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