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