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