Thanks Paul! I remember visiting my grandfather on his 90 birthday
and saw him cutting the grass with one of those. It was a pretty large
area and I don't think it wore him out at all.

I was not aware of the peening but I do have a nice scythe... may need to make a small peening anvil.

Thanks, Paul.

BRAVO!

Very nicely done Paul! [cool]
These here is God's finest scupturings! And there ain't no laws for the brave ones! And there ain't no asylums for the crazy ones! And there ain't no churches, except for this right here!

I have a short (3') piece of railroad rail I used as an anvil.  I don't do any farrier work now so I use it to shape iron art for my wife.

Check a scrap metal yard they may have a piece laying around.  By the way that 3' piece weighs in at 120 lbs.
