Why isn't this excellent video still available? The best explanation I've seen.
I also can not find the video. Is there a reason that it is not available?
I'll figure out what's going on with this when I get in the office tomorrow morning.
Didn't see your comment pointing it out MkCshop, apologies.
I have to pay for a subscription then watch an ad on top of it? That decision for your business doesn't sit well with me. Delete the ads!

I've been trying to understand how to sharpen a scraper for a while now. This is the best explanation I've found. Thanks Mike!
Really simple and clear. Reasonably confident I can now sharpen my scrapers effectively. Thanks.
This is an excellent video. I used this method today and got the best results I've had with a scraper, ever. Mike P is a natural teacher--thanks for the generous content
I have been using this method for something over a year now. It has completely transformed my scrapers from things to be fought with and cursed at, into useful tools that I enjoy using.
Thank you. Mike!
Best explanation ever for sharpening a scraper. I’ve been trying to use this tool on and off for 30 years and never got very far. When I first viewed this video I thought “nah, that CAN’T work.” Almost no pressure, only a couple passes with the burnisher, just too simple. But then I tried it, and it’s the bomb. I’ve been working on a big set of bookshelves and have been using my scraper almost non-stop for the last 4 days, with a smile on my face the whole time! Thank you Mike — this one video alone made my FWW membership worth it.
This is an excellent explanation. But, I'd like to see it taken further with curved scrapers.
