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