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