Veritas Round Burnisher
The secret to effective hand scraping is a good hook on the edge of the scraper. The Veritas burnisher has an extra hard, smooth finish that not only forms a uniform hook on all shapes of scrapers, but also minimises friction during burnishing.
Hardened to Rc58-60, this burnisher is substantially harder than the scrapers on which it is used. The 5/16" diameter A2 tool steel rod is 4 3/4"...
Veritas Japanese Style Awl
These Veritas Japanese style awls have accurately turned conical tips, strong bolsters and comfortable handles. The tip is A2 steel hardened to Rc60-62 for toughness, and can be replaced if damaged.
The bolster, made from stainless steel, transitions smoothly into the taper of the handle to provide a larger hand contact area. The hard maple handles have been torrefied, a heating process that changes...

Veritas 14° Dovetail Saddle Marker (1:4)
This new 14° marker is designed to approximate a 1:4 ratio, for those who prefer this angle when working in thinner stock, as it not only provides stronger material interlock than traditional ratio angles but produces a slightly exaggerated dovetail joint that many find attractive.
The long legs ensure accurate registration. Also, much like the Veritas saddle square they are based on, they allow...

Auriou 'Mellow Hog' Rasp

The blade, made of PM-V11 tool steel, is 3/32"...
Sharpen This
by Christopher Schwarz
Sharpening is not a sport.
If you want to be a better woodworker, you need to learn to sharpen. If you want to be a better sharpener, you need to stop paying so much attention to tertiary bevels and carbide formations in steel and start paying attention to the wood. If the wood is cut cleanly, then your tools are sufficiently sharp. If the wood is torn out and covered in...
