   I wish you had spent a few minutes on scraper accessories and scraper planes. Not every one has the hand strength to use scrapers unaided. Otherwise, this was the best series on hand planes and sharpening I have seen. Very well done!! As a woman, I couldn't help wishing you had a manicure before all the close-ups of your hands.

   user-6057898,

   Ha! We get more flack when we cut our nails before a shoot than when we don't! Thanks for balancing that out. ;)

   I have many old planes that were passed down from my great grandfather. After watching videos I will be able to tune them up and use them.
   Thanks for a great lesson

   I have a burnisher that looks like the one you use in the video #7 on scraper. However, yours looks like it has an almost flat side where mine is round. Is this true? Just an illusion? If true, what is the brand of your burnisher?
   Great video series, thanks much.

   The ten episodes by Mike Pekovich are excellent. The tips he explained and showed will be elements that are most useful and will improve my woodworking skills. It is so nice to be able to use sharp tool when one learns how to do proper sharping.
   Thanks Mike

   Mike has such a nice way of presenting detailed instructions, saying why, and how to avoid problems, which is important. Very friendly and supportive.

   I couldn't get a number of the videos to run, starting with EP3. 1&2 were fine and 4 was OK. All the rest won't load.

   We're having video host issues right now. Working on it.

    What thickness scraper are you using Mike?

    Very insightful video. What is the double-sided diamond plate that Mike is using in this video? I'd like to purchase one, but they are pricey and would appreciate a recommendation.
