Sharpening and using a Card Scraper was always a big woodworking mystery to me. I would see people using them and getting great results but I just couldn’t replicate what they were doing. In this woodworking skills video we demystify the basics of sharpening and using a card scraper. It’s a great tool for getting finish ready surfaces in half the time as sandpaper. Let me know in the comments what joint you’d like to see next week. Thanks for watching! Please like, comment and subscribe. Cheers!

Burnisher/Card Scraper Set I LOVE and used in this video: amzn.to/2Uv337A

@nathanmagel487 4 года назад

Thanks for the video! I've got a gooseneck scraper, a tiny NYC apartment, and a thin wallet. Any advice on hacks/DIY solutions for a good burnisher substitute? Would like to avoid the spend if there's a reasonable alternative.

@mrwes100 3 года назад

Could a honing steel be used as a burnisher?

I love my card scrapers, but I have a tip an old Iranian guy who made violins showed me a long time ago. I am a glazier by trade. One time this guy came into my Dad's shop and asked how much for our scrap glass cut offs. I thought he was nuts and I told him he could have all the scrap pieces he could find in my trash tub. He said he would be back in a few minutes. I thought he might be going to get a box, but he came back with a piece of a violin he was making and showed me why he wanted the broken glass. He used it as a scraper and his work was second to none! He took all the single and double strength glass he could with him. The key is that you can't use the side that the score came from. Sometimes when I need a weird shape I cut myself a piece of glass in that shape thanks to a tip from an old guy who came into my world from out of the blue. That is how we learn and evolve as craftsmen!

@gnarthdarkanen7464 5 лет назад

I've heard a LOT of old timers in my area talk about their fathers and grand-fathers cutting and shaping tool handles with "pieces of a busted jar"... Personally never seen it done, myself... SO... thanks for the tip... ...time to experiment. ;o)

My Dad told me that he was standing on the shoulders of a Master cabinet maker.

@barbodilshahi4956 2 года назад

Bro we use that glass trick on the edge of the leather soles in shoemaking and I tell you no sandpaper does the job as good as that trash piece of glass(treasure to us though)

@bluegitsy 2 года назад

@@barbodilshahi4956 I do the same on leather edges works best thing by far to use

@flatsixx Год назад

I was taught this by my dad back in the late 70s when I was a kid. We’d save any mason jars that were cracked. Then as we needed it, we could put the glass in a burlap bag (I’ve used a pillow case) and bust it with a hammer.

These tools also work wonders for 3D printed items, smoothing them out and removing print lines before priming/painting.

@theSilentCutter 6 месяцев назад

Yep! this is the 3d printers secret weapon!

@theRobzie 5 лет назад

I love the fact that you give proper pressure comparisons in your tutorials it makes so much more sense than when someone say "use a medium to light pressure" which can be confusing as hell.

@JessMcM86 3 месяца назад

Whilst I'd kind of agree with you, I'd argue that all he's really done in reality is make me way more self-conscious when pressing elevator and side-walk buttons!

@josephhaddakin7095 7 дней назад

@@JessMcM86hahaha. How hard do you press an elevator button, sir? Easy, about as hard as you do burnishing a card scraper.

I just bought my first set of scrapers last week. I had that same excitement when I got a curly shaving. You're right when you say this is a super underutilized tool. Thanks for the vid!

@robertsparkman8516 5 лет назад

I was encouraged to use them early on and it was the best advice I got. Mastering them will take time but some decent results can be had in a few minutes.

I never heard of these, but imagined you could do this and it would be useful for my current project. This works so much better than I imagined it would. Your video was very clear and thorough without feeling tedious.

@cheryldawkins7486 4 года назад

Thank you! I was told I had to put a huge amount of pressure on the burnisher. I couldn't figure out why it was never sharp. I can't thank you enough.

@mykhelderian 5 лет назад

Thank you so much. This is the only method I've tried where I got a good result. Excellent tutorial. Invaluable.

@alanlillich6738 5 лет назад

Thanks a million! I’ve been struggling with card scrapers, could get a cutting burr maybe one try in ten. You’re the first person to give pressure advice that I could follow with the elevator/crosswalk button tip. I immediately got four good edges, did a bunch of scraping, and repulled four more good edges.

@PhilWhitfieldMusic 3 года назад

Thank you for this. I’ve struggled with sharpening my card scrapers (even with the Veritas burnisher). Following along with this worked 100% the first time. Fantastic tutorial 😀😀😀

@mattboyd1985 5 лет назад

I have been trying to get a card scraper to work for a while now. Never had clean shavings, just dust. Working better now though! Biggest tips were lite pressure like pushing a button, and burnishing the edge flat on the bench before you burnish the narrow edge. With these tips I was able to get much better finishes even just using the bottom of a big router bit as a burnishing tool. Seeing how much easier the burnishing tool makes things ive already ordered one. Great video!

@craigmonteforte1478 5 лет назад

Good video and method with a very good narration on the process my Father cut hair for many years and owned his own shop he was a Master at sharpening Almost any thing including of course his shears that he brought home every evening unfortunately he is gone now and never took the time to explain all the processes he used Although i did watch him sitting at the workbench in our garage using a grinder and wet stones We even had a special container to put our dull utility knife blades he would re sharpen along with all the woodworking tools I was a professional Woodworker for over 20 years and i had to learn the skills of keeping many tools sharp out in the feild which sometimes meant needing to utilize a belt sander and files in a attempt to keep my tool boxes as light as i could sometimes like my Father i did bring certain items home to use Tools i kept there most importantly my loved and expensive Marple chisels that i made a tool roll for transporting them safely
