What was this machine for? - Restoration

In today’s video, we showed the renovation of the Dengelfix scythe, which is more than 100 years old. This device is screwed to the table, the scythe is guided through the device and the blade is flattened by turning the crank. This lever regulates the width of the blade, narrow and wide, it should be 3 - 6 mm. Finally, lightly drag the scythe with a whetstone. The use of the scythe has been documented in Europe since the early Iron Age, especially the so-called short scythe mounted on the mower at an obtuse angle. Since the Middle Ages, long scythes, similar to today’s, have been replaced. And nowadays scythes are used very little. They have been replaced by mechanical equipment such as agricultural and domestic lawn mowers. If you liked our video, leave subscription, like, share.
