Scythe being straightened with a tinman's or saw setting hammer
Team work at the forge
Cooling down
Hammer at the ready
Shaping a horse shoe
Making a horse shoe
Working the bellows
A job well done
Too fast to photograph.
Hammer raised
Scythe straightening
Two hammers are better than one
Scythe straightening tools
Happy at the bellows
Faster than the camera.
There's a hammer there somewhere
The big hammer at the ready
Scythe straightening
Another shoe on the way
A hot job working the bellows
Straightening a scythe blade
The horse shoe progressing
At the ready
