Homemade cabinet scraper holder?

[gfugal]

Anybody build their own cabinet scraper holder? I've been using my scraper for a little bit and my thumbs are getting real sore. I'm double-jointed in my thumbs so maybe that's a cause of my pain or maybe I'm just week and I need to get used to it. But I thought I might as well see if somebody's built their own and maybe I could do it as well. If you have please share a picture and how you made it

Greg,
I will get a picture of the one I bought at Woodcraft.  It doesn't hold the scraper firmly, but I think the idea is good.  I use my Buck hunting hunting knife, which seems to work well.

I more or less copied Dean Torges. It doesn't hold a cabinet scraper but it works great and I can use it no mater how much my hands hurt.

AaronH made this great lil scraper holder. Contact him if interested.

There are several lovely designs on line if you do an image search. The design above works great if you put a pair of grub screws through the front to hold the scraper blade

Nice thing about this one is it won't damage the string up by the tips so quickly removing material while it's braced if it's a wider type scraper that is.I've got a scraper like this one too.

  This is not exactly what you asked, but I have used a couple dozen things as scrapers over the years, and one of the least fatiguing was a utility knife blade with a small handle.   We used them with the scouts, for instance.

I take a little 2"+ length of 1/2" dia. dowel or something, saw a slot lengthwise and epoxy in the blade. Then just rub the blade to one side forming a hook, like you would to turn a hook on a cabinet scraper, but only on one side.

You can only drag it one direction, but the bulge of the little handle is easier to hold without a death grip.

Here's the commercial one from Woocraft.  I think I like the others better, this one doesn't secure the scraper very well

Veritas makes a really high quality metal one but it will cost you about $50  at Lee Valley.

I just got the Veritas holder a few weeks ago. I really like it. It comes with a scraper so that helped take some of the sting away from the price tag. It was worth it for me. I get sore joints from too much scraping.

I have one of Aaron's scrapers too and really like the way it works.  Like Ed, I work on bows while they are strung, and you have to be careful what you use.

Made this one some 20 years ago out of Elm, the blades are for a jointer.  I've worn almost 1/4" from the wood over the years

Mark,

I have been meaning to file a more of a bevel on my scraper. Do you roll your hook towards the bevel side or the backside?

[Marc St Louis]

No rolling for me, I sharpen mine just like you would a jointer blade.  With heavy pressure I can take off material at a good rate or very little with light pressure.

I've tried retempered files and old saw blades in mine but yesterday I cut up an old pair of those cheap plastic handled scissors and used that for a blade. I worked great just with the dull factory edge. I touched it up and even on knots it just glides right through. I don't know what kind of steel it is but it's very hard, a file won't touch it, but it doesn't seem brittle.
