A pruning saw is an excellent tool for cutting branches with a diameter of about 50 mm or more. If the branch is thinner, it often moves quite a bit and is difficult to cut. One-handed garden shears, meanwhile, only cut branches up to 25 mm in diameter. The two-handed pruner exactly fills the gap, allowing clean cutting of branches with diameters of 25 - 50 mm. Also, the normally long handles of twohanded pruners make many branches easier to reach.

When a branch is cut off a tree, this creates a relatively big wound on the trunk. The tree tries to close this wound with special wound tissue. The larger the wound, the rougher the cut surface and the younger the tree, the longer this overgrowth process takes. In the case of very large wounds, it can take years. During this time, the part of the cut surface that is not yet overgrown is not protected against fungi and pests that destroy wood. Fruit trees are particularly vulnerable. ® • Saw blade hard chrome plated and thus rustproof Taper-ground blade with no additionally set teeth: • Allows cutting with little friction • Creates the cleanest cuts - lets water run off quickly, preventing rotting Special raker teeth: • Reduce the cutting force on the other teeth, thus increasing the edge life • Prevent clogging 1. Use the right saw. The larger the set (alternate bending of the teeth to the right and left) of a saw, the larger the ridges and scratches on the cut surface. This results in a greater exposed surface and water can accumulate between the ridges, which may later cause rotting. consequently, saws with very slightly set or unset teeth are ideal for pruning fruit trees (see pictogram fruit tree pruning). A video showing the use of the Silky Gomtaro´s special teeth is available online. www.dictum.com 2. The branch should be cut at the collar. „cutting at the branch collar“ means that you should not cut the branch flush with the trunk but leave the branch collar intact, as the tissue there is particularly active. However, you should never leave a stub on the trunk, as this hinders or even prevents wound overgrowth.

Otherwise, in the worst case, the weight of the branch may cause the bark on the trunk to tear during sawing. You can avoid this with a simple cutting technique: 1. Make a cut with the saw on the underside of the branch about 30 cm away from the trunk. (Do not cut too deep, as otherwise the saw may get stuck in the kerf because of the weight of the branch.) 2. Make a cut with the saw on the top of the branch, same distance from the trunk. (Its own weight should cause the branch to break off in a controlled manner.) 3. Now you can make the final cut at the trunk without pressure from the branch.

An increasing number of hobby gardeners are enjoying that smell of freshly cut grass. Handling a scythe is a skill that requires some practice. The course starts out with whetting the blade using the whetting anvil, sharpening it with a whetstone, adjusting the snath, and it ends with mowing practices. You may bring your own scythe. It is also possible to purchase high-quality scythes and blades during the course. DVD: ScYTHING TEcHNIqUES In this introduction, scythe-master Ernst Schoiswohl and canadian organic farmer Peter Vido, teach knowledge which has virtually been forgotten.

Nevertheless, the cutting edge is subject to heavier wear owing to the hard grasses and should therefore be worked on with an abrasive whetstone (No. 711304, No. 711305, No. 711311). Soft clippings - thin edge - hard grindstone For soft cuttings, you need an extremely sharp edge. A thin edge is easier to sharpen, providing the greatest possible degree of sharpness. A hard grindstone straightens up the edge, which is often only slightly bent from working in soft grasses (principle of a sharpening steel). Since the edge itself is not subject to heavy wear, it only needs to be sharpened to a limited extent during honing (No. 705582, No. 711312). 10° 5° G F WHETSTONE HOLDER, cOWHORN This traditional-style whetstone holder is made of natural, polished Austrian cowhorn.

The perfect device for keeping your whetstone wet and handy H PEENING ANVIL, WITH STOPPER Peening made easy: Peening makes the cutting edge of scythe and sickle blades thinner, harder and easier to sharpen. But peening is quite a challenge. A well balanced blow with the hammer, an even feed motion and a precise positioning of the blade on the anvil are required. All demand a lot of practise. This peening anvil solves this problem. The blade is placed on an adjustable support plate. A depth stop makes sure that the blade is exactly positioned on the curved anvil. I PEENING ANVIL Die-forged steel anvil with a polished face for peening scythes and a horn for fastening on wooden blocks.

