Once you fall in love with scraping and cut up old saws to make 
scrapers............
  I'll cut scrapers for any occasion!
Long ones, curved ones, skinny ones, pointy ones, whatever I need.

I also have a drawer of old chisels too far gone for their original 
purpose, or just too crappy to want to save. You can grind old chisels 
into plenty of "save your life" tools too.  Even if its a one time 
occasion.
I just ground an old chisel square across (zero bevel) with just a bit 
of hollow grind. I needed a one tooth file for scraping a plane bed I 
was carving. It worked really well even in the most hostile wood I ever 
worked, ipe.

  Whenever I got to a tough place I usually just make a tool. Seldom 
pretty to start. If I like it and need it I'll either put some lipstick 
on her, or make a new more shapely tool.
    I can't imagine living any other way.

yours scott
