Scything Day Course

Project: Karuna

Posted by Janta Wheelhouse over 12 years ago

7th June 2012.Join us at Karuna on a day exploring how to use this fantastic tool- the Austrian Scythe

 

Led by : Andrea Gilpin Date : 9 June (Saturday) 2012
Time : 10 – 5 Fee : £50 including hot soup & bread and refreshments Booking Form  

The scythe has been used in parts of the world since Roman Times. It is still being used in many countries today and is having a revival in Britain.Join us on a day exploring how to use this fantastic tool.   The day will cover: how to set up the scythe, selecting the right blade for the job, altering the angle of the blade, how to sharpen the blade and, most importantly - how to mow with ease and flow!  Later in the day we will cover how to repair blades and have a go at 'Peening' the blade with the Peening jig.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
