Thanked: 495My favorite scraper for forming wood scales, is a utility knife blade.
I use them like a draw file. Works like a champ

Thanked: 170In Japan, a metal scraper is called a Sen. Haven't tried yet, but that is the way they cut the hollow on razors.

Thanked: 2027Thats fantastic Richard,have never seen it done but some of the old lathes I have had beautiful hand scraped patterns on the ways,almost a scalloped effect.
My Dad ran the armory at the navel shipyards in Bremerton wash. back in the day he had an old codger that would come in and do all the bridgeport tables every couple yrs
Wish I could have watched it being done.
