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.

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.
