where to buy scraping supplies
I'm looking to scrape some plane soles and learn scraping in general, where do you recommend buying my scraper / layout ink from?
I've got a large flat granite tombstone i'm going to use as a reference plate.

If you are looking to procure a Sandvik scraper, I know that Machtool (of the Melbourne Scraping Workshops) has some for sale, as well as some of his very good self-made ones. I purchased a Sandvik scraper from him and am going to purchase one of his self-made ones very soon.
I have been very happy in my dealings with him and know that a chorus of those who were lucky enough to be able to attend the workshops will back my comments.
Happy scraping.

If you really mean a tombstone, you may want to have a look at this first.

Now if you said you were going to lap it on the tombstone I'd say knock yourself out. But scraping, its just going to make your life hard(depending on what you are starting with and where you want to end up). If your planes arent to big a carba-tec 300x230mm plate is only $62
A roller will be handy also.
One tube of bearing blue would let you do a lot of planes

flatness for planes is pretty forgiving and i'm planning on scraping it to nearly flat then lapping the last bits, would this make sense to do or am I better off just scraping it and leaving it.
The plane i'm doing will be too big for the carbatec one (i had that one orginally and sold it because i was using the tombstone more)

If you're happy the tombstone is flat enough then I'd scrap it and leave it alone.*
As I understand it lapping is likely to make things worse not better.

*But then I've only scraped one plane and never lapped one

Hi,
Definitely don't lap. The problem with a not perfectly flat reference plate is you will get different spottings depending on where you spot on the plate. You may end up chasing you tail a bit. Blue can be had off ebay i think too or just google canode or dykem blue. These are water based products so clean up is easy. In your OP you say layout ink, just so you are clear this is totally different stuff, it is an ink that dries fast for making out.1915 17"x50" LeBlond heavy duty Lathe, 24" Queen city shaper, 1970's G Vernier FV.3.TO Universal Mill, 1958 Blohm HFS 6 surface grinder, 1942 Rivett 715 Lathe, 14"x40" Antrac Lathe, Startrite H225 Bandsaw, 1949 Hercus Camelback Drill press, 1947 Holbrook C10 Lathe.
