honestly, I just guessed. But the idea is ...Alfred,<br />honestly, I just guessed. But the idea is that you want a curve that is more open then the shape you wish to scrape so that you can hold it at a skew while scraping, much the same way that various coves can be cut on a tablesaw by pushing wood across the blade at an angle. I will be making a video soon about scraping. The key is a sharp scraper and scraping from a variety of direction.<br /><br />Chair-man,<br />I simply realized that I was using the wrong tool for the job!! It's obvious that you wouldn't use a flat scraper in a bowl shape, because it wouldn't fit, but because rounded shapes don't restrict the scraper type, I've always used a flat scraper, which makes too little surface contact to be much help shaping the piece. How's that for a run on sentence!Peter Galberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206420121702258974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-78971068525756790492011-08-04T19:34:08.431-05:002011-08-04T19:34:08.431-05:00What Made you decide to grind the flat blade conca...What Made you decide to grind the flat blade concave?collapsible chair-manhttp://www.foldingpaddedchairs.com/collapsible-chairsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-14282079577905831972011-08-03T21:43:26.439-05:002011-08-03T21:43:26.439-05:00Peter,
Very interesting article - beautifully ill...Peter,<br /><br />Very interesting article - beautifully illustrated too. I wonder:<br />1. how you determine the radius in relation to the convex surface to be worked, and <br />2. how you avoid 'riding' the soft and hard parts of the pine grain. I tend to get a wavy pattern when scraping wood with distinct soft and hard rings.<br /><br />AlfredAlfred Kraemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321504428878679147noreply@blogger.com
