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