Scythe being straightened with a tinman's or saw setting hammer
The scythe tools
The horse shoe progressing
Faster than the camera.
The big hammer at the ready
Hammer at the ready
Scythe straightening
A little help from a large hammer
A job well done
Straightening a scythe blade
Scythe straightening tools
Working the bellows
Too fast to photograph.
Happy hammering
Cooling down
Making a horse shoe
