Ouch indeed, I don't carry mine around without the blade guard on (which is only a small piece of plastic, I intend to get/make a canvas cover for it). I am aware it doesn't make me imune, but I try and cut out the risks where I can, so the blade cover is on unless I am about to use it.Stonehead wrote: The scythe, which is sharp enough to split a hair, had slit the end of my thumb to the bone
As for topping perhaps I should stop trying to improve my technique now
cos all I managed today in the few mins I had spare to play was a 30 ft strip, neatly trimmed to about 4 inches and all the grass in a neat line at the side! more seriously though I am please at how fast it is comming together. guess I must be really sad but it is quite a theraputic activity, and good for me as the results of my labour are obvious to see, and I do like to be able to see what I've done.
