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