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