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