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