Just ran across an interesting article (brought to my attention by Gene at WWA). Involves a new and improved scraping insert being developed by one of the men who invented the current Lee Valley scraping plane insert . He has designed improvements for the insert and is developing a version to market on his own. Details can be seen in this article. I’m intrigued with the idea of using it in a jointer plane. My hands don’t take kindly to using a card scraper for any length of time, so a plane-mounted scraper would be nice.

Paul's scraper insert appears to be a real advance in holding mechanisms. I look forward to its final release. It is just a prototype at present.
I was inspired by this to try out the following idea:
