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