Chasing Hammer, 45 mm Bow & Flat Faces — Wooden Handle, Repoussé Silversmith Tool
This 45mm chasing hammer is engineered for rapid metal forming and detailed repoussé work on larger jewellery and silversmith projects.
What it does
Its substantial 45mm flat face efficiently stretches and smooths broad areas of sheet metal, reducing the number of blows needed. The opposing polished, rounded bow face allows for controlled pushing and shaping in repoussé and chasing applications. The securely fitted, polished steel head and ergonomically shaped hardwood handle ensure consistent impact and comfortable control during extended use.
How to use it
- Position sheet metal over a suitable chasing hammer stake or forming block.
- Use the flat face for broad strikes to stretch and planish metal.
- Employ the bow face for controlled pushes and detailed shaping.
Who it's for
An indispensable tool for professional UK silversmiths, jewellers, and coppersmiths tackling holloware, plaques, or decorative panels. It's ideal for those moving beyond smaller projects and seeking to cover more area efficiently, replacing the need for multiple smaller hammers on large forms.
