Veritas Cabinet Scraper question

Joe in a Cleveland Suburb

>Hi folks.

I usually post on the regular message board but I just bought the subject scraper and thought this would be the best place to ask. With other planes I've purchased in the past, I've always tuned them prior to use. Including LN planes.

Is there anything special I should do with this scraper plane before use? Should I make sure the sole is flat and so on? I plan to use this for finer work opposed to removing glue and so on.

Any advice/suggestions?

Thank you,

Joe

Don't touch the plane... work on the blade...

Cheers -

(Ps - I really like pulling this plane for heavier cuts...)

>All you have to di is sharpen the blade. I would use it with out a burr on the blade wor awile to get used to it befor trying to roll a burr. This is a wonderfull p;ane to use. I would all ways try a plane out befor doing any flatting of or radical work on a plane. most times all they need is cleaned and sharpened. LN's are allways ready to go.

>Now Rob,

For Christmas, I didn't receive my LV scraping plane, but just a card with a picture on it.

Now how do I prepare this for scraping? Or should I just wait for January 12?

Hope you and your family (and your Dad) had a very Merry Christmas, and the best for the New Year. Also the best to the fine people you have working for you!

>Funny, I rec'vd a LV gift certificate and my #1 consideration is a scraper plane; I am not (so far) a huge fan of LV planes (but am admittidly fanatical about most of their stuff), but the scraper plane is calling to me. Or maybe a medium shoulder plane, because the 3 I already have is not enough,...

>Dang... I did not not even get a picture.

I had to make do with cutting pictures out of the catalog and hanging them on the tree. I strategically placed a few in the refridgerator; they are still there!

Oh well.... Happy New Year to one and all.
