The Basic Movements of Scything | Beginner's Guide: Step 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 08. 2024
- The first step when learning how to scythe is learning how to move your body. At least it should be! Getting it right from the start will help reduce the risk of injuries and make your scything more efficient and fun. This video is a step-by-step guide where we add one movement at a time until we find a good rythm and feel that we are in control. Lots to think about, but once you get it, it's like riding a bike. And just as much fun!

#scything #gardening #tutorial
As a 76 year old double leg amputee (below knee), I try and stay in shape. I have a food forest where only a scythe and/or sickle is permitted for the “chop and drop” we do. Scything keeps me in shape, I don’t have to use fossil fuels and it helps me re adjust me sense of time as does, of course, nature.
Wow! Like that you still going strong scything!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Finding in-person scythe instruction is non-existent where I live and these tutorials are the best I’ve seen online. Your mission seems to be to share the beauty, eloquence and use of this wonderful instrument and is much appreciated!
Thankyou! Yes that's for sure my mission. My love and passion for this tool is in for a lifelong relationship!
You must be the king of the discotheque with such moves!
But to be serious: all your videos are very insightful as well as relaxing.
Many thanks for the beautiful cinematography as well!
I’m new to scything and so glad I found your channel. Most of the stuff online shows how to mow in a way that just doesn’t feel quite right to me. As an young-ish athletic man, I connect much more with the way you incorporate Tai chi, martial arts, and fluid motion into the process. I’ll be watching many of your videos and will start practicing with these techniques right away. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Glad to hear! You are right, there is a lot of beginners doing videos as well. And you can trust that good mowers over the world use the same basic principles in a range of variations. Except for most of the Basks, who are also good mowers, but have a style where the go really folded with bent backs. They are super flexible and strong in their backs.
But one of the things with the scythe as we know it is that you can go more upright compared to the sickle!

Herzlichen Dank für die Texte, die jetzt hinzugefügt wurden. Das macht das Verständnis noch einmal um ein vielfaches besser.🙏🏻
Thank you. This helped me with getting a more uniform cut. It feels much better too. I was too stiff and mostly using my arms and shoulders. After doing a warm up using this video, I vent out and scythed yard. After I was finished, my arms felt fine and not even slightly fatigued. Transfering the load to my core and legs made it really enjoyable. Everything became better, my swath became much more even from side to side and I was able to widen my swath because of the grounded feel I had.
I really appreciate your advice. You have a world class teaching style. 👍😄
Superglad to hear that! Great! Today we will release the next part in the tutorial of mowing! As I am not a native English speaker - (I do not know if you are) but you use the word swath where I use stroke. I would like to hear your reflexion on that!
@@slattergubben6702 Your English is impeccable. I am in the US, state of Oregon. The word swath has a connotation of a sweeping path, which describes the arc of the blade well. In looking up the word, it has been associated with the scythe since its introduction here. A secondary definition applies to any blade that cuts a path, maybe an industrial combine, or wheat harvester is an example when describing it's width of cut.
Thanks! So what is your recommendation? Stick to the word stroke or switch to swath?
@@slattergubben6702 Because your language usage is so precise, you can use either term and convey the meaning just fine.
Hallo Ihr Lieben, ich verstehe zwar leider nur wenig von dem gesprochenen, doch es ist so gut gezeigt und erklärt sich dadurch selbst.
Ich bin schon über 60 und habe mit sieben angefangen mit der Sense zu mähen. Doch erst jetzt lerne ich wirklich mit der Sense zu mähen.
Es ist so schön zu sehen, mit wie viel Begeisterung, mit wie viel Liebe zum Detail, mit welcher Erfahrung und mit welch großer Kompetenz, und mit wie viel Freude am lehren hier so wunderbare Menschen tätig sind und uns Zuschauern solche Geschenke machten.
Auch die ganze Naturschutz Arbeit, die ihr dort leistet ist großartig! Meinen ganzen Respekt und meine Hochachtung. Ganz herzlichen Dank!
Bei den englischen Videos bekomme ich noch mehr mit, als bei den muttersprachlichen. Darum meine Anregung, die vielen tollen Videos, die es schon gibt, in irgendeiner Form mit Englisch zu versehen oder vielleicht noch mal die Mühe machen, es neu aufzunehmen. nur so ein Gedanke von mir.
Eine wirklich großartige Arbeit, die ihr hier leistet.
Es gibt nach meiner Kenntnis nichts vergleichbares im Internet. Danke🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are working on more videos in English, including detailed tutorials on the different aspects of scything. We just added German autotranslated subtitles to this video as well, perhaps those will make it even clearer. (Change the language settings on the video.)
