Have been messing with hand mowers since I was a bout 13, my Grandfather had a small after hours business of sharpening reel mowers and I spent many hours with him in his shed helping.
When he took ill he gave me his machine and I carried on his little business, unfortunately I became too busy in my own business to carry on but still have the machine which I hope to resurrect some time, My plan is to make it more of a portable display so I can take it to rallies and demonstrate it.
I have a few hand mowers, Pope, a few different Qualcast models, Ogden, an American made Stearns, none have been restored but will get around to it one day I hope, they are such a simple but efficient machine and have to be way out of adjustment before they fail to cut at all.
