: Well, not exactly under my nose...and not in my nose either, thats where
: filler comes from when not wearing the dust mask :) ....but I digress.

: I found that I have access to some great 18ga 304 stainless scrap that is
: left after a holepunching operation out in the factory where I work. The
: edges have quite a fantastic burr on them as a result of the punching
: operation. No sharpening necessary!!!

: I can't describe the pleasure of seeing perfect huge curls of wood comming up
: off of these beauties....I kept getting sawdust in the corners of my mouth
: as my silly grin worked its way out past the edges of my dust
: mask....sorry,I'm a little excited since I had a LOT of wood to remove
: inside the deck after a less than careful job stripping. I was dreading a
: long week of sanding but finished the job last night in a couple of hours.
: They definately are for rough removal, not finish work because the burr is
: not uniform.

: Thought I'd pass along the idea.

: Got some new pictures up at the link below.

Keep the ideas Ben, just pass along some of the scrapers. Wow! What a business opportunity. and CHEAP! :)
