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