  Bench side instruction on tuning, sharpening and using scraping tools. This is perhaps one of the most anticipated DVDs Rob has made. Many people own scraping tools but don't know how to use them and the "how to" information is scarce. This DVD will teach you how to sharpen and use card scrapers, cabinet scrapers and scraper planes. In a step-by-step fashion Rob will carefully walk you through explaining and demonstrating along the way. With figured wood, scraping can be the most efficient way to process and prepare the surface. Without the cost, dust and noise of power sanding, removing a sub one thou shaving from figured wood can be as much fun as the finished product. Over 1 1/2 hours of personal instruction from the bench of one of today's leading hand tool coaches.
