No they really work well. I have a friend who uses a fiber optic light to do this. I just wanted to go the cheaper route. What you do is tape the light to the top of the tool, turn the lights off in the shop and the light attached to the scraper shines through the walls of the vessel.davidwalser said:I doubt attaching the light to your scraper would work no matter how bright the light. That is, if the idea is to have the light on as you make your cut with the hope the light would shine through the wood to indicate you've got the piece thin enough, wouldn't the shavings from your cut quickly block the light? So, too, wouldn't the shaper itself often be between the wood and the light -- casing a shadow instead of the beam you are looking for?
