Own Channels and Media
Slåttergubben
This is our international channel with English commentary, focusing on scything and meadow management.
Slåttergubben Sweden
Here you will find our films in Swedish! Focusing on bird feed, meadow management, and our products.
Educational Videos
We want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to learn how to scythe. Therefore, we have created a series of instructional videos that you can follow step by step.
It is, of course, beneficial to attend a physical course as well, to receive feedback and hands-on assistance, but we recommend watching the videos even before the course.

Scythe Network
In the Facebook group Lienätverket, we have many knowledgeable and engaged members! Here, we discuss various questions about scythes and mowing, sharing training sessions and offers. It is open for everyone to join the group and, of course, it is completely free. If you're looking for experienced mowers in your area, this is a great place to conduct a search.
In the USA, there is a similar network with plenty of reading material available on their website. www.scytheconnection.com
In England, the use of scythes has seen a significant resurgence in recent years, and there is also a network with a website there. http://scytheassociation.org/
More Knowledge
My good friend Rune Stenholm published the Scythe Handbook in March 2015. It’s an interesting read for anyone wanting to learn more about scythes! Download the Scythe Handbook by Rune Stenholm (pdf)
If you want to see people using scythes, you can certainly find that on YouTube. Feel free to visit Slåttergubben's own channels (above) or search in English for scythe or peening (hammering). In German, the corresponding words are sense and dengeln, respectively.
