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