If he put a little crank in the elbow where the blade meets the tang, he could adjust the 'lay' of the blade, like on commercial scythe, so the cutting edge is parallel to the ground while the tang - and snathe - is pointing upwards to him Terrific build though, I'm not knocking his work 👌🏼 Just a suggestion to make it a little more ergonomic, excellent work though 👏🏼 And your tattoo is cool AF 😎
Love these videos!! Even inspired me to heavily consider taking up smithing as a hobby!! I look forward to these every month keep up the fantastic work
Great job! Inspired by the old Norwegian scythe video? Sadly it seems very few know of the Scandinavian/UK/American scythe type which does not use a peened blade, but as you showed, a hardened, ground blade. This is the type I use to maintain several acres (old American scythe) and much prefer it to the more famous "continental" type. One thing that helped me a lot was learning to grind the blade very thin, like a straight razor, or at least
Very nice. Do take care with this tool- I have cut myself very badly before, using this type of scythe. In my case, I was pulling it toward myself to cut a woody stem. Very dumb, but you might be tempted to do the same.
Вместо проволоки нужно было поставить широкое металлическое кольцо, и подбивать его деревянным клином. Тогда всё держалось бы прочно. Само лезвие нужно развернуть посильнее к земле, и сделать более длинную рукоятку. И было бы совсем хорошо :)
I believe your snath (handle) isn't long enough (and unless bent crazily should probably have additional handles sticking off it? Less sure about that, I think simpler longer straight handled versions existed but don't know what the trick to their use/ holding them was), as well as your scythe tang not having enough of a bend to make the blade parallel to the ground when you're standing up and holding the tool. Also, you're supposed to scythe by twisting your body (mostly hips and legs?) not really using the arms.
EGBrandan you’re right, if only the handle were a foot longer, and the blade bent slightly more, also curved upwards so it would cut more. Nevertheless it was a great video/ learning experience 😄 we all learn for the next time 🤘🏼
You sharpen a scythe using a peening anvil and a coarse and then fine pocket grind stone you dont harden it as it would cause the cutting edge to fracture, when using it you should be standing up straight and just twisting at the hips with very little effort. Its a nice display piece but you wouldnt want to scythe an acre with it
that was my thoughts exactly. the handle is all wrong also..wouldnt allow a very good swipe by a turning of your hips..using your core..thats why the handles are almost always bent. so all you have to do is stand and use your core to basicly twist your hips to cut.
Great work, I liked your last dagger build very much and you always prove how versatile your skills are by then making a simple garden scythe , Nice. :)
Everything is good as always! But I advise you to make the main handle long to your height and attach another handle in the middle for convenient holding
You'd try to dampen that anvil ;P (poor us with headphones :). Sweet setup & skills. All by own hands!! Great upload as per usual, timely for me - need a scythe for overgrowing grass :D Thanks!
The only problem I see is the handle not being long enough. And while not necessary, the 2 short extra handles really makes it easier and more ergonomic to use. The blade is fine imo. If its meant to be used just for a short time and only for some small chores then its probably not a problem though. Hyvää työtä kuitenkin, keep 'em coming.
Very interesting... I've not seen one made like that before. I'm sure there are reasons tho. Ususally the blades a MUCH thinner as they are ment to mow fields. Also the ones I have are a bush blade thsts about 2 feet long, and a grass blade.. It's about 4 feet long. Scythe blades are NEVER ment to be picked up off the ground. The width of the blade, and the angle it's attached to the snath (handle) determines the cut hight. Also the curvature of the blade should be determined by the hight of the person, and their reach. Most cuts are determined by hip rotation, and snath length. You always want something cutting, no dead spots. Neat project tho, and we'll made. Not something many would actually try to put to work tho.
My thought on this is : Use a Shoulder Sling! Its uses less energy ! Rather hold it up and slinging it! DO THE TWIST ! Baby. TWIST AND CUT > Twist side to side, Baby! MUCH EASIER work off some belly fat> When you hold it up, It put a strain on your back, shoulder. neck, and arms. TWIST and SHOUT > idk how to make it any more fun to do! and work off belly fat. I'am going to make one
За куваня C- тому що загартовував водою а це може спричинити тріскання металу, краще загартовувати маслом автомобільним воно рівномірно охолоджує. А за саму косу D, де ручка .?
It did on the first one that I forgot to normalize. Stretching a piece of steel is usually pretty safe as long as you do some normalization cycles before grinding and before heat treat.

