I bought one of Jameel's skrapers at WIA and have found it to be great for flattening a face in a small area and I think I will use it like a float in this capacity.Shannonhttp://rogersfinewoodworking.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-40179293687741758692009-10-15T08:39:10.763-04:002009-10-15T08:39:10.763-04:00Philly better watch out !

The tip about Bill Carter is a good one...I saw at West Dean (Chichester UK) how he used ground down chisels (at 90deg) as scrapers to remove material from very hard, close grained timber, so the technique would probalby work in pearwood (a timber I've never used but it's on my tuit list) - RobWoodblokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573880625129679293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-37858480091764833042009-10-15T01:53:13.700-04:002009-10-15T01:53:13.700-04:00Ho and on the new picture of you, did you make all...Ho and on the new picture of you, did you make all these Krenovs planes? it look like a nice cabinet!<br />Do you have more pics?<br />Thank you again.<br />French Canadian DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017066552183432883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-75427500600239388172009-10-15T01:50:11.052-04:002009-10-15T01:50:11.052-04:00Wow Again!

I'm going to have to find a piece of that. <br /><br />I gleaned a great piece of wisdom from planemaker Bill Carter. For truing up beds he took a thick firmer chisel, heated it cherry red, and quenched it to get a super hard chisel. He didn't temper it, and ground the edge to just under ninety degrees, and uses it as a scraperJohn Cashmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-35861477999391730492009-10-14T20:20:31.168-04:002009-10-14T20:20:31.168-04:00Thanks, Adrian!
