Title: Simple scraper anyone can make
Post by: TimB on March 19, 2011, 02:12:00 PM
Hi all I just wanted to share a simple tool that I made. You guys have helped me out a lot, so I figured I would give back a little bit.

This isn't exactly a build along, I figure you guys can see how to make and use this thing from these two pics.

Basically, just screw a razor blade down to a piece of scrap wood and cut a notch so the shavings can fall out.

Here it is in action. Usually I use two hands for stability, but I had to hold the camera.  ;)

I made it because none of my local hardware stores have anything that would make a decent scraper. I'm sure I'm not the only one with that problem. If you have any questions, ask away.   :)

Nice, it shows how many ways there are to skin a cat, so to speak.  I will have to make one to give it a go.  Like today.

Does this scraper scrape more like a cabinet scraper or a spoke shave?

Chris,
I've never used a cabinet scraper or a spoke shave, so I don't know.

I'm glad you guys like it and I hope you will find it as useful as I have.
