Scraper?? I don't need to BUY no stinkin' scraper
I got desperate for a scraper today, so grabbed one of my putty knives
(Now dammit; no laughing!!!!) and proceeded to flatten the edge on a diamond sharpener. Ran a screwdriver shank over it about half a dozen times, and damn if I couldn't feel a sharp edge! Ran over to the glue-up drawer front (yesterday's screw-up, which I salvaged) and scraped a bit of protruding edge to flush the two pieces up. Damn if that wasn't almost mystical! You Neanders JUST might have something there. The grain was just POPPING out at me! I guess I could skip the $18 burnishing tool when I get a set or "real" scrapers? BTW what's the difference between a scraper that is labeled a scraper and a scraper that I "made"? 1. Better cachet 2. Edge will last longer 3. Both one and two 4. None of the above dave |

Cut a scraper out of the steel and go to town. You'll probably have better steel in there than what's in your putty knife. You can also cut shapes to match any profile that you need. |

Cool. thanks, CP. I'll keep my eye out for a saw going on the cheap.

The biggest difference between a "real" scraper and your putty knife scraper
is that a real scraper is probably cheaper than your putty knife and has a lot longer edge to work with. A regular scraper may hold its hook longer than your putty knife.

Hi,
You probably mean pushrods; hydraulic lifters are too short & thick to make a decent burnisher, and I think they have only two polished areas, rest is rough cast.

Having been in and retired from the automotive industry for 20+ years, and concerning most any Chevy V8, I can honestly say that I have never heard of a "Push Rod" being the slang term for "lifter" or "valve lifter". Valve lifters, be they hydraulic, solid or roller, are used along with "Push Rods". Push rods and lifters are 2 different parts. Anyway, you will normally find most Chevy engines small or big block, equipped with hydraulic lifters and hollow push rods. So, which is it, the 3" x 3/4" lifter, or the 10" x 1/4" push rod? ;~) Seems the longer push rod would be much easier to use given its much longer length. The Lifter on the other hand would seem to be more difficult to use because it is shorter and many have indention's on the sides that would interrupt the smooth surface. |

Burnishers are very smooth and very hard. I made mine out of a 3/8 x 3"
dowel pin. This is not what you might thing of as a dowel. These are used as alignment pins in machinery. They are as hard as a file and ground to a very high surface finish. Mount in a handle. Someplace like Grainger or Rutland tool would have them. I even saw some at Eagle (before they became Lowes). "Bay Area Dave" wrote in message om... Is a real burnisher smooth?

Uh, Dave, that link goes back to June, when you were flapping your gums about things of which you knew even less than you do now. There's no vitriol there, just a bit of pointed humor. Here's a dare for you. I dare you to post no more than three times a day for two weeks. I guarantee that if you put a bit more thought into your posts, actually THINKING about your questions a bit before flooding the NG with them, you would see far fewer responses of an insulting nature. It is the incessant chatter, pointless blather, and useless responses to countless threads that fuels my desire to dope-slap you all the time. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Familiarity breeds contempt. Think you can do it? Three times a day, for two weeks. Shut your yap and listen instead of reporting every stupid goddamn thing you do all day long. The only responses you'll get from me will be of a serious, helpful nature. For two weeks, at least. Scott |
Scraper?? I don't need to BUY no stinkin' scraper
On 19 Nov 2003, Bay Area Dave spake unto rec.woodworking:
hmm... you only cursed once. I think that's a record, Scotty! I will not limit my posts, but feel free to respond to only three of mine per day, with serious responses to serious WW questions. We can both skip all the OT bs and make EVERYONE happier in the process. So, meet me half way? That's the deal. Ball's in your court. Sorry, Dave. It's your diarrhea of the mouth, in conjunction with constipation of the brain, that's at the heart of the issue. It's only for two weeks. Can't even bear the thought of it, can you? On 19 Nov 2003, Bay Area Dave spake unto rec.woodworking: Scott, you never cease to amaze me with your venom. Have you tried therapy to deal with your anger? I feel a limerick about to be born... There once was a crackpot named Scott Who wasn't as smart as he thought For always he demeaned others Knew not the meaning of "brothers" Will his vitriol ever stop?

Scott:
I know BAD get's "into it" with several, but I also have learned to appreciate his on-topic posts. I can't remember much about your on-topic posting. Care to remind me before I make the "tank/don't tank" decision?

On 19 Nov 2003, Rob Stokes spake unto rec.woodworking:
Scott: I know BAD get's "into it" with several, but I also have learned to appreciate his on-topic posts. I can't remember much about your on-topic posting. Care to remind me before I make the "tank/don't tank" decision? I will readily confess that the last few days have seen an orgy of BAD bashing. And I will also confess to offering smartass remarks in about a 3:1 ratio with useful advice. But I do indeed help when I have something to offer. For sheer volume of posts, BAD has no peers. Consider the numbers, look at the chaff:wheat proportions, and then explain why he shouldn't take me up on the dare! Scott |
