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