I wonder

(1/4) > >>

stuckinthemud:
I wonder what would happen if you switched the pencil in a gizmo for a scraper blade? I mean, you adjust the pencil, mark the bow, scrape away the marks and repeat. So. Why not cut out the middle step?  Would that give you what medieval makers called a bow float?

Muskyman:
I like the sound of it. I’m not really as familiar with wood working tools as I could be so I’ll ask if there is a small plane that maybe the blade is in the center? If there is, would that work?

superdav95:
The closest thing to this may be a Boyers edge by Torges.  I don’t have one yet but I’ve been looking to try and get one.  It would be similar to a spike shave too perhaps and also adjustable blade depth.  The first pic is of the bowyers edge by Dean Torges. 

Selfbowman:
I tried a cabinet scraper . It did not work for me. Might have been operator error?🤠 I do like the thought of that kind of scraper.

Selfbowman:
They make a smaller version of this block plane.  you would have to add to the front end.
