How the Celts made a scythe | SWR Craftsmanship

For his projects, Frank Trommer, together with Pierre Stoll and Jonathan Schuster from his team, has to delve deep into the history of toolmaking among the Celts, who were great craftsmen. The first scythe appeared around 450 years before Christ. Back then, it was a smooth piece of metal bent in one plane, which continued to develop. A strengthened back, which gave the scythe stability, was added and finally, about 150 years before Christ, the scythe became what it still looks like today. An angled attachment called a hammer, which was also forged, made it possible to attach it to a handle or a scythe tree. This allowed people to scythe their grass or grain while standing. Frank and his two colleagues are fascinated by old forging techniques, just as the Celts might have forged them according to research. In their workshop, they have set up a blacksmith's workshop on the floor. Using bellows and a small forge made of clay, a long piece of steel is turned into a scythe. They need a lot of strength to work sitting down. After shaping the red-hot metal, the scythe is hardened, ground with grinding stones, sharpened and finally finished with a whetstone. It then glides razor-sharp through the grass. A special tool - made the Celtic way.
