What was this machine for? - Restoration

In today's video, we showed the renovation of the Dengelfix scythe, which is more than 100 years old.
This device is screwed to the table, the scythe is guided through the device and the blade is flattened by turning the crank.
This lever regulates the width of the blade, narrow and wide, it should be 3 - 6 mm.
Finally, lightly drag the scythe with a whetstone. The use of the scythe has been documented in Europe since the early Iron Age, especially the so-called short scythe mounted on the mower at an obtuse angle. Since the Middle Ages, long scythes, similar to today's, have been replaced.
And nowadays scythes are used very little. They have been replaced by mechanical equipment such as agricultural and domestic lawn mowers. If you liked our video, leave subscription, like, share.
And one last question at the end of the ball are you ever scythe? or have you tried mowing with this traditional scythe on the grass?
Write us your experience in the comments Have a nice day and see you again next time :)

Good morning, Vietnam!

I found this very interesting, I worked as a kennel maid for a time as a teenager. One of my jobs there was to use a scythe on the grass which the dogs could play on. I sharpened this with a whet stone . I was fifteen, my first job after leaving school. Now I will be seventy next month, This brought back lots of memories.

[@BS-ys8zn]

Grandpa, who passed in the 1960's, cut the yard with a scythe. Every time I see a Grim Reaper I'm reminded of Grandpa. I still have his scythe hanging in the garage, it's in need of sharpening.

Dengelfix - german (may be bavarian) word "dengeln" means sharpening a scythe by hammering

[@erwintoegel6437]

Also in austria a household name...

[@ponderstibbons3718]

Its a two part german „Lego“ word… Dengeln means sharpening by hammering, fix means fast, so its a fast sharpener.

Ich wusste, was es ist, als ich den Namen Dengelfix las. Mein alter Nachbar war eine Koriphäe im Dengeln von Sensen. Das Dengeln von Hand ist eine Kunst und mein Nachbar beherrschte diese perfekt. Leider verstarb er bereits vor über 20 Jahren im stolzen Alter von 91 Jahren. Ich vermisse ihn... Diese Maschine hier ist sehr alt. DRP steht für Deutsches Reich Patent und geht tatsächlich auf das Kaiserreich zurück, das 1918 aufgelöst wurde. Wirklich erstaunlich, was die Leute damals bereits alles bauen konnten. Ebenso erstaunlich, was ihr daraus gemacht habt. Sehr schön, ich ziehe meinen Hut vor dieser Leistung. Erstklassige Arbeit Frohe Weihnachten wünsche ich.

I have used a scythe on tall grasses. When sharpened properly, it works great! Easy to use, you get into a certain back and forth rhythm.

[@Njazmo]

We also had a scythe at the summer cabin, more convenient than lawn mower when you have tall grass. Almost zero maintenance, works every time.

[@michaelsoule8070]

Those little stop-motion moments add a nice little touch of whimsy. Excellent restoration as always!

[@Quickened1]

I actually own a long and short scythe, but never really had to use one. However, when I was young, I did have to regularly use a sickle for several years, which is similar... Nice restore as always!

[@Joe1935429]

Another beautiful restoration! Thanks! Years ago (late '70's) I was a volunteer in US National parks, forests, and Designated Wilderness areas. On one occasion a small fire got started near a grassland area adjacent to a forest, both of which were within the boundaries of a designated Wilderness Area. We needed to cut enough of the tall grass to cut off the fire's path to the forest. Since no motor-driven devices (among many other things) are allowed in a Wilderness we had to cut the grass with large scythes to successfully cut off the fires path. It might have been kind of fun but for the urgency. The scythes? The Ranges kept such tools for just such situations. And razor-sharp!

[@georgebrown8312]

Now I see what the device is used for. It is a scythe sharpener, and it works. Good job restoring it.

[@patjohnson3100]

Another excellent and carefully done restoration. I would never have guessed this device was for sharpening scythes. I wondered if it was a hand tool for b ending metal tubing. Thank you

[@briangoldberg4439]

if i understand the comments below the video, it's not actually for sharpening the scythe, but for flattening the blade after it has become kinked and warped from use. i suppose that such scythes are probably quite thin metal and they easily become dented

[@michaelwellman2079]

This one had me guessing to the end. I used a Scythe at my Grand-Pa's farm in Lemoore CA, USA. It was a short one he said but to me, 8-10 years old, it looked like a sword attached to a shovel handle, lol now. But to get the dents, from hitting Rocks, out of the blade he used a small square faced heavy hammer and then a file to sharpen it. The funny thing is, when I was about 16, Dad told me that Grand Pa really did like us to come over because back then I could find Rocks he never could find when cutting the high grass. Fun Times!

[@ProtonOne11]

When i was a kid we had a tiny anvil (about 2 fingers wide) stuck in a large wooden log that you sit on. Then you use a large flat hammer and that anvil to reshape the blade before using the oval whetstone to sharpen it. If the damage was really bad, we had a handcranked large (around 2 feet or 60cm diameter) grindingstone wheel too that would get all kinds of farming tools sharp again. Good old times...

[@Aleksander_Grigorjev]

Тоже первый раз вижу. Хороший станочек.

[@ja60564]

В детстве был пару раз на сенокосах, там каждый свою косу сам точил, а отбивал их всегда один. Для этого определенный опыт наверно нужен. Они (косы) вообще прихотливые. Чуть что то не так, не косят совсем. А на этом станочке сможет наверно каждый. Я вообще раньше думал что их обстукивают что бы угол определенный держала, может кривятся часто. А оказывается это для уплотнения на рабочей кромке мягкого металла.

[@rolandvos]

I have seen professionals flatten their scythe with a hammer and a special small anvill. In duch we call this 'haren' (hair, meaning making as thin as a hair). This was over 50 years ago and the crafsmen were already nearly pensioned. They were very skillful. Nice video again, I never saw a semi automised machine like this.

[@MikeBaxterABC]

Sugar cane machetes were often sharpened with the hammer method as well

А да, встретил ваш комментарий на сайте реставратора, было приятно встретиться на просторах интернета! Всем добра!

[@samanthadean1083]

Fantastic job!!! Looks better than new!!! Fun fact: They also used scythes in Japan and China! In fact the kusarigama weapon was based off of a hand scythe!!!

[@dalsugowk7139]

And the name of that 'hand-scythe' is 'sickle'. in. English. Not so much fun than real sickle the multi tool of patch and field. There are heavy sickles enough to cut wrist-thick woods. Sickle had little advantage as decent weapon so never be a popular choice. The advantage of sickle weapon was concealed weapon - disguising local petit peasants. I mean really. That's a true fact of historical ninja not NINJA
