Thanks

[@orelygarcia]

Nice work James, I made mine from a stainless steel cookie cutter I got at the dollar store. Thumbs up.

[@WoodByWright]

+OG Timbercraft that is a cool idea! Inspuration is every ware!

[@JoeBob79569]

Just made one of these this evening with an angle grinder, and it kind of ended up looking like the Bearkat scraper. It was definitely a lot of fun doing it with the angle grinder, especially smoothing the edges after cutting. It was really satisfying, kind of like using a spokeshave, but just with a lot of noise and sparks. Good manly stuff! My fire alarm didn't like it though, it kept going off every 5 minutes!

[@gervasegallant]

Great video! I've seen lots of others, but most recommend I go out and buy a mini grinder...

[@GuysShop]

Pretty cool James! Great tutorial on making one of these for custom shapes. And you're right, much better than sandpaper. Thanks for taking the time and sharing this!

[@WoodByWright]

+GuysWoodshop my plesure. It was alot of fun to make. Thanks.

[@jg1019]

Wonderful idea, Ill be making one for smoothing out my spoon bowls.

[@GuitarWithJamie]

Tin snips! Of course! Thanks! Looking forward to making mine. I have a 100+ year old Woodworking book by Paul N Hasluck that says to use old saw blades as well because you want a hard metal.

[@JeepTherapy]

Thanks for putting the glove on. I knowww that had some serious sharp edges. OH! Wayyyy back about I guess 20 years ago I was working with my dad. I forgot what we were working on. We had to scrape the layer of paint, poly, and some other stuff. Don’t ask me what the other stuff was... probably lead for all I know. He went to town to get some liquid stripper and I grabbed one of his old metal sheetrock knives, broke the handle off and used it. So we saved a couple of bucks there once we returned the stripper. So yeah if you need to do a large area, make a 12” scraper!!!

[@WoodByWright]

That would be sweet.

[@jistpassinthru]

Enjoy all of your videos. Note: the tool used to clean your files is a file card rather than a "card file". Keep up the nice tool making vids!

[@WoodByWright]

thanks Curt. LOL I worked in a library for a while I just can not say those two words in reverse!

[@tylerludwig4854]

Best voice dubbing ever

[@WoodByWright]

LOL thanks!

[@LittleUrbanPrepper]

This was very helpful. Thanks. A lot. Will make one today.😊

[@danielsolowiej]

Good done James, as you say the possibilities are endless.

[@WoodByWright]

+Daniel Solowiej sure are. And alot of fun to use in any situation.

[@danielsolowiej]

Wood By Wright I have a great debt to make some for me and definitely leave the sand, as you will see tomorrow in my next video. As always a pleasure to see what you do! Thank you :)

[@WoodByWright]

+Daniel Solowiej sweet. Looking forward to your videos.

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

People are too eager to grab sand paper, I think it all a matter of knowledge and experience. great video James

[@WoodByWright]

+The ShavingWood Workshop very true but the same people complain about having to sand.

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

LOL, yes they do

[@haydenyeap2818]

Damn! After your comment on a different video I made a card scraper from an old pulse hardened tenon saw, I had heaps of trouble getting it to do curls and thought it was due to my poor sharpening though it turns out it’s because I tried it on pine, did not know that pine does that thanks for the info

[@WoodByWright]

that gets a lot of people! the softer the wood the harder it is to scrape!

[@johnburkitt9428]

Great video James. Always look at old saws and think of making card scrapers but the just cleN them up and give them away.

[@WoodByWright]

LOL very true. it always amazes me how many of them are out there.

[@tropifiori]

I recently restored Grandad's saw. It was terribly rusty. I soaked it in white vinegar. The rust came off nicely. I resharpened it and it is very serviceable.

[@WoodByWright]

Nice! that is the best kind of too. something that reminds you of family and you have some time into.

[@tooljunkie555]

good stuff james..i was hoping to see u sharpen it but ill wait til the next episode. thanks man!

[@WoodByWright]

+Joe basementwoodworking that will be out next Thursday I think. Hopfuly. If I get time. Oh who am I kidding I never get time.

[@MattFriedrichs]

Great project, James.

[@WoodByWright]

+Matthew Friedrichs thanks. It was a fun quick project

[@josephlathrop1914]

Buy a set of french Curves as a template

[@chenks54]

you could use a profile gauge to get the rough shape of the object you want to scrape and transfer that shape onto the saw blade!

[@WoodByWright]

+chenks54 that would be a great idea.

[@bearkatwood6354]

A steel comma, fun. Well done buddy.

[@WoodByWright]

+BearKat Wood I love to add punctuation to my woodworking.

[@bearkatwood6354]

Good one ;)

[@pitmasterjoe8388]

brilliant

[@WoodByWright]

thanks Joe!

[@danthemakerman]

Man I'm an idiot I thought I had subscribed to your channel weeks ago, turns out I hadn't. But I have since remedied that, great video by the way.

[@WoodByWright]

LOL KZbin likes to unsubscribe people for some reason. Thanks! And like wise! I love what you do!

[@ASliceofWoodWorkshop]

I made one a couple years ago out of a table saw blade. I haven't made a curvy one though, maybe it's time.

[@WoodByWright]

Wow! that has got to be a stiff plate! I should try that some time! thanks for the idea

[@leksey7870]

A good scraper. Like!

[@WoodByWright]

Thanks! they are so much fun to plat with!

[@blackfender100]

Great idea I would think gloves would be in order for that project James

[@WoodByWright]

+Joe Dov it you want. But not something I want to mess with. But I am odd.

[@donnymcarter]

Very cool James! Thanks for the video!

[@WoodByWright]

Thanks Man! it was a fun quick video.

