CHASING HAMMER WITH BENCH BLOCK SET
Chasing Hammers are known for embossing, this hammer 28MM 4 OZ creates a style in which metal is shaped by hammering for the front side of a piece of metal, creating and smoothing dents. The two-sided steel head gives you options for doming or creating bows in metal, forming unique patterns and replications. Embossing tools will stretch your metal, allowing you to manipulate most softer metals, such as pewter, sterling silver, aluminum, brass, copper, and nickel silver. Use in conjunction with repousse hammers to form indents and scallops from the back side of metal, forming even more unique designs. The lightweight wood handle is easy to grip and works in partnership with the weighted head, which is easy to control. To protect your work bench and other surface, it’s best to work on bench blocks or with dapping or doming blocks. The embossing hammer is excellent for jewelry designers who want to create one-of-a-kind earring, necklaces, and bracelets or to cultivate a certain esthetic collection like a steampunk or rocker look. Create dramatic textures to your metalwork to create unique patterns and finishes. Metalsmiths will add these dual sided hammers to their workbench or tool kits to make unique pieces such as bowls, plates, cups, frames, and other art. Truly a wonderful tool for those wanting to try their hand at metalworking.
