Seeing the quality of the work you guys turn out its almost embarrassing to post this, but here goes...
Made a scraper from start to finish tonight. Quite satisfying to complete something in one session, as normally my projects are spread over a number of evenings.
Apart from the new carbide insert, the rest was just some scrap 25x4 HRS flat, an old paint roller handle and a M6 screw.
Its a bit rough, but seems functional. I haven't done any scraping before, just watched lots of videos and done a bit of reading.
I know the scraper definitely needs a radius on the cutting edge as its pretty much straight now.