[@Coolride1000]

Good imformation

[@WoodByWright]

thanks Allen!

[@zohranbloedjes9770]

I have made a rectangular one from and old workt but the bur didn't listed long so I ended up buying one

[@WoodByWright]

that is always the issue. you never know what steel you are going to get.

[@PaulMeyette]

I actually intend to make a rectangular one, but enjoyed the curved version / video.

[@WoodByWright]

+Paul Meyette one can never have enough card scrapers. Lol. Thanks.

[@Allenrobinson9]

as if you made this with tin snips.. you always amaze me!

[@WoodByWright]

+The WoodWorking Junkie I know. And I did not have to snort any walnut to do it.

[@Allenrobinson9]

+Wood By Wright hey hey hey... we don't call it snort... sniff.. there's a difference

[@WoodByWright]

LOL sorry!

[@brunomanta7558]

Muito bom os vídeos , se possível você poderia fazer um vídeo de como fazer aquela serra manual de madeira , pendurada em sua prateleira? Abraço do Brasil!

[@WoodByWright]

+Bruno Manta Obrigado! Eu fiz um vídeo em que serra de viragem. Você pode vê-lo aqui.kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4HZamOmrtR6hrM A menos que você está falando sobre a serra quadro , em seguida, você pode ver que aqui. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGLJdoyZrbJsf8U

[@willemkossen]

Maybe its because Europe, but here the diy stores carry these square scrapers (not curved ones though). (Dat zeg ik, gamma) so i think I will be on the lookout for cheap old rusty saws to repurpose. (And today i learned that i need an old diamond cutting wheel to make a drawknife too.... (Did you see that John Heisz video?)

[@willemkossen]

All that filing, you need a treadle powered angle grinder ;)

[@WoodByWright]

+Willem Kossen wow. Here the DIY Stores don't have a clew what that is. Might have to move to Europe! His video is on my list.

[@NotonlyWood]

I saw that Video and maybe I'll do the same. Here in Germany you can find also round ones but only in painters stores ; )

[@WoodByWright]

+Not only Wood nice. They are fantastic for stripping paint.

[@mikegager]

could you use the sheet metal plates that the big box stores sell? i have several scrapers but would like to try making one

[@WoodByWright]

you might. the steel might be a bit thin but some people like thin. I like it to be about .03" always worth giving it a try. But most Antique stores have a bunch of saws floating around that go for $3-$5. Looking forward to what you make!

[@opasworkshop8373]

Great idea James nice job,although I think keeping with your handtools,I would invest in a guillotine shear. I'm just saying lol

[@WoodByWright]

+Opa's Workshop that would be a good tool to have in the shop.

[@jasonzvokel6317]

I've never used a card scraper before but have thought about buying one with a burnisher.... how long did that process actually take you?

[@WoodByWright]

About 8 minutes to cut it and then another 15 to file it down. even with shooting the video the whole thing only took 45 minutes. a rectangular card I could probably turn out in less then 10 minutes. once you get the hang of it you save so much time on sanding!

[@jasonzvokel6317]

That is awesome and I'm going to try it. Looking forward to your sharpening video. Thanks James

[@WoodByWright]

Sweet! That video should be out Thursday. Hopefully.

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Nice! It must have been a pain to cut that hardened steel with the pliers.:D

[@WoodByWright]

Most old saws are not hardened that much. Because you still need to be able to sharpen them. It makes it shear fairly easily. Also, that makes it fairly brittle and I can snap off the extra bits.The whole cutting was only about 8 minutes. most new saws over harden the teeth so you can not sharpen them easily any more and they are brittle so when they are dull you just throw them out.

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

+Wood By Wright I see! Interesting! Not a recycling culture anymore... :P in any case, truth is you dont need the hardest steel to cut wood :) thanks!

[@WoodByWright]

it just needs to be harder then the wood you are working.

[@willemkossen]

+Wood By Wright if i were to try and temper the sawblade teeth, could i sharpen them????

[@WoodByWright]

+Willem Kossen sure you could. But then you would be stuck with a plastic handle. Lol. That sounds like a fun project though.

[@reneschaap8091]

leer vijlen Guus!!!!!!!

[@WoodByWright]

wat is een leer vijlen?

[@woutmoerman711]

@@WoodByWright it's Dutch for learn to file.

[@beau4170]

a bit phallic what

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Why do people insist on using files without a handle, I have seen so many accidents where the pointed end has dug into the hand and it can make a nasty cut that can take a long time to heal. most woodworkers have some method of making handles for their tools, it does not have to be pretty just functional.I am sorry to go on about this but it is one of my pet hates. keep safe and enjoy woodwork

[@WoodByWright]

+John Fithian-Franks so true. I completely know what you are saying. It is high on my list of things to make. Hopefully in the next month. But unwell then I keep the point out of my palm and choak up on the file so if I slip the point is alredy past my hand. You will see a video on makeing Handel's soon though.

[@Solid_Jackson]

You shouldn’t label stuff as asmr if it actually isn’t It’s dishonest and I know you don’t run a dishonest channel, fix it

[@WoodByWright]

This video is not labeled ASMR.

[@Solid_Jackson]

@@WoodByWright erm what’s the channel it’s posted on called?

[@WoodByWright]

The newer videos for the last few years are no talking. That is to differentiate from the talking on the How To channel. The fans voted on calling this the ASMR channel. Most of the new videos fit that well.

[@Solid_Jackson]

@@WoodByWright just turning the gate up on a mic does not an asmr video make…..neither does just not talking It’s a fact that most of the videos on this channel are either only coincidentally asmr or not at all The rest of your content is very good, but irrespective of “fan voting” this channel seems a bit of a grift with how it’s labelled
