Snips... ;-)Cautionary eBay Tale So there I was, rooting about on the Bay, when I thought I'd see if there were any cheap cabinet scrapers to be had. I'd been doing some scraping with a card scraper and my fingers and wrist were getting a little pooped (tired, J.). I was thinking something along the lines of a Stanley 80 or cheap knockoff that I could soup up. Low and behold, what should I spy butt a scraper with holes in the handles, sort of configured like the afore mentioned #80. It wasn't getting any attention, so I posted the minimum bid, like 6.50. Well, I won (?) the auction and waited for my prize to arrive. This guy was a slowww shipper, butt the tool arrived after a couple of weeks. The tool turned out to be a cast iron spokeshave! No markings of any sort anywhere on it, either. I spotted one in the spokeshave department just like it with Dunlop on the lever cap screw. So I sharpened it up and it doesn't work half bad, especially considering the price. Only now I STILL need a cabinet scraper! Spike Cornelius |
