Updated Scything Technique - Feedback Wanted! | Slåttergubben

I need your help! As you all know, I'm very passionate about scything and the benefits that come with it and I would like to make it as easy as possible for as many as possible to learn how to do it. Over the years I'm also improving myself and noticing details that can be helpful to explain to beginners and to other scythe mowers who want to hone their skills.

This video is basically a rough draft for a series of updated tutorial videos on scything technique and as we will be producing those videos soon, I would love for you to give me your feedback so that we can make the upcoming videos as good as possible for anyone who wants to try.

Please let me know if anything is unclear, if you have any follow up questions on anything I mentioned, or if you think I'm leaving something out. I would appreciate it very much!

Note that the focus is scythe mowing technique, so honing, peening and other aspects of scything is not a part of this video. But please keep an eye out for those topics in the future :)

Thank you for your help and support!
