Thanks and a tip-'o'-the-hat to @AlanCarruth for the scrapers he designed for StewMac. As I've progressed through my current build, this tool has come to almost live in my hand.
It's easy to get some pretty nasty scratches from a rasp in end-grain components like the heel or volute. One of these scrapers makes removing those scratches short work, much easier than trying to sand them out.
They work great on bindings.
As I've started finishing, they are superb for removing runs, sags or drips (I'm brushing Brite Tone). I'm getting about 3 coats on each day, and in the morning, after the most recent coat has had overnight to set up, I'll inspect carefully, and if I find any goofs (like if some finish drips through the tuner holes onto the opposite face, collecting around the rim of the hole), I'll go at the mound with this scraper before I start that day's applications.
Also, I had some spots that needed attention after pore-filling with epoxy. I put one of the pup cavities in the wrong spot, and made a good repair, but had two tiny screw holes where I'd mounted the template. There was also a bit of a low spot next to the repair, and a small shallow divot fell out of the veneer. For each spot, I drop-filled with epoxy, let it cure, then used this scraper to get it almost perfectly flush so that a couple of strokes with sandpaper blended it right in (see below).
I hope Alan gets a nice royalty/licensing fee on these! Highly recommended!