This rapid development also affected splitting wedges. The oldest models, usually made of wood, have been replaced by low-wear splitting wedges made of steel. Now engineering has taken another step: Safety splitting wedges are made from extremely impact-resistant, forged aluminium. They do not splinter and are no risk for chain saws. At the same time they are very light and protected against corrosion. A 1 1 Twisted Splitting Wedge with Tip Because of its twisted shape, the wedge angle enlarges while the wedge is being knocked in. This results in higher splitting forces. The tip is easily applied to the wood and forces itself in. Grooves on the side of the wedge bite into the wood and therefore prevent the wedge from recoiling.

Tung oil is absorbed by wooden surfaces very quickly and hardens them after it has dried, making them mechanically stronger and highly water-resistant. It provides approximately twice as much protection as linseed oil. It deepens colours and enhances the contrast of the grain, but the wood retains its natural visual and tactile characteristics. The protective film is elastic, even in the long term, and, in contrast to linseed oil, darkens very little. If the finish becomes damaged, it can be easily retouched by rubbing more oil over the damaged area. Lignea can be applied without any problems, even in multiple coats, using either a brush or a piece of cloth, and can be thinned with turpentine or mixed with other vegetable oils (e.g. linseed or camellia oil) depending on the user’s preference. Organic Swedish Linseed Oil cold-pressed from linseeds, this hardening oil is for the ecological protection of wood. Highly transparent, chemical-free and food safe with only minimal odour. Linolja can be used directly in its pure form. It is also suitable for producing linseed-oil paint (with iron oxide pigment), as well as mixed with tar oil for use outdoors. 1 l No. 705286 24.50 €/1 L 20.59 € 24.50 € 5 l No. 705283 18.60 €/1 L 78.15 € 93.00 € D E Pine Tar One of the oldest wood preservatives, ideal as paintwork for houses, shingles, fences, equipment, sleds and boats.

Because of its odour, we do not recommend it for cupboard interiors. The tung oil offered here is ecologically sound. It is not pre-oxidized, nor is it mixed with chemical drying agents. consequently, it takes up to three weeks to become dry. (Drying times vary considerably depending on the environmental conditions, type of wood and preparation of the surface.) Once dry, the oil‘s film is chemically stable and free of dangerous emissions. Pure tung oil is relatively viscous, but its ability to penetrate can be improved by thinning with balsam oil of turpentine (No. 705288) or by warming. H TURPENTINE OIL Solvent with ethereal aroma: One of the most valuable solvents on a natural basis, ideal for thinning vegetable oils, oil paints and varnishes as well as for making glazes and polishes with resins, waxes or pigments. This low-viscosity oil, obtained by double-distilling the resin of the maritime pine tree, is colourless and has a fresh, ethereal aroma. G G SWEDISH RED, IRON OxIDE PIGMENT The classic wood preserving paint: It determines the appearance of the landscape of Sweden: The warm, russet colour of the wooden facades of the barns, houses and churches is also an effective wood preservative. The pollutant-free iron oxide pigment (unleaded) can easily be processed in aqueous solution or in a linseed oil emulsion to yield a rich, breathing, natural paint that protects the wood against UV radiation and attacks by pests.

