Getting old and the hands don't work as well as they use to. Flexing a scraper to get a decent surface. So anyone use a scraper and is the only reason they are so expensive that there's only a couple of makers of them?

You are a woodworker, why not build your own? There is a set of plans out there more recent than these (frankly this one is ugly)

That uses a Hock blade set at something like 95degrees. I built one, and it works okay. I prefer a Cabinet Scraper, (Stanley #80), which are on Ebay for anywhere from $20 on up.

Then there is this from Lumberjocks. There is also a set of plans in one of the woodworking mags that was published about a year ago.
