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