143- Scraper Sharpening with William Ng

[James66860]

QUESTION: What is the brand name of Mr. Ng's "finishing" stones?

OBSERVATION: Lucky for us that you had your flip cam with you, Marc. Thanks.

@James66860 Pretty sure he has them for sale in his online store. I believe they are Takenoko.

So that's what those things do. I've been using mine to get gum off table bottoms.

[SuperShedman]

incredible - very informative. Wish we had stuff like that around me. If we do then its not very well known.

Thanks

[loboguara11]

[classicalguitarrocks]

Is it better to go ahead and just use a scraper than a hand plane and sander then?

I'm getting into woodworking and have bought 4 sanders now and they work great but if there is a quicker and better way then I'm all for getting on the same page with that lol.

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@ronemarshall Well I wouldn't say any of them are "better" so much as they are just different ways of getting the job done. If you don't like sanding, a scraper and/or a smoothing plane will make you much happier. But a smoothing plane can be problematic on wild or figured grain. That's the beauty of the card scraper; its very easy to use.

[ronemarshall]

@TheWoodWhisperer Thanks bud.

[littlestworkshop]

two people prefer sandpaper!

[Mopardude]

Best explanation of how to properly sharpen card scrapers I have ever seen! Is this of a class he was teaching or something?

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@Mopardude it was during one of his classes, yes.

[jblasls]

Very nice!!!, now I understand how you can achieve the level of skills you own, surrounded by people like William... and I guess many others.

I wish here in Mexico I could find someone to learn from.

Thanks

[Sodabowski]

Super awesome!

But does all this apply to playing cards with beer as a lube? ;p

[ArtisanConstruction]

very cool!

[Dibblah1900]

Wow - Thanks. That was a great demonstration! It's amazing how many bad (as in completely technically incorrect) videos are out there showing "how to use a scraper"

[Xar0mir]

I'm still always amazed about what people can do with what is basically a flat piece of metal. I got one, never really got the hang of it, i guess i will try again these days. Very cool.

[Gabriel1o1]

wish i knew how to work wood



[mprimecoleman]

Wow. Thank you so much for sharing. Looks like I've been doing this wrong for a while. There are many vids on how to sharpen scrapers, but apparently not very well.

[Aaron00Tracy]

[Skandoro]

[IrishWoodDoctor]

[Stupchek]
