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