorials, and I strongly appreciate your work, your teachings and your kind telling about your experiences, respect and greetings!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, I'm honored to be able to help out

[@Bootes1]

Tomislav, thank you so much for your excellent tutorials, so much information and experience gratefully received. Thank you.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much 😀

[@gregdownunderinOz]

Fantastic, best tutorial I’ve come across for using and sharpening scrapers for use on bowls. Can you show us how you put that little cut away for putting the bead on your foot with the scraper the use of the scraper for finishing foot I do like , and with the added bead is shear genius. Thanks for sharing Tommi

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I'll do that video as well🤗thanks for suggestion

[@gregc9638]

Excellent instructional video on the scraper. Anxious to see part 2. Thank you for putting it all together.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you 🤗

[@kennylakits4093]

Great video and lesson! I have had issues with scrapers in the past. Especially with bowls! DId some plates today and had great results now that I undersand where I was going wrong with traditional scrapers and Negative scrapers Thank-you

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

So awsome to hear that sir, I'm honored to be able to help out

[@jackthompson5092]

Great lesson Tomislav.

[@abrodeck]

Hello Tomislav, Thank you again for the detailed and understandable video about the scrapers. I have now built myself the scrapers that Richard Raffan presented in his video about 8 months ago. You provided the basic instructions for building them. With these different scrapers, you have so many design options that I didn't know about before. Your video on how to use the scrapers correctly was therefore a welcome addition. I'm looking forward to the next part. I wish you and your family good luck, health and much success in the new year. Greetings Andreas

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Andreas very much, wish you and your family great new year ☺️

[@MarklTucson]

Great set of videos you are putting together. You have really hit a very good balance between being too simplistic and being too advanced; anyone from beginner to experienced turners can take away usable information from these videos. The scraper video is very timely for me as I am at the point where it is apparent that I now need to build experience with scrapers and add to the limited number of scrapers I have and also get the shapes more usable for more types of turning. The sharpening instructions you provided are excellent.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much 🤗

[@chetkirby4798]

Thank you, this is what I was looking for

[@edwardukleja4583]

Hi Tomislav, a great lesson, I am no longer confused about scrapers. Looking forward to the next video.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Really glad to hear that

[@brianremington5780]

Very much appreciated scrapers have been one of my problemed tools I've pretty much stayed away from them but the explanation about the differences with the bur of really helped explain most my issues I always get the terrible violent grab but now I have a much better understanding.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad I could help out and thank you very much for watching

[@rjford]

Super Explination and demonstration.Thankyou for sharing. I had pretty well settled on neg-rake scrapers from the grinder but you have given me a lot of ideas. I will have to dust off my regular scrapers and give them a try again. Richard....

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Richard, appriciate that ☺️

[@markbarrett2023]

Thank you again, Tomislag for your time making these videos, they are really informative and easy to follow.

Hrest explanation on scraper sharpening and use. Thank you!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much for watching 🤗

[@spencero1906]

Thank you Tom. I can’t wait to get to my shop and practice. I have watched many of your videos now and am well convinced, you sir could get nice shavings from pretty much any tool, even a worn out old toothbrush 😅😅😅

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

😂😂 haven't try tooth brush, maybe for next video 😀 thank you very much and let me know how practice is going

[@racheldray1057]

Thank you for this. I have a rounded scraper so far and have been using it. I like it very much but as a novice don't always get it right! This is really helpful. I will save up and get another one soon.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Rachel ☺️

[@gregs5744]

Just superb. Second to none. You, Richard, and Reed Gray have really opened my eyes to the utility and use of scrapers, along with the skew one of the most maligned, misunderstood, and underutilized woodturning tools. I have made many scrapers using M2, M35, M42, and even Tantung G (you should try it as it holds an edge forever and can be very aggressive for roughing but hard to find). Wonderful and many thanks.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Greg very much for kind words and support 🤗

[@turnedbysean2023]

Great instructional video! Really enjoying all the information, tips and techniques.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much

[@stephenpeck5076]

Another very informative advice and practical use video for scrapers. As you say a lot of hours practice required to master their use. Looking forward to follow up videos. You are a real go to for beginners like me as you are so clear and precise with your instructions. Many thanks.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir 😀

[@markjupina178]

Again great presentation of the use and sharpening of scrapers! I'm learning so much. Can wait to dive in myself.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad to hear that ☺️

[@mikecanfield8541]

