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