Tool maintenance at Culture Fusion

A good start to the year, getting tools in shape and organised ready for the year ahead. 

Having a day in the workshop gives us the chance to sharpen sickles, billhooks and shears more thoroughly using files. We made a new wedge for one of the scythes so that the blade sits in the correct position (more of a job than it sounds). Chris also had a go with a gadget to reset the teeth on some of the old panel saws. It was effective, but my guess is they still won’t be our go to saws for field work. 

We made a start on the inventory of tools, but the freezing conditions made this task a bit uncomfortable and it will need to be continued at a later date. We all admired the new trailer!
