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