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