The burnisher I have so far is a rod protruding into a slot in a handle. This rod is inserted at an angle into a disk which can b rotated to adjust the angle of attack on the edge of the blade then locked with a thumb screw. This helps to maintain an accurate angle and protect the hands however the little mark on the disk to indicate the angle is very small and hard to detect, I think I will deepen it a little with a dril. I am not quite clear on where it needs to point to indicate angle but I expect there is probably a scale I can't see, I'll have to remember to get someone to tell me.

Dale, One detail I left out is,, as mentioned in the other descriptive article, when you're bernishing the flat edge to raise the feather, it does require a deal of pressure downwards. It is darned easy to have the end of the bernisher slip off the scraper and whack a hand on the blade as it slips. Take care how you hold the bernisher so this is less likely to happen.
