Hi Jeremy
Pete Gilbert recently had an article in FWW mag on this very subject ...

There is also a video here ...

For scraping which needs a round scraper, my go to is this thick scraper I made from the rear of an O1 plane blade.
It is sharpened by hollow grinding the sides ..
.... on a bench grinder ...
It holds an edge a long time. I use a CBN wheel, generally an 80 grit (just because it is quicker as it is immediately available). A higher grit could be assumed to produce a finer finish. The finish, nevertheless, is surprisingly excellent. I highly recommend others making something similar.
Regards from Perth
