I was taught most of what that video shows - true up the edge then use a hard steel burnishing tool with the goal being to get a very fine burl along the edges. I wasn't taught to lap the edges but whatever it takes to get a consistent edge is good.

When I used them when building longrifles I would just take a screwdriver shaft and hold it at 90 degrees to the scraper and run it back and forth until I got a good burr.

I just run a file down the scraper. You can burnish etc but the burr wears down pretty fast.
Some people just run it across a belt sander.

Easy to do, I can explain it on here but there are many YouTube videos that will show you a whole lot quicker.
