If you don't own a hand scraper, buy a simple, rectangular model at a tool store or through a woodworking catalog. Most of them are either 5" or 6" long and 2" to 3" wide. You also have an alternative. A rectangle cut out of an old handsaw blade will work like a charm. Once you've learned the ins and outs of scraping, you may decide to add a cabinet scraper, a small two-handled tool that clamps a scraper blade in place.

It reduces the risk of ridges when you smooth a large surface, and it's a lot easier on you. A hand scraper stresses your thumbs and gets awfully hot. You can coax some sawdust off a piece of wood with an unhoned scraper, but that's not what this tool is designed to do.

Put the right hook on its edge and a scraper unfurls wispy curls of wood, finer than you could ever get with a plane. Achieving that hook is no mystery; you just need the right technique. Learn to do it the simple way, and resist the urge to buy sharpening devices. Marc Adams says, "I've seen people struggle with those accessories here at the school, and I've never seen one gadget that made me think, 'This is what we need.

A hand scraper and a cabinet scraper require slightly different procedures. Both, however, shave wood with a hook that you form along the edge.

See the drawing above for a close-up view of the almost invisible hook. The captions to Photo A through Photo F, below, tell you how to sharpen a hand scraper. We used a burnishing tool, but the shank of a good chisel works just as well. Put a hook on both sides of both long edges so you won't have to reburnish as often.

And if you want to get the absolute most out of your scraper, Marc points out that you can put as many as 12 hooks on one rectangular scraper. No matter how well honed, a scraper won't turn out feathery shavings until you get the hang of using it. You have to flex it properly and hold it at the perfect angle to maximize its performance. Marc pulls, reasoning that "You can't hold it perfectly flat when you're pushing it, but you can when you pull it.
