The tiles on the floor are 32cm square.
The snath is aluminum and is reinforced with wood at the base.

I am taking one line of the halting angle to be from the base of the snath to the center of the right hand.
The photographs were taken directly above the right hand nib.
The right hand nib is 82cm of the floor. The blade is resting on the tiles.
I have sort of guessed the angle for the broken scythe but I think it is close enough to what it was.
The broken scythe was real handy. It was light and a wide hafting angle and could cover a lot of ground quickly. I think if I had put a grass nail on, it wouldn't have broken although the rushes I broke it on are solid and heavy.
I notice from the photograph of the scythe that I normally use that the plastic handles opens up the hafting angle. I wrongly though that I was covering more ground because of the bigger arc only.
The young fellow in the picture has already appeared on the internet at youtube. His previous occasion is a lot more noisier and less reserved.
