I think it’s amazing that you didn’t just replace the wooden handle. Your extra effort pays off, and it’s nice to know that the original wool hasn’t gone to waste and is still the old and amazing piece it once was!

I know it's really just a gardening tool, and there's nothing inherently occult or sinister about a scythe, but the goth kid I used to be can't help but smile at the sight of someone sharpening that giant iconic blade. So carefully done, too.

Excellent restoration 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing. After centuries of use the GRIM REAPER decides to have one of his scythes restored and he chose LADB Restoration for the job. 🤣🤣🤣

Another beautiful project completed. I so love this channel 👍And Avril's sanding skills are, without question, second to none 👏🐈❤

Hey, a new video from you ist really a highlight for me every time. I Love your choice of objects (not only knives and axes...). I watch (and like) a few restoration channels, but no one catches and preserves the soul of the objects quite as good as you do. That scythe turned out great as well. Keep up the truly fantastic work. Greetings from germany.

I am really surprised and impressed that you were able to save the wood handle of the scythe. Most people would have just bought or made a new one, since it is just wood. It takes some good woodworking skills to restore that handle. Also enjoyed what you did with the metal, fixing the broken part with weld and giving it a rustic look by using a wire brush rather than giving it a mirrored look by sanding it. Very nicely done.

I always loved my grandpa's scythe. He worked on a farm many years. I wanted to inherit and restore it to its once former glory. I just don't know what happendto it sadly. But if I find it imma get it restore it. This helps me alot as a guide to follow.

Great job! I have my dad's but it's been kept dry and out of the weather. Glad you could restore this old piece. Someone commented about the curve on the tip of the blade was supposed to be there. Mine doesn't have a curved tip and never did on either of the blades. I have the old warn out one and a newer one that's over half warn. Maybe they made them both ways so yours could have been damaged. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

The coolest thing about your projects is that you actually use them after your restoration. They were meant to be tools and you bring them back to life! Others would use them as decorative objects ...

I might sound obvious to say but thank you for saving the wood. So many restorations start by destroying the wood parts.

Very nice work. Always nice to remeber that not too long ago, farmers were mowing all the fields they had with one of these, before mechanized mowers became more common. I still used one as a kid on the farm, but only to mow small patches around the house and where the machines could not go.

Thank you for not including the welding bit. I love watching restoration videos but i have epilepsy so i have to be very careful with lights, it felt nice not to worry about that :)

In a hundred years or more, somebody may look at this and think about how much care somebody put into making this tool usable again. Of course that's probably true for all of the projects you do. I'm always impressed by your work and the artful projects.

Beautiful work, dude! 😃 It's really amazing how much of the wood you could save! And what a sweet cat Avril is! ❤ Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

10:03 wow! I bet that nail cost a fortune when this was new! Wonderful restoration, I really like the vintage look to the blade 👍

My dad has the Scythe And is missing parts. Now he can learn from your videos and have a hobby. Thank you so much.

Nice one I watched a demonstration once of a scythe versus a weed eater/line trimmer. The scythe was almost twice as fast, I was really surprised. More sweat though, we tend to like easier. I can’t imagine a big field though like they would have done once upon a time

Beautiful job! You have produced an extraordinary museum piece. I am old enough to have used one of those, although not the beautiful vintage piece you have.

Wonderful restoration and repairs to this timeless piece of history...been around for 7000 years and still being used today. Your wood work was inspiring leaving it's age to show through. Recently restored a 50yr old pair of small lops for a friend, similar issues with the wood but the steel was high quality. He appreciated saving the wood handles and all the work. Always enjoy your videos and hard work! Not too far from 1M subs, keep up the great work and stay safe! 👋👌🖖

I'd say peening a scythe is the most important part, I peen my scythes so that they are razor-sharp without any abrasives and all is needed just slight correcting the "sting" during scything with a few strokes of wet stone. I got about a dozen of scythes of different sizes (in Russia they came in sizes from "5" - "5.1/2" - "6" -... to "9" which is 90 centimetres long) the oldest made in 1920-1930s. Russian scythe is called "leetovka" and is lightweight, besides the blade itself there is a slim handle (from a little dead fir-tree) and oak wedge in metal ring. I made handles and wedges with a handplane and an axe only.

Amazing craftsmanship as always. Thanks for sharing your talents with the world.

Beautiful job. I just started using my grandfather’s scythe instead of a weed eater for many tasks and I love it. One of my scythes is an American railroad scythe which can cut many saplings.

