I think this is the only good explanation of scratch stock ive seen on RUclips
Thank you!
As always, thank you. I am a woodworker over 80 and have a good collection of hand tools and just love your explanation of how to use them.
Thank you!
God bless you
That's one of the tools on my to-do list, Graham! 😊
In an (kind of) unrelated topic... Well, another of my hobbies is electronics. I made a fume extractor, for soldering, some years ago, but it's too big and bulky... So I bought a smaller but stronger fan to make a new one. And I didn't know what kind of plastic box I'd use for it... But now I just realized: I could easily make it out of wood! 😃
And perhaps I even make some beads on it!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Sounds great! and thank you.
I never understood how to actually sharpen scratch stock bits. Thank you so much for showing exactly how simple it is. Now I'm going to go make one with a couple of different profiles that I have in mind
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful videos and the best theme song on the Internet!
Thank you!
Always pleasant to see Graham
Thank you!
Super 👍 je connais bien, en français, cela s’appelle un tarabiscot. J’en ai fabriqué un qui fonctionne très bien. Merci pour tout votre partage de connaissances.
Pas de tout!
A man or woman can only be as good as the knowledge they have from experience of such things as well as others. You sir, have just expanded my knowledge base and for that I want to say " Thank You"! I haven't heard of this before but I can think of some useful places to use this and I will implement them at some point. Stay safe and Happy Building 💯😁
You're very welcome!
It is amazing how people so quickly sell their intellectual birthright to the "backscratchers", rather than find much greater (AND more economical) pleasures in their own cleverness!
With so very much within our reach, thank you for extolling the virtues of an all-too-ready simplicity of 'kit'!
Very welcome!
Thanks Mr. Blackburn! I want to try to use one of these some day soon.
You should!
I loved this video! I'm going to try making this. Thank you.
Have fun!
A few years ago, I made a scratch stock following the directions in one of the woodworking magazines. Their procedure for sharpening was very involved and I never did get a clean profile in the wood. I am excited to try the method you recommend.
I get the impression it is important to go lightly and be patient, rather than apply significant force. Is that the case?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Depneds on the species of wood but basically yes!
Thank you for introducing this method.
You're very welcome!
Thanks Graham, you just reinforced my aversion to electric routers and costly bits. This is a marvelous tool that I can make to get the edge features I’m looking for. Also, as a tip for source material to make the blade I suggest old saw hack blades they are my go to metal to make small parts.
Good idea!
Much appreciated. Your instruction is as always useful and enjoyable.
You're very welcome!
I must second the use of a scratch stock. I have made and used a scratch stock on projects, and it is surprising how effective it is. The blade is easily made from an old saw blade, cut with a dremel or hacksaw, shaped with files, and sharpened with sandpaper or whatever. And fun to use, not without a slight learning curve. To be frank, it can replace or surpass all those mounding planes behind Mr. Blackburn!
Yes indeed!
Thank you really simple good explanation
You are welcome!
It strikes me that your blade holder could use a few perpendicular score marks around all sides of it prior to edge rounding as blade alignment guide marks or a matching recess(es) in the wood halves. I would add that I found using a scratch stock tool requires a sharp blade, some sort of scraper or knife edge to remove the inevitable fuzz created along the cuts, lots of practice in different kinds of woods, and patience to allow the tool to do the work instead of heavy pressure and force. With the LN tool you should also lock your wrists as you go to keep the cut line straight. There is fair amount of difference between watching someone use it and doing it yourself. It's not all that easy to master but when you do it can create unique shapes
A good video as always.
Thanks!
Thank you. Probably one of the betterexplanations of a scratch stock.
Glad you think so!
Thank you Graham!
Now I know what I will use my thick and wide industrial band saw blade (yard sale found) for.
Great!
I use broken bandsaw blades. You don't have to worry about grain direction as much as with a plow plane beading blade.
Very true!
Thanks Graham!
You're welcome!
Basically a Molding Plane
Yep, kind of...
Oh I am so stupid.. such a great idea.. Why didn't I think of this before.. My friends call me genius.. But I always tell them I am just a lucky dumb guy.. this is proof of that.. Thanks Graham.. As always such great stuff here.
Thank you!
Fantastic share. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Really helpful, thanks.
You're very welcome!
Forgot about that amazing tool.
Now you've got it!
Wonderful ! Thank you
You're very welcome!
Great tips
Glad you like them!
Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
Thank you sir, i have been learning hand tool wood working from yourself and paul sellers tutorials and this is something i have never come across. Will try as it seems very exciting to be able to make this using scrap. Can you please explain how would this be functionally different from a moulding or beading plane (i would imagine the quality of surface ?). Thank you and Kind Regards from Pakistan
A molding plane works faster, but you have to be concerned with grain direction with a molding plane. Grain does not matter in a scratch stock. Just my 2 cents.
@@richarde7432 thank you, this makes sense
It's basically just easier for short and/or curved lengths.
True.
True!
I wish you had specified what you meant by “a scrap piece of metal” you can’t just use any piece of metal laying around like a galvanized sheet steel for duct work, or aluminum. This needs to be a carbon steel of adequate thickness.
You're right, something harder like a piece of band saw blade.
No need to harden or temper the steel??
You could, but it's quicker just to look for a harder piece - like a bit of bandsaw blade.
Does it matter on type of steel in making blades ?
Any handsaw blade would do nicely
The harder the better.
Just plain sheet steel?
Thin sheet steel, a little thicker than a razor blade
An old hand saw is a great source of blade material. A worn out modern hard point can also be used…maybe not such good quality steel as a vintage saw but certainly usable.
Would card scrapers also work?
A piece of bandsaw blade will work as well.
I use Hacksaw blades but you have to shape them on a grinder .
