Cabinet Scrapers

I have heard a number of builders recommend cabinet scrapers as an invaluable tool in kayak building, so I looked into getting one. The scrapers themselves are not expensive ($6.00 - $10.00), but the catalog companies do a good job of convincing you that you also need a filing jig to get agood 90 degree edge ($15.00 -$ 30.00), a burnisher to give it that fine hook cutting edge($16.00 - $31.00), and maybe even a scraper holder ($24.00 - $28.00).

Do you need all these extras, can you do without them , or are there home grown ways of getting a scraper tuned up right?

By the way, I found this information in Japan Woodworker, WoodCraft, and Woodworker's Supply catalogs.

Thanks, Will
