Great vid, Griff. I lust for such a nifty tool out here in my neck of the woods.

Some day I'm going to have the neighbors video me with my scythe*, as I whack down the ever-advancing brush along my gravel road, so ya'll can see how much fun us country folk really have.




* Couple years back, I saw a Craigslist ad announcing a cleaning out of an old farmhouse/barn - apparently grammy and grampy had finally passed on and the kids weren't interested in cleaning out 60 years of OLD stuff. All free - first come first served. Man did I score. Came home with several old scythes, trowels and shovels, antique shoe-making tools and lasts, metal buckets and standing sinks/tubs, several handmade tool boxes filled with square-head nails, hasps, and etc., six or eight bitchen antique oil cans, a motorized wring washer from the '20s, a treadle sewing machine, and so much more. Awesome!
