How To Restore A Rusty Scythe Blade
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Plenty of videos about sharpening scythe blades and axes etc. But not many on cleaning and maintenance. Well, I'm here to put things right and help you out.
We take some really rusty and dirty blades and bring them up like new.
Blade cleaning involves rust removal, oxidation prevention, and the care of blade patina. This process includes using cleaning solutions and gentle wipe-down techniques to maintain your scythe blade. Blade maintenance also entails occasional polish, protective coatings, and comprehensive restoration to remove any signs of corrosion. After cleaning, proper drying anti-tarnish measures should be taken to maintain the blade's integrity.

Little thing you can do to avoid gumming up your blade as you mow is to ad a little bit of soap with the water of your wethstones. Mechanics soap is the best and i mean a tiny bit. Ussualy I add a finger tip in 5l of water

I shall continue to use the edging I have until it dissolves. Unlike some, who just throw it away, so it goes into landfill. Mentioning no names...

@@WildernessTamed 🤣 I haven’t actually managed to throw any away to landfill yet - I keep hanging on to it in the hope that one day I will find a suitable upcycling project. I may weave myself a plastic yurt.
Keep the banana in there!
