    How to make finger planes

    Found this on the web and thought I would pass it along.

  2. Thumbs up Finger scraper?

    Now these are really sweet!

    Has anyone ever made a scraper plane that size? I could imagine using one to finish small scale work (boomerangs in my case).

    Regards,

    Christoph

    Made, no. But I do use a brass scraper plane about an inch and a half long from St James Bay for fine shaving mandolin braces. Works a treat.
    Cheers

    I like the tone of the writing. Particularly the last few paragraphs. Quote from last line of text;

    Torch the clinic, treatment is not necessary. Come children . . . into the dark . . .
