The Veritas scraper shave is a versatile small scraper suitable for small-scale work, fine detailing, or any application where a normal scraping plane would be too large. The design of the tool allows a controlled scraping action that effectively smoothes the workpiece.
The Veritas scraper shave is a versatile small scraper suitable for small-scale work, fine detailing, or any application where a normal scraping plane would be too large. The design of the tool allows a controlled scraping action that effectively smoothes the workpiece. It can be used as a companion tool with the Veritas chair devils for smoothing non-round chair parts such as crest rails, arm bows and seat blank edges.
Similar in construction to the chair devils, it has a machined steel body, comfortable bubinga handles, and a solid brass machined toe and thumbscrews. The high-carbon steel blade is 0.040" thick and hardened to Rc48-52, with a 45° cutting edge that can be readily burnished to create a long-lasting hook.

Which plane to start with depends on what you will do, but for most people a smoothing plane (No. 4) or a jack plane (No. 5) is a good first choice. The smoothing plane gives smooth surfaces, and the jack plane is a versatile plane for both rough work and truing edges.
Low-angle jack planes such as the Lie-Nielsen No. 62 and the Veritas low-angle jack are also popular all-round planes. A block plane is a good addition for end grain and chamfers. The guide explains how the hand plane is built and which types exist.
Planes of cast iron and steel rust easily, especially in unheated workshops and from moisture on your hands. Wipe the plane after use and protect bare surfaces with a thin layer of wax or oil that will not mark the wood.
Store your planes dry, ideally in a plane sock or box. If rust has already formed, the guide shows how to clean and protect them.
A card scraper is a thin steel plate that scrapes smooth surfaces, especially on difficult wood. It is sharpened in three steps: the edge is filed straight, honed smooth and then turned into a small burr with a burnisher. The burr is what cuts.
When the scraper stops making shavings, you can often turn the burr again with the burnisher. The guide shows it step by step.
