Just bought a modern piece of sh1t, medal staff and folding sythe, blade made in Sweden? At 79, I remember my uncle, who worked for Northumberland, rural council, he cut the grass verges all day 6 days a week, using a sythe, his was as sharp as a razor, and he strapped it to the crossbar of his old black bike. He was happy every day, rain hail or shine.
guy moved away & gave me his & I've mowed 2+ acres with it this summer, 1/2 hour or so, every morning just light enough to see. Best exercise ever!
this was honestly the most fascinating video I've ever watched on UA-cam.
It's up there.
The water mechanism is fascinating and well environment before hydraulic becomes major tool for forging blades
Beautiful footage, setting and craftsmanship.
However the directing was badly lacking: huge gaps between stages in the manufacturing where the viewer was left to guess, and guess wildly as to what had happened and how the last stage of the process had developed into the current object, which isn't even clear either.
Anyway, beautiful crafting and wonderful, wonderful low tech facilities which quite likely will again be needed VERY soon.
Hopefully all these scythemakers are enjoying their heavenly reward after their decades of selfless service at this once crucial craft.
What metal did they add to the crucible right before pouring?
Hell yes. This is a gem
If your watching this in 2090 then i have been a long time dead :)
Excellent
@@wolfblitzer1981 rude!
How many times do you think the hammer was set down to form that indentation? Fascinating video. Thanks.
Makes you think , your loaf was and is produced on the bent back of a hard working hand . Good video 👍🇬🇧
meanwhile the "royalty" lives a life of luxury.
Just mowed a couple acres with mine.
I want one of those scythes, i just recently started fitting a few with snaths and handles and those look fun to use
they are!
Scythes are great. But a scythe blade made with rivets? Pass!
passionating
i was watching nfkrz video, how am i here?
Lovely programme love the old Crafts
The lack of eye protection kinda creeped me out
Eye protection??? What for??? Against what???
This is so bogus. The opening scene is an aluminum cast, not steel (you can tell from the color and the low radiant heat. Iron/ steel would be white hot). This was never a historical technique, and this video is essentially a bait and switch for the gullible.
You're probably right, they built the water wheel, got enough water to make it run, made all the machines and old timbers to look authentically historic, and added a bit of some chap's life story just to lead us on
You lot need some happy pills! This is filmed at the abydale industrial hamlet, I agree that they are pouring aluminium, that's because the people who knew how to pour the steel are probably dead. That guy is obviously retired and the probably last one to have worked there, the video is just giving you a brief insight it to what is was like. No ones trying to lead you on.
@@ryanwarren4832 Good points.
I agree with the OP though in pointing out fact and Truth, however your speculations for such seem right, and in the context I would nearly fully agree that they are justified.
@@ryanwarren4832 you don't cast steel in a mold to work it. This is just 100% bogus and weird. I'm still watching in case there is something legit
Nope. 100% garbage.🤦♂️🤣
