Some people ask about curved scrapers: Try using a nail set that is in good condition instead of the burnisher. The nail set metal isn't ideal, really, but its diameter is smaller, which increases the pressure, and it has a built in angle because of its taper. For some reason, I find that with a nail set, I am able to more easily establish a hook on a curved scraper than with a regular burnisher. I focus on staying level across the edge with the axis of the nail set, leaving it to the taper to give me the angle to draw over the hook. I think it's just hard to change the direction of the force onto the burnisher as you go around a curve and I think the amplification in pressure from the narrow nail set helps offset that. Just be careful because you don't have as much to hold onto and, if you slip, you can cut yourself on the scraper. Also, lubricate the nail set (and burnisher).

I have been a luthier, stringed instrument builder/repair, for over 40 years, and for most of that time, a lot of sanding/smoothing/flattening is done from many contorted and pretzel positions. About 30 years ago at one of our national guild shows. A young apprenticed man took a standard box cutter blade and with vice grips drug it across a small vice platform at about 80 to 90⁰; effectively ruining the blade (15¢) but creating a uniform burr.This was my introduction to card or metal scraping. With the sharp corners and flat middle and minuscule size for reaching inside of rare vintage instruments; a new age began for me. "New subscriber" and appreciate the science/preference opinions and histories of tooling and metal smithing. My repertoire in woodworking is thousands of guitars, mandolins... and two houses. Great videos; length of video to useful information ratio is just right.

In a previous life I was a baker. So I had and was shown how to sharpen a “bench scraper” the nicer one made by Dexter had a wood handle on what would be used for woodworking would have been a usable edge. These were used simply to scrape off the dough and flour that adhered to the wooden bench tops. When newly sharpened they would also remove a layer of sawdust from the bench top. Over the years I have struggled with the pulling and bending of cabinet scrapers since my muscle memory wants to revert to holding the scraper’s top edge and pushing it, as I wood with a baker’s bench scraper. Thank you for demonstrating the whys and wherefore of using the cabinet scraper as you do.

Here's a mechanic's tip to simplify the file and flattening work: after using the file as shown, turn it 90 degrees and gently (you're not forming the hook) pull the file towards you a few times. The result will be a hyper-smooth edge. You may be able to go straight to the finest abrasive.

Back in the 70's and 80's when wood patterns and prototype wood models (every piece of stamped metal had a wood model made with a tolerance of .010") were hand built in the Detroit area, typical finish for wood patterns and some models was a "waxed lacquer. It was common to scrape the lacquer surface and not sand it. Leveled out any lumps/bumps. Computerized machines took over in the late 80's and the old truly skilled modelmakers put their tools away and became management. I seen some amazing highly detailed automotive grills made from cherry.

Excellent vid, as usual.👍 I discovered the cabinet scraper ten or fifteen years ago. After practicing the prep and making the hook a few times, you will not believe how effectively a simple tool like this can perform. When you start getting fluffy shavings and not dust, you’re there. (Initially, I was pressing too hard on the burnisher. A friend who is a finish carpenter advised using a bit less force. Press firmly, not hard to get a good hook, which will be pretty small if done correctly. Too much of a hook, and it will break off faster.)

Great video! I learned a lot about improving my sharpening process. I think I'll buy a burnisher (I've been using a chisel instead). Card scrapers are also a lot faster and more aggressive in my experience (depending on usage). For removing old lacquer (or deep gouges, tear out from planing, or milling marks) it is A LOT faster than sanding. (At least faster than using a random orbital sander even with 40 grit. A belt sander might be able to keep up). I can't say about producing a smooth finish though. A sander is "fool proof" but a card scraper needs care and attention to produce smooth, even surfaces. Card scrapers do require more physical effort though. But on the plus, they're quiet (irrelevant for some).

Not sure on the orbital... BUT you CAN unclog a belt sander by running the sole of an old tennis shoe or sneaker against the belt a few seconds at a time... scrubs crap right out for at least 3 or 4 times the lifespan... ...screwy enough, THANK YOU TIM ALLEN!!! If you need unadulterated aggression, you can also get a "Shaper" and blades... They're not expensive and DO last pretty well... Some stores keep them over in the "Automotive Body" section of hardware and call them "Sure-Forms"... BUT because they work in fiberglass and aluminum or similarly soft metals... They're HELL ON WHEELS at moving wood, paint, lacquer, and obnoxious knotty crap... The actual tool looks like a cheese-grater mated with a file-holder for an illegitimate love-child... BUT there's a screw right at the handle end, to remove the "horrific rabid cheese-grater" blade, and you can get flat blades, flats that cut to one or both sides, OR rounded blades for them... It's not a "proper" finishing tool, but it's a great way in some spots to REALLY save on work, especially if you're truly into hand-tools... BUT some of those "obnoxious knotty crap" situations used to throw me a beating, even with power tools... When I could cut it out, the piece would split... Not so much with a Shaper... Light pressure and work it exactly like a file... in FEWER STROKES THAN YOU EXPECT it's gone... so be careful the first time or two. ;o)

@Heloise O'Byrne Hi Heloise, do you have some woodworking experience and have you used a card scraper before? I'm only asking because if it's a sewing machine you cherish I would only recommend using a card scraper if you have some experience using it or practiced on some less valuable pieces. Card scrapers can do more damage quickly than sanding. Sanding is slow but easy for beginners. You can use a card scraper though if you're 100% sure its not veneer. Veneer is just 1 or 2 mm thick and will be scraped off in no time (thus ruining the piece). As for dust, wear an FFP2 mask or N95 mask and you'll be safe. I took the liberty of looking at your youtube profile. Is it the "Madeleine" you uploaded a video of? I can't tell from the video if it is veneer or not. But two points: First, look at the ends of the boards whether you can see end grain (that's where you would see growth rings on the tree). If you can, it likely is not veneered because usually it would be covered by veneer. Second, I saw some nice molding/profiles on some of the boards. Those shapes can either be scraped with a card scraper that is filed to the matching shape or you can wrap some sandpaper around a matching shape like a dowel or round pencil. I hope this helps and have fun! PS others have suggested paint stripper which might work like a charm. I cannot speak to whethers it works with every finish though.

When all the woodworking is done & several coats of finish, of whatever kind, are applied, leveling between coats can be done with a scraper. Surprisingly, a piece of scrap glass is perfect! They're usually free, give 8 cutting edges instead of six, and are transparent so you can see what your cutting edge is doing. A very light touch is needed, you're removing tiny sheets of dried finish, remember. Try it. Oh, when I said that they're usually free from a place that cuts glass, I wasn't including the price of a box of Band-Aids, yeh?...

Hey James, just spitballing here, for a potential jig improvement. What if instead of making a rip that’s half way down the file, you make it almost as deep as the file, and then you could thread some bolts in through the back to adjust the depth of it. That way you could hit the center, hit the edges by backing the bolts out and then rotating the file etc. Whatcha think? Also, wow your videos are so flipping good. The best I’ve seen, and I’ve watched a lot. It’s fun that you’re so close to me too (we’re down outside Ann Arbor).

Is it just me that thinks if you are going in to remove some old varnish etc, I’d rather use a card scraper than gunk up some sandpaper?

Nope, the scraper is my preferred method for that too. Lots faster, no dust or chemicals.

wow, your channel is a tresure chest of usefull tips and advices. but the graphics in this one kinda puzzle me. Thou i guess i'd get a usefull scrapper just by following your every step, i did not understand the graphics that showed the scrapper-forming process :)
