On Saturdays when I have time I watch "The Woodwright's Shop" on PBS. I sit and drool at the "treadle-powered anythings" he has and uses. In fact I drool at all his tools. Neat show.....I have picked up good info from it. hummertheoutlands said:treadle-powered anythings...
I got ahold of one last year and used it to cut down some buckwheat I had planted...... I can only hope there are younger bodies than mine around if I ever have to use it again. My neighbor is going to finish that "damned buckwheat" off in a couple of weeks with his tractor and disc! hummerhorse and hammer said:I bought a too expensive SCYTHE for havesting hay. I hope to never use it. Mary
