Richard King,
Your scraping class in MN this fall was great!
Thank you for allowing us to use your Glendo for sharpening.
I think you observed that it might possible to fab a scraper sharpener using a diamond wheel.
Question:
Historically what was used to sharpen scrapers before diamond wheels?
Were simple fixed stones used, with possibly a jig, such as is sometimes used to hold wood plane cutters?
An Arkansas stone would make sense for HSS, but not carbide.
I'm wondering if a diamond flat stone would work until I get my diamond wheel fab done.
Suggestions?
Thank you,
Daryl
