Real scrapers from a woodworking are nice, but most of the time I use a single edge razor blade or a small piece of broken glass as a scraper.
I do have a scraper that was made to be a scraper but most of the time I use one I made from a large bandsaw blade.
I've used a cheap generic Dremel for basic shaping to cut down on sanding time, but any more and I ended up making a mistake.
If your making one or two pairs a coping saw and sanding block as others have mentioned is about all you need. If your like me and have about a dozen blades that need scales and don't have much time to devote to them some power tools can certainly be appealing.
What type of scrapers do you use? Any pics of the one you made? Can the scraper be used on stabilized wood or wood with a LOT of acrylic in it?
I use anything as mentioned above.
I found these when set into a homemade handle work well as the ground edges are sharp enough to scrape wood. bone, or acrylic materials to a nice surface requiring little sanding. The nice part of these is they scrape to either side:

Break apart a scissors and use the edges to scrape. works well for scraping toward you.
Have fun; anything with a sharp edge is an answer and holding it is your problem!
