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