Great explanation of scraper use! I’ve heard, though you didn’t use these exact words, “Every scraper must be used at a slightly negative angle, except in special situations, or you run a high risk of catches”. Special exceptions are to be learned from Tomislav Tomasic, who teaches extraordinarily well!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

That sums it up, 😂 really you should help me write text for video as its really consice🤗 thank you very much for watching and support what I do

Thank you Mike very much 🤗

[@christopherharrison6724]

Ah I now understand why negative rake scrapers don’t catch and also how they would.Thank you

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Awsome,glad to help out ☺️

[@trahtrebor]

Interesting the repurposing of your gouge as a burnisher. I did the same with a 12mm drill bit about 250mm long. Works great.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Basicsly any harden rod will work ok😉 thank you for watching 🤗

[@wrecks2007]

Great info. Thanks for sharing.

[@cobberpete1]

Another excellent Tutorial

[@BobBlarneystone]

I've taken to hollowing and scraping from the far side of a bowl by using a reversible lathe and chuck that locks on the spindle. It's easier on my back and easier to see. Also, a curved tool rest makes it easier too, in my opinion. Of course, the outside of the bowl is done in the conventional manner.

[@stevenhansen8641]

🕶thanks Tomislav Very helpful video

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Steven

[@Doc-nt8hs]

Excellent video as usual, thanks. Any thoughts on using scrapers with green/wet wood? Advice please 😅

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much, its same tehnique, same rules but often you get cleaner surface on wet Wood..... Is there anything specific that bothers you with scrapers on green wood

[@Doc-nt8hs]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Yes, I seem to get pretty bad tear out on the end grain, more than when cutting with a gouge. I will persevere! Maybe roll a burr and play with shear scrape. It’s wet beech btw. And a cross grain bowl.

[@fretless05]

Always good to remember a little physics... the tool will pivot around the point it sits on the tool rest. When the tool is pointed up, when the wood pushes it down, the pivot around the tool rest will push the tool into the wood and you get a catch; when you're pointing downward, pivoting around the point of contact on the rest will move the tool away from the wood, which is safe!

[@alanneel2749]

Excellent!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you

[@richardbufton3605]

Brilliant video so helpful

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks 🤗

[@The_Hunter879]

Great tutorial, where did you get them? I can’t find the cryo ones 😅

[@braytonbailey3782]

So in the last part on that bowl you were going all the way up the wall with the standard scraper with the hook, right? I really enjoyed this video, trying to improve with the scraper.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I think so, its been a while since I posted this video, I Usually go with gouge half way down and the rest I do with scrapers, on outside I usually use scrapers to get finish surface all the way up

[@iancompton6961]

great video - good content well presented.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you

[@SuperCruelworld]

Thanks again for a great tutorial. I have had those catches you mentioned, ouch. I have been turning about two years at this point. What I found works for me is to move the rest in as tigt as posible and to hold a few degrees negative. I noticed that you are overhanging the rest by more than the depth of the bowl. Can you address destance from rest to bowl?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Sorry to hear about catches , unfourtually they are part of the learning curve but Nevertless be carefull.... I'll try in videos adress gab between tool rest and wood as well🤗

[@DavidBird-uu8km]

Very nice another great video Thanks for all the information. What grit is you diamond wheel?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you David, its cbn wheel b91 grit code, manufacturer says its 100 grit but on other sites some say its 180 grit.... So from 100 to 180 grit....

I had my first big end grain scraper catch just a few days ago, working on the outside of a large-ish red oak bowl . Wow. Don't try that at home - or anywhere else! Note to self: Pay attention!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Indeed, be carefull 😉 thank you for watching

[@ianbedwell4871]

What grit is your wheel please?

[@ShevillMathers]

I think it is 180 or coarser, it is mentioned in an earlier video. I have found that paying a bit more for a good make CBN wheel is well worth it. I have two cheaper ones from Amazon, not a patch on a good wheel from a good wood turning supplier.

[@ShevillMathers]

I think it is 180 CBN or coarser, it is mentioned in an earlier video. Buy a good known brand from a wood craft supplier, not eBay, been there, done that, wasted my money on two eBay CBN wheels. Best wheelI bought was from Vicmarc 8” 240 CBN, a whole new experience, believe me. Wide wheel with an additional flat side and square corners. Good wood turning retail stores have excellent products.

[@michaelstraws2544]

Thanks again for a very helpful video. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Its b91 grit code, manufacturer of that wheel says its 100grit but on other sites they state that b91 is 180 grit, so from 100 to 180 grit
