Swiss Scraping or scraping from the shoulder
Whilst wasting away the minutes (hours?) on utube i found this scraping vid. The technique may be not be new to some of you but i had never seen it before. Any one tried it, or can comment on its effectiveness? On holding a serving spoon the same way the first thing i notice is you need to look around your bottom hand to see what you are doing.
The video description in English is: This video explains the basics of scraping at the shoulder (Swiss scraping).

For me, this technique is quite ineffective, slow and non-natural. Almost as funny as the Japanese technique where they push the scraper with their hip.
No matter how I personally think about it, try it yourself and pick the one you like most.

Wow some of that just looks wrong to me... but what would I know.
Though spreading blue with paper towel and brushing off the swarf right next to your plate......?
Certainly seems to move metal though.
Joes got one, I think he likes it.

I made a Swiss scraper on the basis of that video a year ago. I practised a little and demonstrated it at the first scraping class. I used mild steel and a steel tube fot the handle and a triangular carbide bit silver soldered in the end (because I had one). Sorry the end is blurry.
I quite like it for very small surfaces or jobs with lots of holes in it, because I can control where it goes a little easier than pushing.
Other than that I prefer the 'standard' scraper or my Aldi power scraper.
Cheers
Joe
