So a while back I bought a card scraper. Two weeks ago I bought a burnisher Rockwell 65. Now I have been watching many YouTube videos on sharpening the card. I tried one suggestion and it failed. So back to YouTube I went try the next. Humm same results. Well I finally landed on Marc Spagnola’s YouTube chanel who I already subscribe to and watched his demonstration. First I file it back square, then I polish the end then with the scraper flat I start a bur. Then stand it up and roll the burr. Now this is pretty much what I have watched on YouTube except for marc laying his flat first to start the burr. Now im saying that I failed on marcs YouTube advice because all I get is a very tiny burr that dont produce any shavings. All I get is scratches in the wood.
SO, I am calling upon you my fellow woodworkers to help me in fine tuning my inexperience in card sharpening. What am I missing in all of this?
