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