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