This video was spot on for what I was looking for. I recently bought a d way negative rake scraper and I was struggling to put a bur on it with a diamond card. I own a Lee Valley burnishing rod so I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

Great job explaining the negative rake scraper, I just bought a second round nose scraper and I am going to make it negative rake. I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the kind words. Try the negative rake without burnishing first. Then try burnished. You may need to hold the handle a bit higher to hit the sweet spot. But once you get the burnish right and find that sweet spot it will slice like butter. Thanks for watching!!

Excellent work, great info and presentation! You nailed the audio and video, i notice this because im struggling in that department😅. Looks like i have a new channel to binge watch.

Thanks. Maybe I should do a video on making a video? Camera and audio setup is much simpler than you'd think

@ScottsMiniWoodshop sure, I know I'd watch it. I always like when guys go through and do layouts of their shop or work area. No one ever does one of their audio/Video setups.

Great video! I’ve already reground my round nose scraper into a negative rake and it works great. Curious about that skew you used to cut dovetail tenons. Is that a 1/2” skew and is that the angle it came with or did you have to regrind to match the angle of your dovetail jaws?

@ScottsMiniWoodshop Жыл бұрын

Great to hear the negative rake is working for you. Thanks for the feedback. The skew is a, 1/2 inch. I started using the angle it was originally ground to. But over time the angle has changed somewhat. Not much. It's really not super critical as long as it's close to the angle for your Jaws (give or take).

In my former life I was a meat cutter, we would steel our knives not to sharpen but to straighten the edge. Of course the sharper your tools are the result is better. I use that same thinking now 50 years later when working with wood. Thanks for explaining the burr on a scraper, and to everyone who gets that nice knife set with that steel that comes with it you will not sharpen your knives you need grind some metal then hone them. 🥩🔪 And a sharp tool / knife are always the safest.

A sharp tool is definitely safer than a dull one. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

hi, new to this and found video very helpful. A question. Does not the burnishing rod need to be made of a stronger material than the edge? ie carbide against HSS?

@ScottsMiniWoodshop 7 ай бұрын

Great question. If what you're using as a burnishing tool is too soft it probably won't work as expected. I'd say your burnishing rod should be at least as hard or harder than what you're trying to burnish. I had a commercially made burnishing tool I bought many years ago for burnishing card scrapers and it works for me. I have turner friends who use the rounded back of a spindle or bowl gouge. Some people make their own burnishing tool using the smooth shank of an old drill bit. Do you need a carbide rod to burnish HSS? In my experience, no. But if I were making a burnishing tool and had some round carbide bar stock handy, I'd use it. Thanks for watching!!

@@ScottsMiniWoodshop thanks. I've just bought a used carbide drill bit from eBay as per Mike Peace's video on DIY burnisher. I've seen expert turners on yt even use the shaft of a screw driver.

very interesting. Real time for the scraping would have made it better

It's always a challenge to balance real time video with a video that's too long. Thanks for the comment. Maybe I'll do a follow up showing it in actual time.
