This rounded planishing hammer is designed for shaping and smoothing larger metal forms, ideal for holloware and larger jewellery pieces.
What it does
The substantial steel head, featuring dual polished faces with a shallow dome, efficiently smooths sheet metal and reduces finishing marks. Its weight is engineered to provide leverage for planishing broad surfaces, essential for creating smooth, flowing contours on bowls, trays, and larger fabricated items. The balanced hardwood handle ensures a comfortable and controlled swing, allowing for precise application of force.
How to use it
- Select the appropriate face for your form's curve.
- Strike the metal with controlled, overlapping blows.
- Keep striking faces clean to avoid transferring marks.
Who it's for
An indispensable tool for silversmiths, coppersmiths, and makers of larger holloware. This hammer is also suitable for metal shapers and restorers working on substantial panels. It complements forming blocks and larger stakes, replacing less efficient methods for achieving a smooth, finished surface.

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.
