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