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