It's been years since I wrote the original version, and now "
A Primer on the Selection, Use, and Maintenance of the American Scythe" has finally received a much-needed update. While the changes are minor, more are planned, and most principally the text has been edited to better reflect my current thoughts on best practices, and have added some better specifics and details, as well as a diagram the proper ergonomic hold on the nibs in use. I hope to soon have updated versions of some of the diagrams, as well, and once the document is polished to my liking I intend on beginning work separate documents detailing advanced technical tuning and antique restoration.
