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.
