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