Scythe being straightened with a tinman's or saw setting hammer
Scythe straightening
Hot work
Cooling down
Another shoe on the way
Hammer raised
Starting again
There's a hammer there somewhere
Making a horse shoe
Straightening a scythe blade
Scythe straightening tools
With hammer at the ready
A hot job working the bellows
A job well done
The horse shoe progressing
Scythe straightening
Faster than the camera.
Working the bellows
Hammer at the ready
Happy hammering
