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