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