We're in a state of EXTREME autumn.

The trees were spectacular, but raking leaves was a constant job for about 4 months of the year. When they were really coming down (what's shown here is pretty light), that sweeper would be completely full after less than one pass the width of the yard. Mowing the front lawn was a nice, tidy 20 minute job, but sweeping the leaves could take a couple hours. Photo by Walter Reed

I hate this time of year when the golfballs are falling and you have rake them up.

Rake man

You can get quite far head when you're not lumbered down with rucksacks. The wind was also a bit gusty here.

A farmer stops to pose for me and the family as we take a photo of him raking his havest of hay or alfalfa. After this he'll get the baler to produce the nice rectangle bales that we're all used to.

Boy, my allergies were going nuts when we stopped! This was on the way to the Tanger Outlets in Park City, UT.

Part of the performance by the group from Santo Tomas Ocotepec. I didn't understand what they were doing. While some of the people sat in a large circle and raked wool pulled yarn etc., a blindfolded woman sought out a piece of ribbon from a basket in the circle around here. This is accompanied by guitar and violin music.

I've messed around with various methods of measuring fork rake. I'm really liking this one. It seems accurate and repeatable. The pics don't show it but I tried it on two different forks, and I measured them with the rake going to my right (as shown) as well as to my left. All the measurements were very close.

The fork shown was designed to have 66mm of rake, but it's 67.5. The other fork was supposed to be 45, but it's 43.

I'm disappointed that the errors are in opposite directions, because it means that I can't blame the calibration of my jig... What can I blame?

This image shows a 1" bar mounted in my fork alignment fixture, and a Brown & Sharpe magnetic block sitting on my table.

The 1" bar is from a Thompson linear bearing, so it hardened and ground and very straight.

I've used that bar to see if my home-made alignment fixture is holding the fork steerer tube(s) parallel to the table. I can only see a few thousandths of an inch deviation in height from one end of the bar to the other, so I'm satisfied with that.

My wife says I look rakish!

I found a big rake in the garage, so I decided to rake the seaweed off our beach, which turned out to be a great idea.

I hired these men to get pine needles off of my roof, but they could get only those they could reach with a rake. It occurred to me when watching them that I think I've seen ads for rakes with very long handles -- long enough to reach from the ground to the middle of a roof. If they really do exist, I should get one since I would be able to do at least as good a job of pine-needle removal as they did today.

Found in warehouse, just waiting for me. View L please.

If I need to break up a largish area of soil but it has leaves on it I clear them off quickly using a lightweight plastic leaf rake before using my 3 tined cultivator to break up the soil.

Here's a link to me using the cultivator. You'll see just how quick and easy it is

Old fashioned hay rake during the evening golden hour.

I believe this is a horse drawn rake.

I found some volunteer labor to rake my yard this year.

Rakes in the garage, leaning towards the light, yearning for spring when they can get out again.

The alfalfa field has been cut, raked into windrows and is ready for baling!

Anyone remember or ride around on the dump rake? Sitting on the old metal seat rattling around the field and pushing the lever when the rake collected all the hay that didn't get picked up from the field. It was fun riding it as a kid, but I wouldn't want to do it now.

Not sure about Sanna's raking technique. Seems a little of an odd position to be in!
