Hey guys, anyone have any jigs, or attachments to make it easier to use a scraper for someone with arthritis in their fingers. I usually have to put the scraper down after a few minutes scraping. Would appreciate any ideas to make this easler. So far, my own ideas haven't worked out.

If you are using a standard card scraper then I would recommend you try one of the Carruth Ultimate scraper from StewMac. I find it much, much easier to use and I think it works as good as or better than the traditional scrapers.

This might be a little easier on the hands and wrists. http://www.leevalley.com/en/Wood/page.a ... 10&p=32669

Stanley No. 80 is OK for preparing wood. Doubt you would want to use it on a near finished instrument though.
