Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!
Unusual scrapers, or are they?

Interesting, new to me as well. It would be simple enough to make one like that.

New to me too. Basically a simple rasp I suppose.

Interesting. Reminds me a bit of a planemaker's float. I wonder if it's a pig to sharpen.

I wonder if you would just drag it backwards over a fine file, and just raise a burr on each one. They're glued in place, so I don't see how you could deal with each blade individually.
According to Google:-
"This is a traditional woodworking tool known as a "centipede plane" or U-shaped planer, featuring a rosewood handle and multiple manganese steel blades for leveling straight circular parts of hardwood. [1, 2]"

Looks like my original link is a homemade version with simpler straight blades.

Me too, Andy. Deffo in the last 5 years or so.I'm sure I have seen pictures of an old one somewhere but haven't been able to work out where it was.
Maybe a curiosity publicised by the Cousins across the Pond, or, possibly Jake Whatisname on the Aussie forum; him what used to canibalise (beautifully) standard planes to make them do extraordinary things.
Or King Crimson sharing a 'wizard wheeze'....mind just won't crystalise it.
