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