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