I was going  back and forth over scrapers.   I thought maybe I really liked a Glenn Lucas negative rake scraper.  Then I saw a Kelton tool.  It's got a little pivot.  I had a Sorby scraper blade. so I made a Kelton  type  drop edge tool

 

here it is going slowly

 

The Kelton model is built with a  7/8" bar the milled flats on the Kelton model are superfluous I think. But the heavier bar is helpful and I plan on upgrading to a 1" bar.

I can say that if you were on the fence about the Kelton unit that it is probably worth the money because the design works

Here's the  unsanded Maple surface it leaves behind.

It's a codec of a sort that allows your browser to play some kind of content.  I'm using SmugMug.  I got sick and tired of the plethora of bad things from you tube and photobucket  and figured that if I'm paying $40 a year for hosting that they can be sued if they screw me up.  A little harder to do with photobucket where the one time I used their bulk uploading tool I got a ton of malware and voruses.

Its' looking for adobe flash according to my browser...

Switched to Google Chrome and it works! FireFox needs an add-on.

You need to raise the scraper about a half inch so that you aren't scraping below center.  That rough grinding sound is the scraper digging into end grain because of self feeding when the scraper is below center.  It also looks like the tool is being used with too much pressure.  The scraper is primarily for taking feather light clean-up cuts before final sanding.
