  • Card scrapers are super handy to have in the shop, but they get so hot that they can burn your thumbs! Adding a refrigerator magnet to the back completely eliminates this by acting as a heat sink.

    Thanks for a great video. As always.
    My favorite way, however, to cool down tools is to take a break. It never fails.

  • @michaelwarren2391
    @michaelwarren2391 Před rokem +3

    Good idea. Small point - the magnet acts as insulation. If it were a heat sink, it would get hot to keep the scraper cool. Either way, it keeps your thumbs cooler, and that's good.

  • @carolinehawkins1105
    @carolinehawkins1105 Před rokem +4

    I like this idea. But if you are using the scraper a lot then "Pask makes" has a good video called "making a card scraper and holder" to deal with this problem. It also holds the scraper in an adjustable curve.

    I must be a WORTHLESS woodworker... I haven't used a scraper enough for it to get "hot." LOL! I do have limited feeling in my hands though, and I just don't use one that much.
    Awesome tip though! I might try something similar on another task that has nothing to do with woodworking.

  • @MCsCreations
    @MCsCreations Před rokem +4

    It's a pretty good idea indeed! Thanks, dude! 😃
    Depending on how much you're going to use it though (for a whole table top, for example), perhaps you should make a holder for it. A piece of scrap wood and 3 bolts and you're done.
    Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

      Ditto! Arthritis really “spoils “ the process. I found the Veritas holder helped make it more enjoyable.

    Since heat is a major factor in causing a scraper to get dull you may be better off having all four edges sharp and turning the scraper every few strokes.

    A couple of strips of blue painters tape across the middle of the scraper would probably to the same thing.🙂🙂

    @curtispage3148 Před rokem +2

    I prefer to sharpen opposite sides and flip the scraper every few scrapes. Keeps the edges cool so the steel doesn't lose its temper from heat build up
