Scythe Mowing Technique - Learn to Scythe

[@ErniePantuso]

Well done mate! I have seen old farmers in Hungary mowing like this, and whenever I tried I ended up failing. This is a major task to learn this. If anything you have to "feel" the correct position and you have to be fit all in the right places to be able to control the scythe. Hats off to you.

Thank you. That is a great description- "To feel the correct position". I may steal that line for a future video :)

This looks so much more relaxing and maybe easier than using a petrol mower. Cheaper too!

[@iboughtafield]

Hi nice job, i start moving my land since two years, Begenning was not easy but now after two years tractice i love it. It's always a great pleasure to do it. Always a quite and peace time whith nature. Mowing whith a razor blade it's something great to feel, a soo glad to see the result. Thanks for the videos, if that could give ideas to people to let down petrol tools it's great. Respect the nature and animals to, whith econonic and silence choice. Renaud H from Normandie.

Thank you Renaud. It is lovely to hear about other people using Scythes in different places but with similar experiences of quiet and peace.

interresting coincedence, I am considering of whether it'd be cheaper to just buy a scythe instead of a lawn mower. (i am supposed to do more important stuff) i could also buy a Scythe in my local hardware-store

[@iboughtafield]

It takes some time to learn to mow with a scythe, but it makes a fantastic hobby. I have a video on buying a scythe which I'll add a link to when I get on my computer. I also have some footage on buying the cheapest scythe I could find off ebay to compare it against the wooden ones that I use. It will take me some time to put it into a video, but as a summary a cheap scythe can be used to cut well with some work peening (flattening) the blade and it could be worth it if you want to try scything without the high investment, but a cheaper blade may be off-putting due to the extra work required.
