My own sharpening method is pretty much identical to yours Dave, so I know your advice here is sound. Scrapers are simple but wonderful tools. I also love my very useful #80 type scraper plane. Great video!

That was interesting. It seems I’ve been doing it wrong all along, which probably accounts for my poor results. I always thought the burr from filing flat was the “edge” to be sharpened. The guy in the video removed the burr. I’m going to try this method out. Thanks for posting this!
