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