Banding material scrapers?

<< < (4/4)

bluenoser:
I have made scrapers from various materials - including banding material, and have found used handsaws to be the best source for material.  The better handsaws generally get thinner as they get further away from the teeth and closer to the spine and, consequently, are not the best source of material in my opinion.  I find the lesser quality saws having a constant thickness to work the best.  They can be cut with a good hacksaw and hardening and tempering are not required.

Here are a few of my more useful scrapers for detail work.



Some are hooked, but most are square edged.  I don't hesitate to move back and forth to suit the circumstances.

I have had some luck making them from used hack saw blades
