Scythe being straightened with a tinman's or saw setting hammer
Faster than the camera.
Shaping a horse shoe
Hammer at the ready
The scythe tools
Hot work
Too fast to photograph.
With hammer at the ready
Making a horse shoe
Hammer raised
The horse shoe progressing
The big hammer at the ready
Scythe straightening
Scythe straightening tools
Happy at the bellows
A job well done
