Hand scraper with carbide blade, Jarrah handle, patterned after the one from an old Stefan Gotteswinter video. Machine tool rebuilding here I come!

A fun project for a rainy Sunday last weekend, then made the handle this evening. Nice to have it done (except the blade), I've had the material ready for ages.

Process photos of making the clamp. Both sides have a step to locate the blade, the clamp is bent down on the other end to pivot around. Bonus cameo from my recreation of the tap handle from ToT's Operation: Tap Wrench video

Some more process photos of milling the tang and roughing the handle blank. The timber is Jarrah, native to Western Australia, tool marks left in from the spokeshave and knife for texture.

Page holder in Huon pine, carved with hand tools, lightly polished with beeswax. Inspired by the scroll foot on some (I think?) Victorian furniture
