Mostly, I build acoustic guitars. And scrapers are a big part of the process. I've used most of the common scrapers (with and without handles/fixtures). And they are good. I have been pondering this new one I found at Stewart-Macdonald.

This thing has turned out to be amazing. Little to no hand fatigue. Easy to sharpen (fast too). And it's shape is great for working edges without overworking them. This one may not be big enough for tables and cabinets. But it sure would fit in a lot of other areas. There are two sizes, I use the larger one.

Check it out and give it a try. No financial interest on my part.

It looks interesting and I like how it sharpens.

Looks interesting. This might get a lot more feedback in the neanderthal section. Maybe a moderator will move it if they see fit.

Yeah, I thought about the Neanders, but if u r working fine wood, powered or neander, scraping is a must. Try the thing. It's a total game changer.
