Hi All,
I am just after some advice about using scratch stocks. I want to create a small bead on a curved apron for a side table i am making. I mad the scratch stock out of an old saw and flattened it on a stone.
It works great going along the grain, but as the wood has some curves in it, it "catches" and gest stuck and tears when it crosses the grain.
I an having trouble with this. I have ended up using the scratch stock freehand, as it seems to work better than when i had it held in a some wood with a fence. I have tried tilting the blade and going very lightly to build up, but doesn't seem to make much difference.
In the end i have resorted to using a chisel to sever the wood fibres where ever it catches on the grain. This helps but still not great.
Any ideas?
