There are a couple of articles in this issue of woodworking for the blind that leave me in the dark. One is the cutting gauge. How does this work. I have tried cutting along a straight edge but the knife blade will either cut into the straight edge or wander away from it, resulting in a ruined ruler and a wavy line. Is the knife captive in the jig so it can't wander? Or is it like a saw guide. I have never used a saw guide but I would think it is hard to move the guide along the ruff edge of the wood while keeping it exactly square.
The other thing I have a question about is the hand scraper. Is it called that because you often wind up scraping your hand on it? Grin. But seriously, it sounds like the writer has stock in the company that makes them. He waxes so eloquent as to make one believe that it is nothing short of magic for smoothing out the surface of wood. I find it hard to believe that even a sighted person could make multiple strokes without leaving edge marks. Or is it as wide as the table top you are trying to smooth out and you only need to make one stroke. Somehow I doubt that. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.
