Tool of the Month July 2020

Welcome to July’s Tool of the Month!

Here’s a quick look at a neat little scraper burnisher I picked last week.

Burnishers are used to sharpen card scrapers (also known as cabinet scrapers) by forming a very sharp cutting hook.

I spotted this neat little burnisher on Classic Hand tool’s Instagram feed the other week and really liked the design! I think it’s perfect for people new to sharpening card scrapers due to its clear and safe two handed design and excellent instructions. For just under £10 it’s definitely earned a place in the tool kit i provide for students attending my courses.

That’s all for July, look out for news about resuming courses and visiting the workshop coming soon!
