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