The maestro of restorations has given us another great restoration, at last. They're all good, that's why I've subscribed to this channel 👏 🙌 👍 ❤

I love watching the wood work! My step father is in wood working and it always has fascinated me.

I didn't thought the wood part could be saved ! Good job :D

does anyone else just love the noises produced by these restoration videos?

Took a lot more work than I anticipated. Great job!

well done!, man, that's one tough handle, should be serviceable for many years!

Your cat helps you with sanding. My cats like to help with the dusting and sweeping. Nice work.

Came for the amazing restoration of the Scythe, Hitting like for the Cat. So cute.

Hello I have used a scythe like that many times, it's a common type in my country. You didn't have to make the second handle, because you just hold the tapered end. Also a scythe needs to be peened with a hammer, you shouldn't just grind it It's a tool that requires skill to use, when I was learning to mow my grandfather used to say said "a toothless cow would have done a better job than you"

Interesting info! I have also used a scythe many times in my youth but have never heard about peening. I guess it compresses the steel making it harder, like a cold hardening. Correct?

@khFokke1895

2 жыл бұрын

@@alti5657 Yes, correct, it's called work hardening. The steel of the scythe is very thin and not very hard. Peening makes the edge paper thin and you don't ever need to grind it, just use the sharpening stone. If you are British or American you might have used another kind of scythe, I've read that they call them "celtic" while our scythes are called "roman" or "austrian". The celtic scythe is thicker and heavier and made of laminated steel with a hardened edge, this kind of scythe can't be peened and has to be ground on a grinding wheel

It's very different, but I like it. Incidentally, I think you meant that the wood is 'sound'. 'Sane' means 'mentally healthy', and can only be used to describe people. It's a commonly mistaken false cognate.

I nearly cried watching this. Every aspect of your process is beautiful and well thought out. By far THE best restoration I've seen. From keeping as much of the original material as possible to your craftsmanship in every field this video is breathtaking.

My grandparents mowed the grass with such a tool many years ago, good job 👏

this is why scythes are so cool and the most versatile thing out their.

I couldn't imagine cutting my yard with one of those. I'm so appreciative of my ride on mower.

This guys videos are so calming

Good job as usual. This is how grass used to be done before mowers.

I love to see theses items that were sometimes use on a daily basis brought back to life !! Very nice work !!!👍👍

You even got death to be your costumer! I'm sure he will love his new scythe 😌💅✨

Fantastic result dude 👊👊👊. Old hand tools being given a new lease of life is always excellent. 😎

Simple but wonderfully enjoyable...and Avril is so damn cute! Best of luck getting to 1 million subscribers. You deserve it!

Just found one on my property and this video pops up, Can't wait to restore it!

Always a treat seeing tools from previous videos like the grindwheel reappear. Great work!

Outstanding job!!! You kept the integrity of it by restoring the old handle instead of replacing it 👍🏻👍🏻

Ever wonder where the term 'wet your whistle' came from. Quite often, the workers mowing grain or grass with their scythes, put a wood whistle to their scythes so that it whistled when they swung it. You could tell where each person was by the sound of their whistle. When the blade got dull, one would stop to use their whetstone (wet-stone) to "whet their whistle" and take a drink of whatever would be at hand. Whistles were also incorporated quite often into beer mugs. When your mug was empty, one just whistled for a refill or a wet.

My father had many of these. He carried a stone to sharpen the blade as he cut hay or cleared overgrown areas. I can still close my eyes and hear him dressing the blade and the whispering sound the scythe made with each stroke. I could never master it, he swung in a smooth motion from the hips, pulling the scythe through the material to be cut. I tried to chop or force the scythe which was wrong. Thank you for restoring this and my memories.

All these tradition woodworking techniques are a delight to watch. Great stuff.

Wow really neat job.Thats how they cut grass back in the day crazy

7:25 excellent job Avril 💯💯💯💯

You are a true craftsman Sir.. Beautiful work. And the absence of spoken commentary is golden.. Thank you.

хорошая реставрация, но лезвие косы нужно не только точить , но и отклепать, чтоб сделать тоньше. а ручка косы регулируется по высоте на каждого косаря - при поставленной вертикально косе, лезвием вниз, ручка устанавливается точно на уровне пупка.

Pleasure to watch. Also the green clovers in February :)

I always enjoy seeing you work with wood. I also really like seeing you use that whetstone.

Great restoration as always, Avril seems to appreciate it a lot! Anyway I still use the scythe to mow. On steep slopes is far better then heavy brushcutters.

The good thing about these restorations is that a lot of the original parts are still used.
