Let me elaborate. He had a (looked to me) 3/4"x14" scraper with a
traditional looking grind on the end. I am aware that some burr, and
some don't, but I didn't see that on the TV. But looking to be
somewhere between 20 - 30 degrees, he held a long handled scraper on
the tool rest (1/4" from the work) at about 45 degrees (sorry Norm,
if I missed the exact angle due to TV camera distortion). The scraper
was completely supported, and he pushed it right into the work like he
was using a gouge.


Sounds like he was trying to duplicate the profile of the scraper. Sort of
using it like a molding cutter.
