Alcune note tecniche sull'utilizzo della rasiera per tirare le fasce a spessore

⬇️⬇️ (English translation of the Italian text with timestamps) ⬇️⬇️

00:05 - On the use of the scraper for ribs thicknessing

00:09 - Use a stiff scraper (1 mm thickness) perfectly straight and sharpened at 90° (with double cutting edge) with the burr turned with the burnisher

00:17 - Hold the scraper firmly, placing thumbs close to the cutting edge

00:24 - Shifting the pressure on the thumbs will be possible to vary the cutting point of the scraper

00:37 - Keep the little fingers resting on the work board and let them slide, adjusting the pressure and maintaining constant the angle of cut

00:45 - Bend slightly the scraper to avoid getting a convex surface, pushing with your thumbs and pulling with the other fingers (index, middle and ring)

01:01 - Hold the scraper inclined with respect to the flame to avoid creating undulations

01:14 - Keep the little fingers always resting on the work board letting them slide, to maintain the parallelism between the cutting edge and work board surface

01:27 - To obtain a more uniform thickness is preferable to give shorter shots moving uniformly along the rib, rather than giving a single shot to the entire length of the rib

01:42 - Working perpendicular to the flame to remove the hump that forms at the end of the rib

01:50 - Do not push, but pull the scraper, while holding the rib with the other hand

02:04 - To remove all the undulations keep the cutting edge inclined at 45 ° with respect to the flame, "pulling" the scraper with little pressure and using the other hand to hold the rib

02:23 - Always use a perfectly sharp scraper, to avoid to overly compress the wood fiber

02:29 - Restore frequently the burr with the burnisher, to ensure the efficiency of the cutting edge

02:39 - Turn the burr using the lowest possible pressure with the least possible angle (about 5°)
