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