My home made Scratch Stock

Never heard that term. I assume it makes that profile?

nice tool !

Nothing better than a well made tool!

Very nice Rick. These tools are great for profiling the edge of curved stock.

Barb.... scratch stocks are awesome. I encourage you to give it a try. Yes they make profiles in wood like what I show. The profile on the blade is cut into the wood by slowly moving it back and forth. It's actually micro planing the wood. I highly recommend Lee Valley's. You can buy blades or make your own. But buying them there's a limit. So I make them out of pieces of bandsaw blades. 

Thanks Pottz and Steve!

You're right Oldtool! Thanks. 
I made a table once and scratch stocked a bead around the top's edge. It turned out awesome! 

Interesting and useful.   

The outcome is looking great.

Thanks Ron and Dutchy! Cheers! 

Nicely done, sir. I made one similar a few years ago, but never really got the profiles cut right to make it work properly. Yours is a beaut!

Thanks Ryan .... it's worth making for sure. Like I mentioned I also have the Lee Valley one. It's very manuverible especially around curves. But my made one has a deeper reach. I use both interchangeably. Definitely worth having.
