Chasing & Repoussé Hammer, 38 mm Bow and Flat Faces — Silversmith & Hobby Craft Tool
This 38mm dual-face chasing hammer is engineered for efficient metal movement in larger repoussé and forming tasks.
What it does
Its substantial 38mm bowed face distributes impact evenly across broader areas, ideal for developing deep reliefs and textured surfaces in sheet metal. The precisely machined flat face offers a clean strike for planishing and general forming, ensuring a smooth, undisturbed finish. Crafted with a hardened steel head and a securely wedged, turned hardwood handle, this hammer provides reliable weight and balance for sustained bench work.
How to use it
- Position your metal over a suitable chasing or forming surface.
- Strike the metal with controlled blows using the appropriate face.
- Clean the hammer faces after use to maintain the finish.
Who it's for
An essential tool for UK silversmiths and coppersmiths undertaking medium to large-scale repoussé and chasing. It's also well-suited for metalworking hobbyists seeking to advance their skills beyond smaller-scale projects, offering a direct replacement for less efficient forming methods.
