Jack Brubaker from IN would be the one to contact
Last year he demonstrated scythe blades at the Indiana conference
I did not tape him but possibly IBA did or try contacting Jack direct



I have a couple old scythes and some extra blades.  Not very good at it
but 
it can be fun, and beats the heck out of using a weed whacker.

I've seen ads for the scythe stakes and hammers but never could figure
out 
the process from the ads. They never had very good pictures.  I usually
end 
up just putting a 600 grit belt on the sander and using that to sharpen
my 
blades.  After hammering the edge was he done, or did he still have to
work 
it over with a stone?
