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