This process is halted when the oil cools down and by the airtight atmosphere (packaging), and resumed when the oil is actually applied to the wood. The process then continues and the oil dries faster. Depending on the original quality of the linseed oil and how long and hot the oil was boiled, it is either still thin and fluid or becomes brittle relatively quickly after being applied. When siccatives are mixed with the oil in the boiling process, we call the result linseed oil varnish. Here too, the amount and type of drying agent determines the drying time, but also the environmental impact. A A LINSEED OIL VARNISH FOR INTERIOR USE High-quality linseed oil varnish from cold-pressed linseed oil to which a small amount of manganese siccatives are added in the boiling process to reduce the drying time. 1 l No. 810093 14.30 €/1 L 12.02 € 14.30 € 5 l No. 810094 11.18 €/1 L 46.97 € 55.90 € B B LINSEED OIL VARNISH FOR ExTERIOR USE Ideal varnish for mixing house or window paints with linseed oil pastes. The varnish is made of high-quality cold-pressed linseed oil to which a small amount of manganese siccatives are added in the boiling process. This significantly reduces the drying time and ensures a stainless finish even in changing weather. To protect against mildew and rot that mainly forms because of the mucilage in the linseed oil, our oil is degummed before further processing. However, to ensure long-term protec- Linseed oil paints Linseed oil paint has a long and proven tradition as an interior and exterior paint. It has the following excellent properties: • 100% natural ingredients • Vapour permeable - the wood can „breathe“ • Can be applied to oiled and already painted surfaces • Stabilises the surface • Natural UV protection • Is absorbed by the wood, thus prevents unwanted formation of layers and peeling off (frequent long-term reaction with industrial paint products) • Long shelf life - can still be used after long storage For our linseed oil varnishes, we only use seasoned and thus degummed, cold-pressed linseed oil that was boiled „gently“ and thus achieves good penetration and quick drying. The manganese siccatives used for the linseed oil varnish are among the most environmentally compatible drying agents and their addition is strictly controlled. tion, we add a small amount of IPBc fungicide to the varnish. With linseed oil pastes with a high zinc content and thus „natural“ anti-fungal protection, the linseed oil varnish can also be used without fungicides for exterior use. Zinc also provides longer-lasting anti-fungal protection. Because of its clear colour, linseed oil varnish itself does not provide any UV protection and thus can only be used outdoors in combination with linseed oil pastes. 1 l No. 810097 15.60 €/1 L 13.11 € 15.60 € 5 l No. 810098 12.30 €/1 L 51.68 € 61.50 € TRADITIONELLE ANSTRIcHE Simon Vejbæk Kinch: This book provides a good overview on the manufacturing of oil based paint and the wide range of possible paint recipes for different purposes. The author describes additives, auxiliary Exterior use Interior use Choice of colour For exterior use it is advisable to use light colours, as darker colours attract the heat in the sunny season. This causes: • Faster decomposition of the oil, so it needs freshening up more frequently • Cracks and warps in the wood and therefore damage to the surface Protection against fungi The higher the zinc content in a pigment, the better the paint inhibits fungal growth. This is important for the choice of colour for exterior use. The zinc content is specified in the product information on the pastes. When mixing paints with a low share of zinc, you should add linseed oil varnish with fungicide additive. UV protection UV protection, which is not provided with raw, cold-bleached or boiled linseed oil or varnish in its pure form, is generally achieved by adding colour pigments. Mixing components Because painting outdoors is heavily dependent on the weather and long drying times can become a problem, we recommend using linseed oil varnish or oil lacquer as the basis for exterior use. Oil lacquer is only slightly absorbed by the wood and, unlike linseed oil varnish, forms a coating layer. Parts that are subject to strongly fluctuating wood moisture, such as windows and doors, should therefore preferably be treated with varnish. You can also mix pine tar with the linseed oil pastes to obtain a different shade. Choice of colour For interior use you can use any colour. Mixing components Suitable mixing components are raw, cold-bleached or boiled linseed oil, oil lacquer or varnish. Do not use linseed oil varnish with fungicides for interior use, as these can still evaporate even after a long time. 46 Linseed oil paints on metal Choice of colour Linseed oil paint is also an ideal base coat for rust-proofing metal parts. For this purpose, we especially recommend Haematite Red Lead and Graphite. Both colours provide excellent rust protection. Mixing components To ensure that the base coat is thoroughly absorbed by the metal, we recommend using linseed oil. For the second and third coat, you should use oil varnish (Le Tonkinois, No. 810087) to seal the surface permanently against penetrating water.

In the early 1970s, the company developed a new material in collaboration with the Swedish army: „Ullfrotté Original“. Beside military and police organizations, mainly people who work outside and many others who like to feel warm are among the customers for clothes made of this fibre. • Woolpower articles are certified by öko-Tex - an international human ecology label that shows that the garments contain no toxic or harmful substances • Wool does not retain odor and therefore the clothes keep a pleasant smell even after long periods of use • Can be machine-washed at up to 60 °c (104 °F) and tumble tried at medium heat • Made in Sweden. Each garment is labelled with the name of the seamstress Woolpower® „Ullfrotté Original“ Unisex thermal underwear for hunting, handicrafts, and outdoor activities • „Ullfrotté Original“ is a fabric made of two-thirds fine Merino wool and onethird synthetic fibers, thus guaranteeing optimum elasticity and durability and forms of activity • Most „Ullfrotté Original“ products are manufactured on circular knitting machines. The advantage of this technology is that the garments worn next to the skin only have minimal seams, which results in a very comfortable fit • Different material thicknesses are available (200 g/m², 400 g/m² and 600 g/m²) and can be combined to ideally suit different temperatures A A WOOLPOWER® SWEATER, GREEN, 400 G/M² Sweater with short collar and zipper.
