A substantial 28mm dome face chasing hammer for efficiently shaping and texturing larger metal pieces on the jeweller's bench.

What it does

This hammer's generous 28mm domed face allows for broader metal movement with each deliberate strike, significantly speeding up repoussé and forming tasks. The highly polished steel face ensures a smooth transfer of force, preventing unwanted surface marks on your precious metals. Its well-balanced weight and comfortable, turned wooden handle provide the control needed for both expansive shaping and intricate chasing, reducing fatigue during extended work sessions.

How to use it

  • Secure your metal piece on a suitable chasing stake or forming block.
  • Use controlled, overlapping strikes to move and shape the metal.
  • Wipe the face clean after use to maintain its polished finish.

Who it's for

Essential for UK silversmiths and bench jewellers tackling larger hollowware, bracelets, or pendants. This hammer excels where broad, even metal displacement is required, offering a more efficient alternative to smaller hammers for initial forming stages or when working with larger surface areas.

Common questions at the bench

What weight hammer should I start with?
For most bench work, 4–8 oz is the sweet spot. Lighter hammers (2–4 oz) suit fine detail and chasing punches; 6–8 oz suits forging and texture work. Avoid anything over 12 oz unless you specifically need a raising hammer.
Can I use this on annealed silver and copper?
Yes — these hammers are designed for non-ferrous metals: silver (sterling, fine, britannia), copper, brass, bronze, and aluminium. The polished face will not transfer marks to clean annealed stock when used correctly. For mild steel work, use a separate hammer.
How should I care for it?
Wipe the face down after each session to prevent any tarnish from work residue marking your next piece. If the head develops nicks, polish them out with fine-grit emery and a buffing mop — a marked hammer face transfers marks to your work.
What is in the box?
One hammer with the head and handle fitted, ready for the bench. Polished faces are protected with a thin oil film — wipe before first use.
