Scythe being straightened with a tinman's or saw setting hammer
The horse shoe progressing
Shaping a horse shoe
Two hammers are better than one
With hammer at the ready
Too fast to photograph.
Happy at the bellows
Cooling down
Team work at the forge
Scythe straightening
A hot job working the bellows
At the ready
Faster than the camera.
A little help from a large hammer
Straightening a scythe blade
Happy hammering
Hammer at the ready
Scythe straightening tools
