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