This is about the best video I have run across lately about sharpening cabinet scrapers.

Very interesting and informative!  Now to get a burnisher!, and figure out how to keep the gooseneck card sharp.  Been using diamond needle files.

Thats exactly the way I was tought.  Except his work hardening.  I don't see any real pros or cons to that step.  Although when squaring up the edge I start with 200 Dimond stone then 300, 400 then 600. It will make your burnished edge smooth as glass and it will reflect in your scraping. Good video though!

Having trouble with some of the commercial burnishers, I researched the hardest metal and came up with tungsten steel.  I bought a short rod of it on the big auction site, added a small dowel handle on each end of the rod and now have the best burnishing tool yet.  It has finish sharpened many scrapers, most made out of commercial saw mill band saw material, and not a scratch on the burnishing tool to date.

Great video.  Dean Torges used and taught the same method.
