One thing I see, that isn't new, but I keep forgetting to ask about,
is a burnisher for turning scrapers:

I don't recall any discussion of this for turning tools, at least
not here. Does anyone have experience with burnishing vs. grinding
for scraper hooks and how they cut?

It sounds like something very quick (even quicker than spinning up
the grinder) to refresh.

I find scrapers very friendly to this (slow moving) newbie bowl
turner, and I'm tempted for a payday or two from now. (Of course,
the garage may be getting cold by then.)

I have tried both ways, and get more catches using a burnished hook.
Maybe I need more practice.
