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