Scythe being straightened with a tinman's or saw setting hammer
Working the bellows
Happy at the bellows
The scythe tools
Making a horse shoe
A little help from a large hammer
At the ready
Cooling down
Another shoe on the way
Starting again
Shaping a horse shoe
Happy hammering
Hammer at the ready
Team work at the forge
With hammer at the ready
Scythe straightening
Hot work
There's a hammer there somewhere
Too fast to photograph.
