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