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