Scythe being straightened with a tinman's or saw setting hammer
There's a hammer there somewhere
Happy hammering
Straightening a scythe blade
Working the bellows
Too fast to photograph.
At the ready
Happy at the bellows
Scythe straightening
A little help from a large hammer
A job well done
Making a horse shoe
Hammer at the ready
Shaping a horse shoe
Another shoe on the way
