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