To add just a little more information where it wasn't requested, I bought a handy little scraper that worked well for all the finish removal jobs on my M17. BAHCO makes it. The model I have is a 625 ergo. It has replaceable scraping blades (different shapes for different applications--the 1" triangular one worked great for me. You can reposition the blade so you have three total working edges.)
It has a soft handle that's pretty comfortable, which makes it easy to exert just the right amount of pressure on the wood's surface. It was reasonably priced. Maybe 25 bucks? A well designed, useful tool. t _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
