Scythe being straightened with a tinman's or saw setting hammer
Hammer raised
Scythe straightening
At the ready
A little help from a large hammer
Starting again
Working the bellows
Scythe straightening
The scythe tools
The horse shoe progressing
Happy hammering
Straightening a scythe blade
With hammer at the ready
Too fast to photograph.
A hot job working the bellows
Team work at the forge
Hot work
The big hammer at the ready
Another shoe on the way
