I am building a guitar and have heard that a cabinet scraper is the best way to finish the binding the sound hole rosettes. I have purchased the scraper, the stone, file and burnisher. I have followed three sets of instructions, but the best I can do is make saw dust from the effort. Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction?

I also have a dremel if that is an easier way to get the job done.

Thanks,

David

Easiest way..google Sharpen a cabinet scraper and you'll get several videos. Sounds like you're not getting enough burr rolled on it.

Watch the youtube videos that will come up on a google search, then practice, practice, practice. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but once you know what to look/feel for it will become second nature.

Here's a great article by a great Canadian tool company- Lee Valley Tools (www.leevalleytools.com):

It's a breeze when you follow this.
Good sharpening!

If you're not making dust, you're gathering it. After I reread my own posts, I agree with myself even more.
