Rainy day means maintenance!

Today, my scythe blade needs some attention so I'm peening and honing the blade.

The black jig I show is called a peening jig, which draws metal thin on the edge and makes it easier to get a razor sharp cutting edge.

This peening process distinguishes European scythes from North American scythes as North American scythes require grinding of the cutting edge instead of peening and honing.

Until next time, toodles! ⚒️

Howdy internet!

A couple of bars of 3/8" x 1" flat bar. A hole has been drilled in one end of each bar, and a tenon has been drawn on the other side. These will both get 90 degree bends in them, and the tenons will be upset to hold the pieces together, forming a frame.

More to come. Until next time, toodles! ⚒️

Gotta do something once? By hand is fine. Gotta do something 10 times? A jig is required!

Here is a scrolling jig I'll be using for the scroll samples for the level 2 project requirements.
