Scythe being straightened with a tinman's or saw setting hammer
Starting again
Making a horse shoe
A job well done
Scythe straightening tools
Another shoe on the way
With hammer at the ready
Too fast to photograph.
Two hammers are better than one
A hot job working the bellows
The scythe tools
At the ready
Hammer at the ready
Team work at the forge
Working the bellows
Straightening a scythe blade
Hammer raised
Hot work
Scythe straightening
Scythe straightening
There's a hammer there somewhere
A little help from a large hammer
Happy at the bellows
