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