Scythe Setup - Perfect for beginners

[@Imustscream]

While I don’t see myself scything, I find this sort of thing fascinating. Thanks for the great video.

Thanks Mike :)

thanks for this! my lawn mower's a bit old and needs replacing at some point (though i'll probably not get a scythe, the idea does interest me)

[@iboughtafield]

Thanks for watching. Good luck finding a new mower :)

​@@iboughtafield oh, and a question - do you have to do anything in this process differently if you're left-handed?

[@iboughtafield]

@@obonyxiam thank you for the question. Most left handers will just use the same style of scythe.
There are blades that you can get which face in the opposite direction, however they are not very common.
I am right handed, but from what I have read then left handed people don't find it more difficult to use the more common right-handed blade. I suspect it is just what you get used to- a bit like some right handed people using a spade in the left handed manner (with the left hand at the top or at least my mother does :D).
I would recommend left handed people going for a usual right handed blade, because they are easier to find and it is probably easier learning to mow in the more common direction and having a wider variety of blades to choose from (particularly if they ever try mowing in rows with someone else).

@@iboughtafield cool, thank you so much!

This is the first time since moving into an apartment that I've wished I had a lawn to mow again.

[@iboughtafield]

Thank you :)

Scythe isn't a practical weapon, sure. But you could hide some hand daggers on those handles. For Dungeons and Dragons purposes, that is.

Ouch! :D
I want to play a new campaign now :D
