This video is for any woodworker that has difficulty learning how to sharpen a cabinet scraper or card scraper (I use the terms interchangeably.)I use a very simple method of sharpening this tool using only a few strokes on a mill file. Typical methods are very complicated and frustrating for many woodworkers and the cabinet scraper ends up lying in the bottm of a tool drawer never to be used.I find this a shame because it is an amazing tool and I could not live without it in my shop. I share the very method that I use to sharpen this tool and I have used it on all of my high-end furniture projects with great success.I use simple instruction and close-up shots to demonstrate sharpening and scraping technique.If you are looking for a simple method to sharpen the cabinet scraper, this is the video for you.Peace, Love, & WoodworkingTodd A.

The goal of the American Craftsman Workshop is to share woodworking skills and ideas. I am a professional Designer~Craftsman and I have built a fine portfolio of unique high-end projects. I am self-taught but my achievements were not without guidance from other fine woodworkers that were generous with their knowledge and support. This video medium is an opportunity for me to share with larger group than would be possible otherwise. I am sharing with others because of the generosity that has been shown to me. This is why I came up with the motto "Share the Love~Share the Knowledge." I also believe that woodworkers rate among the finest and most genuine people. If more focused on a craft like this, whatever it may be, the world could be a more peaceful and productive place. This is how I came up with my other favorite motto which I shall leave you with.Peace, Love, & WoodworkingTodd A. Clippingerhttp://www.amcraftsman.com
