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