This video is a snapshot of the scythe blade production at the Falci factory in Dronero, Italy. My intent is to raise awareness and appreciation of what goes into forging a scythe blade. While the basic process is very similar in most scythe factories, some particular steps vary, which will have a slight to noticeable impact on the final product. In the past, when scythe users depended on the s...

Scythes at the Tea Plantation in Assam, 2023

Просмотров 264Год назад

Jyotsna Tea Company in Dibrugarh, Assam, has been known to successfully cater to the demands of its customer base since 2010. To keep the weeds down around the tea plants, they introduced scythes at the Jyotsna Tea plantation instead of traditionally used sickles or machetes. Scythes are easier on the user's body, and the work is done faster. Here you can see three team workers using the scythe...

The Tibetan refugees, who crossed the Himalayas to Nepal after the Dalai Lama’s escape to India in 1959, were nomadic people.

Church and the Waldensian Cultural Centre is located in Torre Pellice - the heart of the Waldensian Valleys. Waldensian history goes back to the 12th century, followed by centuries of unwavering resilience in the face of violent persecution. The more I learned about this community during my short stay, the more respect I have for them and their forefathers.

In this video Swapnil demonstrates that with a proper technique, the Vikalp Scythe can be as easily operated by women as by men. She invites all women taking part in wheat and paddy harvesting to pick up a scythe and become users or trainers themselves! At many scythe demonstrations in India, I’ve observed that it is the men who are first to step up to try the scythe for themselves. However, sc...

We seldom think about all the people whose participation was required before we could hold the final product in our hands. Each task, however seemingly menial is necessary, and each may require a different skill, dexterity, focus and patience - all taking part in ...

Yet another video directly comparing the use of sickles and scythe for cutting berseem clover. On most of India's dairy farms, labourers use sickles to cut the daily fodder for feeding the cows. This is a very slow and labour intensive task. Using a scythe for this application is a simple alternative which is up to ten times faster. The labourers hired for this job are not paid by the hour, but...
