Ho-Mi Garden Tool



This tool was constructed with the help of my 7th grade students. What I failed to mention is that the Ho-Mi is much easier on the wrists than a typical trowel due to the pulling motion vs. a stabbing motion. The instructions on how to build your own can be found on www.instructables.com

    손잡이가 길어지는걸 보니 조만간 곡갱이도 인기 있을듯…
    아직 얘네들은 호미만 알고 곡갱이를 모르는구만…

    호미 하나 가지고 뭔 호들갑이냐는 한국인들에게..

    우리나라는 세계최초로 금속활자 '직지'를 발명했습니다. 이것은 인류 역사상 가장 중요한 역사 1위에 해당하는 역사입니다. 고려시대에 금속활자를 만들어낸 우리나라가 당시 얼마나 선진국가 였는지 우리는 반드시 알아야하고, 자부심을 가져야합니다. 동아시아 국가중에 쇠숟가락, 쇠젓가락으로 밥먹는 나라 대한민국. 자부심 가져주세요. 우리 선조들은 나무라는 재료는 아무리 코팅을 해도 음식과 만나면 비위생적이라는것을 알았기때문에 쇠수저를 만드신거예요. 소독되라구요. 그릇도 마찬가지. 중국, 일본애들은 죽었다깨도 녹그릇 못만들어요… 호미 못만들어요… 자부심 가지세요. 기술이 워낙 발전해서 만들어낸 발명품인데 왜 챙피합니까… 고려시대때 우리는 세계 최고의 선진국이었고, 고구려시대때부터 일본은 우리나라의 속국(식민지)이었어요. 불쌍해서 도자기 만드는거, 집짓는거, 농사짓는거 이기술 저기술 알려주고 쇠로 만든 선물도 주고했는데 고마운줄도 모르고 그 쇠붙이들 싹 녹여서 무기 만들어서 쳐들어 온게 일본놈들입니다. 지금 우리나라 보다 조금 더 잘산다고 보여지는 모습이 조금 깨끗해보인다고 너무들 일본 찬양 좀 하지 마세요. 일본 전통밥그릇이라는 것도 우리나라 나주막사발 뺏어간건 아시는지.. 동아시아 국가중에 우리나라 보다 찬란한 역사와 뛰어난 문화유산을 가진 나라는 없습니다. 국뽕이 아니라 사실입니다. 자부심을 가집시다.

    Hi
    tjpetronzio

    My name is Jung-Eun Park and I am from a South Korean TV program called ‘Morning Wide’ at a National broadcast network called SBS.

    We are currently doing a story on various traditional or unique Korean products that are popular outside of Korea. We came across your reaction video on the ‘homi’, which is why I am leaving this review!

    Would it be possible for us to have a skype interview with you where you review the ‘homi’ to us and have a short interview? Please don’t feel burdened. It will be a fun experience!

    If possible, please contact me on +82-010-9258-0866 or email me on pjeun9922@gmail.com

    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    Ho-mi is Korean traditional farming tool.
    But China is making imitations. So please
    be careful if you are going to buy Ho-mi

    '주모' means jumo, and jumo means
    Korean traditional restaurant's manager. Korea people say "jumo!"
    when thier coutry win other country
    or foreigners say like "Korea things are good"

    Ho-mi is a traditional Korean farming tool that has been used for more than a thousand years. I'm surprised and happy that Ho-mi sell well abroad.

    As a Korean, I would say your design is very different from Ho-mi, the original Korean one is made by a blacksmith which they use, fire and hammer a thousand times to make it strong. They don't use ordinary iron but cast iron to create this versatile farming tool.

    If anyone likes to buy Korean Ho-mi, you should be careful, there are so many Chinese one available in Amazon and Ebay, Korean ones are not sharpened one, and it's heavier than Chinese ones, as it is made with Cast Iron.

    It's not ordinary Ho-mi. Ordinary Ho-mi has a much shorter hand … like 12cm.

  41. Gregory Kim

    centrifugal force from a wrist empowered by a counter weight that's itself the working part. So, Long rod handle is not so good to homi.

  42. Brian C

    It's awesome that you made it yourself but the original is a bit more angled and the reason is as you dig a trench, the angle automatically pushes the dirt to the side. Instead of dragging the dirt to the end.
