Hi, I bought a scraper and barnisher from Stew-Mac, when you put the hook on the end of the scraper can you actually see it? If you can then I must be doing something wrong or I need my glasses checked. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong, thanks, Red |

I'm not so sure if I can see it either, my eyes are slowly slippin' away. I did have this stored away on my computer for reference. I hope it can be of some help? http://www.brendlers.net/oldtools/scraping/scraper.htm#EdgeP reparation |

The hook is miroscopic, but you can feel it. You'll know it is their because you'll get shavings instead of sawdust. |

You should be able to catch your nail on the hook if you run your finger along the scraper. Cheers Martin |

VERY gentlty, if you run it along the length-if you get a great hook drawn,it's like a razor. I gently run the pad of my thumb across it,checking along the length, |

I second the comment on Boggs. Actually, if anyone gets a chance to take a class from Brian (I've taken two) I HIGHLY recommend it. The guy has amazing knowledge of most things related to woodworking. How does this relate to guitars? Well, I always play while sitting in the chair I made in Brian's class!

Hi, Red I've got the burnisher from StewMac. It works really well, but it took me a few tries to get a good hook. After you draw out the burr you have to increase the angle quite a bit to make the hook. Once I found the right angle it became easy to get a good hook. Ron |

Hey, that burnisher looks like a knife steel(you know for straighting an edge). Can you use one of those??? |
