Scythe being straightened with a tinman's or saw setting hammer
Making a horse shoe
A job well done
The horse shoe progressing
A hot job working the bellows
At the ready
Starting again
There's a hammer there somewhere
Hammer at the ready
The scythe tools
Too fast to photograph.
The big hammer at the ready
A little help from a large hammer
Straightening a scythe blade
Shaping a horse shoe
Happy hammering
Team work at the forge
