F’cryin’ out loud, doesn’t anybody notice all the SAFETY VIOLATIONS?! No shoes (never mind steel toes)! No safety glasses! No gloves! No leather apron! No wide-brimmed hard hat! No sunscreen! No lawyer on speed dial…
A click-to-enlarge image can be found at the only work, by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog (yesterday).Niittomiehet is privately owned. There are several English versions of that Finnish title.This has it as The Hay Cutters, along with a description (search for Cutters), extensive artist bio, and portfolio, many with descriptions.The museum, that was formerly the artist’s home and studio, has it as Reapers (different coloration image).Many online websites list it as Mower Men (its Google translation, or a different online translator’s variation). The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated Finnish Wikipedia page has more) and collection (more under Subcategories).First work, by this artist, to appear here.
Where can you get one of those conical sharpening stones with the hand guard? I have a scythe, but no sharpener, and it is getting as dull as this comment.

There’s always one slacker in the crown who thinks he can stand there all day sharpening the blade while everyone else reaps.

Looks like he took off the hem of his pants with that thing. No wonder it needs sharpening.
