Many exciting things are happening as of late. Snowcones have cooled our bones, joy has softened our tones, but I still have to repay my student loans Too bad I can't cut those with a scythe.

I have a video on field sharpening the scythe https://permies.com/t/189054/scythes/Sharpening-scythe-safely#1547306post in scythe forum
The most important thing in cutting with a  scythe is the power comes from the left hand and the control comes from the right.
If you try to power with the right arm you lose control and are not using the power muscle to pull the blade through the grass. The pectoral muscle is a pushing muscle and that doesn't work.