Via Google translate: Vielen Dank für Ihre freundlichen Worte! Wir arbeiten an weiteren Videos auf Englisch, darunter detaillierte Tutorials zu den verschiedenen Aspekten des Sensens. Wir haben diesem Video gerade auch automatisch übersetzte deutsche Untertitel hinzugefügt, vielleicht machen diese es noch klarer. (Ändern Sie einfach die Spracheinstellungen im Video.)
Herzlichen Dank 🙏
Your work has enhanced my appreciation of Anna Karenina. Thank you very much.
I'm glad! :D
I have been Scything for 3 years, I watched this video and applied it, then immediately saw an improvement. its so subtle but really needed that tutoring. Many thanks.
@@adamdawson9846 thanks! Glad it helped you!
So glad we found your channel as we want to learn to scythe our meadows in the north of Italy!
@@storiesfromthecascina glad to hear! Hope it brings you to deeper knowledge and playfulness. Visit also www.slattergubben.se to see some nice products!
I am enjoying these new beginner videos with so much helpful detail! Thank you so much for all the time you spend in making, editing and uploading these videos along with answering our questions. :)
Thanks! Glad they help!
First, your videos are very helpful and your instructional style is supurb. The work you do is important.
I am not an attorney but if you haven't done so already, please patent your Nordic design. You obviously put much time, effort, and thought into improving this wonderful tool AND made it beautiful. Thank you for all you do. There are no courses available where I live so your videos are invaluable.
Thanks! Glad they help you!
Excellent. I never realised there was so much to scything. My father used a scythe all his life but he never had exercises!
Thank you! Scything comes easy to some, but trying to explain it to someone else is another thing entirely! That's where these exercises come in handy :)
@@slattergubben6702 Your exercises are extremely handy. My father would have learned it as a young boy from his own father in the 1930s. I’m sure he would have found it challenging too.
I'm glad to hear it! Yes, we are all beginners at some point.
Thank you so much for these instructional videos. There is no such thing where I am from. I have just become interested in scything and look forward to getting started. This information is so helpful !
Your welcome! Right handed the scythe is a precious tool to be greatly loved!
Realy nice lesson! There are many work in it. Thanks for that!
I think the chick behind you at the end, is try to use it...😅
Good thing I thought about wearing training clothes! 😅 I truly struggle with coordination but the adding of the "catch and throw" move in the arms helped me to not do the "ass to grass" in both directions (or neither) and it helped a lot to add the breath, both for rythm, grounding and that it's easy to just ... stop breathing when you do something complicated. 😅 I will try this again tomorrow and using the breath from the start, for now I'm going to take a shower and feel accomplished. 😁
@@dragonslayer_eyre2315 great! Glad to help you!
Vsry helpfully!...as a 0 experience I think this is a very good video!
Thanks
Excellent video, thanks!
Thank you so much for doing such in depth videos. I'll hopefully have a scythe by the end of the month to get rid of the strimmer and mower.
Thanks! Please have a look in our webshop, www.slattergubben.se
Thanks a lot!
Very, very helpful.
good stuff!
Thank you!
Top notch thank you .
Thank you! The second part is out already and the third will be posted tomorrow. Hope you will enjoy them too :)
The way my father taught me, was to keep the back straight, twist from the waist, not using the hands too much (by his teachings, you'd fail for "moving the hands too much"); Also, a test he'd use, was to whistle while scything. You should be able to sing without interruptions - if not, you're exerting yourself too much.
Any video on sharpening the blade?
@@rosemaryelliott5318 yes, one about honing and a couple about peening. Just visit my channel and you will find
Hallo, ich muss diesen Weg nutzen, da ich mit dem Shop überhaupt nicht klarkomme. Wo und wie kann ich mit dir kommunizieren? Ich habe Interesse an einem Sensenbaum von dir. Wie geht es mit Versandkosten und so weiter? Ich bin 1,80 m groß, welche Größe muss ich wählen? Ich hoffe es ist in Ordnung, dass ich das hier schreibe. Vielen Dank.
Bitte contact am info@slattergubben.se, versandkosten ist ca 20eur zu meisten European landen. Schreiben deine adresse, kontaktinfo und was du will kaufen.
@@slattergubben6702 Herzlichen Dank.
Eventuellt missat det, men har du, eller skulle du vilja göra en lite mer detaljerad guide över knackningen av lien?
Det finns film om både knackning med jigg och knackning på fri hand med penen mot platt städ. Men även de filmerna kommer i uppdaterad form så småningom.
Random comment, but what's with the crazy circle cloud at the beginning of the video?!
lens flare :-)
Driving the ladies mad with the hip flick?
