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