: In building a Guillemot L, I bought the Crown shavehooks set and a
: little scraper called Pro Prep. The Crown shavehooks are good,
: but I really like the Pro Prep because it is smaller and is
: easily sharpen to a razor edge. The Pro Prep really made the job
: scraper the inside bow and stern much easier than I thought. You
: can quickly sharpen/shape with a machine file which is the best
: feature I like. I worn gloves to prevent hand cuts; its that
: sharp. I used it like a plane by peeling off long thin shavings,
: and I finally used the Pro Prep full time to complete the inside
: of the hull and deck..

I've used the Pro Prep scrapers too for a long time, razor sharp.

For really course work I use the old 4 edge scrapers, nice to have 3 extra edges only a moment away.
