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