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