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