It’s great to hear that my Learn to Scythe book is helping people who can’t get to a course. The book covers all aspects of using am Austrian scythe including how to set up a scythe, honing, mowing, peening the blade and more. It’s no substitute for a Learn to Scythe workshop where I can assist with your technique directly but will give you a good grounding to start from.
Thanks to Susan for this excellent review:
I want to learn how to scythe before I risk buying the equipment and this book is an easy read. The techniques are well explained with illustrations and photos accompanying where applicable. There are some very useful photo closeups which back up the written description. The technical descriptions are well written which I have had no problem understanding. This book is obviously written by an expert scyther who also knows how to teach. I would love to go on one of his courses but in the meantime I’m going to give scything a go.
