Hello,
I just purchased a Stanley No. 82 scraper at a flea market. It is in beautiful condition. I’d like to know more about it. I also would like to use it in my shop. It seems that it works on the push stroke instead of the pull stroke of todays tools. What do I need to do to sharpen and make it work for me.
Thanks
Ron

Ron,
Sharpen the blade the same way you would a card scraper, but take the corners off to avoid tracks. The amount of hook you use will depend on the aggressiveness you want. Definitely for use with the pull stroke, rather than the pull.
