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