Repoussé & Forming Hammer — Mini Silversmith, Bowed and Cross Peen Faces, 115 mm
This mini silversmith hammer, with its bowed and cross-peen faces, offers precise control for detailed forming and repoussé work on small-scale jewellery.
What it does
The balanced steel head allows for controlled strikes, enabling delicate shaping with the slightly curved face and linear texturing with the cross-peen. Its compact size makes it ideal for intricate tasks where larger hammers would be impractical. The polished striking faces minimise the risk of marring precious metals, and the ergonomically shaped hardwood handle ensures a comfortable, secure grip during extended use, reducing hand fatigue.
How to use it
- Position your metalwork on a suitable surface.
- Use gentle, controlled hammer blows to shape or texture.
- Wipe the head clean after use to maintain its finish.
Who it's for
A vital tool for UK silversmiths and jewellers undertaking repoussé, chasing, or fine forming. It’s also suitable for watchmakers, intricate wire-workers, and dedicated hobbyists working with non-ferrous metals. This hammer excels where larger forming hammers become unwieldy, offering a finer level of control.