Very nice. I love the style of your videos; no obnoxious music, and no talking or excessive editing.
I kind of like a little talking

I think you should make the handle a little longer. There's no point in a scythe if you have to bend down to use it
If he put a little crank in the elbow where the blade meets the tang, he could adjust the 'lay' of the blade, like on commercial scythe, so the cutting edge is parallel to the ground while the tang - and snathe - is pointing upwards to him

Truly inspiring! Real blacksmithing. All by hand with real tools!
I will be 12:41 minutes later at my work but I know it will be worth it.
thx for the timestamp dude, it was never faster for me to watch about 12mins content in just a click.

You're really the best blacksmith on youtube and a like the vibe from your videos
Love these vids cant wait for the new work shop and can you give us a tour of everything over once you move in
Es ordinario amar lo hermoso y es hermoso amar lo ordinario ❤ me gustó el vídeo 😊
Now this is true craftsmanship
I love your videos, the sound of the tools makes me feel better, and the final product is awesome. Thanks for sharing
Ye boi make n create is my JAM
Hell yeah!
Keep em up my dude, scythe came out awesome
as someone who mows grass for a living I'm very thankful for modern technology. This is pretty cool though.

He based this on a Nordic scythe from Norway. American, English, Nordic style scythes are hardened not tensioned.
Great video man keep up the work
Thank you!
Awesome video!

Always enjoy your videos. Nice craftsmanship! Keep it up.
Thank you for showing me how to make a scythe now i can protect myself or using it to cut grass
You don't need a knife or scythe to protect yourself against guns, politics & viruses.
Very good job bro 👍👍👍👍
Wuua it is a wonder job what a talen you have,congratulations!
Always great to watch the forging of a blade! Great job! Maybe forge a really simple clasp or keeper of some design to replace the wire!
Nice project and cute cat.
Well done, great forging!
Great job like always

Very nice scythe keep up the good work
Very cool and useful. Great job man!.
Your cat is great !
Now make a big elaborate Scythe, the kind with the handle on the side of it.
Thanks. Very nice job 👍
for a moment I thought you were planning to test the scythe on the cat. Phew!
Very good master!.
Made me real nervous with that draw knife 🙄 nice work 👍🏼
Very good job. Death would be proud. You should try to get on forged in fire. That would be super epic
Oye reconozco tus vídeos no solo por el nombre sino por el tatuaje de tu mano y porque siempre sacas tú lijadora jajajaj
Your videos are amazing man! Keep it up!
(maybe forge a dane/housecarl axe?)
Awesome vid
Nice work...👍
wow you hammer fast!
You need to add a handle in the middle of thw stick, for better grip and you need a roun piece if metal to secure the scythe to the handle.
What kind of rock are you using on your furnace? Is that lava rock?

Great video, should attempt a billhook
Nice cat 🐱 ❤️
I feel nervous when I thought you will gonna kill that cat in 11:06 HAHAHAH
How did you make your forge it's very good or did you just buy it??
Every ten year old kid dreamed of
Good good, now all you need now is a grim reaper costume and then go to some old man's backyard.
I am attempting to create a scythe but out of a piece of rebar, I bender the edge a bit but not enough so it will be a bit short
Are you going to get a new forge when you move into your shop?
that grass seems to show some resistance... time to forge something big?
you and torbjorn should forge together!
totally thought you were about to chop that cat in half that would of been sweet.
need some help starting to smith any ideas or hints to help me out? Also love your videos.
Any thing that perks your interest
Сама коса замечательная, на рукоять лучше использовать молодую ель прямую. К рукояти сделай ручку поперёк и косить будет раз в 100 легче и приятней.

I was wondering that the whole vid 🤣
What type of music do you listen to?
Does this weapon will keel ?
Where do you get your steel
Using that scythe would be a pain it s small doesn t have suports on the handle IT S SMALL but could be a usless but cool weapon!
If I'm not mistaken he used the Northmen traditional Norse scythe forging video as a reference. As far as I can tell, he built to spec.
@@someAholeComment but his scythe doesn t have the hand suports on it s handle and blade is kinda small.

Fun fact the snath or handle is the most expensive part of a scythe
how much does such scythe ?

Thank you!
Muy buen laburo pero le falta curvatura y posicionar.con respecto al cabo
With a piece that stretched how do you not have stress fractures
It did on the first one that I forgot to normalize. Stretching a piece of steel is usually pretty safe as long as you do some normalization cycles before grinding and before heat treat.
people who living in my village uses 3x longer of this
My dude is that a tattoo of a ruler!?
Nice work but lets be honest it isnt scythe it is just big sickle.
