Card scrapers are invaluable tools in the wood shop...once you figure out how to sharpen them! I struggled for a long time to figure out how to get perfect curls from my card scrapers on my woodworking projects. Fortunately, I've figured out how to sharpen a card scraper, and I'm sharing it with you today. If you follow these steps, you'll turn a burr without any issues.
Happy Easter! This is an important day for me as I celebrate Jesus' loving gift of mercy and life. He is risen!
