Large-scale doming: five punches with polished steel spherical heads of 28, 35, 38, 40 and 45 mm, the sizes for working sheet into generous domes, caps and cabochon settings. Set the sheet over a doming block, seat the punch and strike with a mallet — the polished head forms the metal without marking it.
The punches live on a labelled wooden stand, each size visible and to hand rather than rolling loose in a drawer. Sized for silversmithing, jewellery and metal forming — the work a standard set's smaller punches cannot cover.

Common questions at the bench
How do I form a dome?
Anneal (soften) the metal first. Set the disc or blank on a cavity, choose a punch that fits that cavity and strike lightly while moving the punch round. Work the dome in stages through the cavities, with a punch that fits each one, until it has the depth and shape you want, annealing again if the metal becomes hard to move.
Which punch fits which cavity?
Use a punch smaller than the cavity, leaving room all round for the thickness of the metal. A punch that is too large pinches the metal against the edge of the cavity, which marks the dome and can damage the punch and the block.
Will it mark my work?
Grit, filings or scratches in a cavity or on a punch head print into the dome. Keep the cavities and punches clean and smooth, use punches that fit, and strike squarely rather than hard.
How should I look after it?
Wipe the block and punches clean after use and store them dry, where the cavities and punch heads cannot knock against other tools. Keep anything made of wood away from water and pickle.
