Hey Everyone - I've been trying for the past couple of weeks to get a good scraper to no avail. It dawned on me that my cousin is a member of a forge and would probably be able to make me some if I knew what I wanted... basically, what dimensions with what kind of angle on one edge? I have a cabinet scraper but find it too thin and it flexes a lot compared to what I have used in the past..
Justin, found your post from awhile back and it seems close to what I'm lookin for- just need a few more details.
For anyone interested, I went down to the local welding shop today to get some metal for trade points. While I was there I got a 24"X8" piece of stainless sheet metal and they used their shear to cut it to scraper sized pieces. I came out with 6 4"x8" stainless scrapers plus a piece for points for $3. I also asked about high carbon steel (like band saw blades) for more points and they gave me 3 old blades from their saw that are 1"x 8' long. It might be worth a trip to your local welding or metal shop. Justin
Thanks for the help!
