What did nobles in medieval times use as tools?

Answer 1

While some medieval tools survive almost unchanged today, others have been overtaken by modern technology.

At hay-making time, men used scythes to mow the fields of hay before raking it into lines to dry. These scythes had to be kept very sharp and one method was to use a strickel - a flat piece of wood with a handle which was dipped into a mixture of fine sand and tallow (rendered mutton fat). The sand stuck to the strickel, which was then used to sharpen the scythe blade.

A bill or bill-hook was a tool used for laying hedges, making them proof against even very small animals. The bill as used to cut almost through the trunks a long line of young blackthorn, holly or other trees and lay them all down in the same direction. They would continue to grow, weaving in amongst each other but also sending up fresh shoots - these were also "laid" and the process continued until a very thick, prickly hedge was created. It had to be constantly maintained using billhooks.

Another medieval tool is the drawknife, which has a central blade and angled handles each end. This could be used to shape wheel spokes, the staves of a barrel or bucket, a bow, timbers for the legs of a stool or many other tasks.
