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