Would you like to learn to Scythe? We are holding a one day workshop on the 10th July on site at Birches with the brilliant Scything master Steve Tomlin Crafts
The focus of the 'Learn to Mow' course is practical skills and learning-by-doing to send people away ready to continue on their own.
The course day runs from 10 – 4:30pm and will cover the following topics:
• Features and advantages of the Austrian scythe
• How to set up the scythe to your size & adjust the blade
• Ergonomic mowing style for more efficient cutting and less stress on the body
• Sharpening in the field
• Peening (hammering the blade to shape the edge as part of the sharpening process)
• Care & maintenance of the scythe
We have 2 spaces remaining - the days course is £115 pp and includes a lunch and refreshments.
