Peening is an essential element of maintaining your Austrian scythe. Hammering the blade creates a finer edge so the blade cuts sweetly as you mow your meadow. This can be a daunting process for a scythe beginner so each year I lead a Scythe peening course for those looking to learn the skills.
This year the Peening Workshop will be on 19th Oct 2025 at Bell Sykes, Slaidburn in Lancashire. During the day you’ll learn how to peen your scythe blade with a peening jig under my guidance and we’ll look in depth at sharpening the scythe. There’ll also be chance to mow and get some advice on your mowing technique.
Places cost £100 and are limited so please book early to avoid missing out. Email me to reserve your spot and for payment details stevetomlin8@gmail.com
