I bought m first scrapers a few days ago. I purchased the rectangular and mini rectangular scrapers and Ive been using them all the time. I LOVE these things and they are my new favorite tool  I was initially nervous about sharpening it but its super easy do. I plan to buy the rest of the scrapers that stewmac offers next time I make a purchase from them. buy'em! ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up")

+1 Scrapers are excellent. My favorites right now remain the Lie Nielsen ones. Good steel, keep a nice edge, easily honed and tuned up, and work that little bit better than the cheaper generic ones I've used in the past (edge holding in particular). |

If you have the money buy em! However I bought a couple regular hardware store handsaws made of good quality steel and cut out a pile of different shape scrapers from them with an angle grinder with a cutting wheel attachment... Then squared/shaped them up with files/sander and they have been as decent as any of the 2cherry scrapers I already had... I file and burnish them - nice transparent curls A tip for the cheap woodworkers out there.... or if you dont have a well equipped handtool store in your area, like me. Just take care and not heat them too much (have a tub of water and a towel nearby) if using a power sander to shape/square them. Cheers Charliewood |

If you want the best scraper money can buy, put together a group buy on the ones that Al Carruth has made. Awesome scrapers. |
