Sharpening your scraper - HowTo PLEEEEASE?

<< < (5/5)

DanaM:
Like B Steve, I always did like multiple choice tests :D

NOMADIC PIRATE:
I just take the edge over a flat stone by keeping the scraper diagonally like when you use a plainer, that's pretty much the same method as Pappy basically but without power tools ;D ;D

Quick, easy, and it last plenty enought


....Hoo yeah like picture (B)

The Burnt Hill Archer:
i tried using a steak knife sharpener, you know like the round metal thing with groves running length wise. i used that instead of the file because i kept getting a rough edge on my scraper. i just clamp the scraper in the vice, run the sharpener on it just like you would the file, and then burnish. it took like 1 minute and it was sharper than when i first got them. i do like the idea of using the belt sander, but right now ive got 40 grit on there for grinding laminations :P
