 Hey Steve-Always wanted a shaving horse-never saw what I liked- do you like it ? Post a photo if you get a chance-I use a tool stand(heavy) and a big ole' swivel vise when I work outside which is most of the time-thx-bob

You better clean that file up Sparky ! I like to oil my files and scrapers with PAM nonstick spray to keep them from rusting . Also helps keep the files and rasps from plugging up .

Roger,

Torges' article is TBM was from about 12 years ago.  I think it may be in Hunting the Osage Bow.  I think his method is about the same as yours.  If he heard how I sharpen mine I would probably be the butt of one of his anecdotes about sloppy bowyers!  Take care.

Would cutting a 12" miter saw blade up with a torch produce usable scrapers?

  ATT -The heat would ruin the temper in the blade and what you made woundt stay sharp.-bob
