Posted February 12, 200916 yr Heres some photos of two hand scrapers for wood that I built today, they are out of O-1 Oil Hardening Steel, I hardened and tempered the steel, if one cares to know how I did it and doesn't want to google the answer I can tell you. the handles are just some basic ones that I made out of some scrap purple heart and birdseye maple.
February 12, 200916 yr Author Thanks guys. The little fellas are pretty sharp too. I cut myself not realizing it more than once...
February 12, 200916 yr They look good, but did you ever think about maybe making a T-like shape with the handle? I just figure it might help you hold on better so that your hand doesn't slide down the handle and give blisters while you're scraping the wood.

Never gotten a blister on them and I've mostly just used the steel blades without a handle so I've never worried to much about it.
