Four forming surfaces for one small patch of bench: a flat anvil for planishing, plus low, medium and high domes for pushing curves into sheet and wire. Work a silver disc over the domes for a pendant, or true up bracelet components on the flat — the same kit covers both. For the technique itself, see our guide to forming domes.

Each head is machined from solid steel and polished smooth, so tool marks stay off your workpiece, and each sits in its own weighted rosewood base that steadies the anvil and soaks up hammer blows. Compact enough for smaller benches, with a consistent footprint across all four.

  • Includes four profiles: one flat, one low-dome, one medium-dome, and one high-dome.
  • Anvil heads are machined from steel with a highly polished, non-marring surface.
  • Each anvil is mounted on a stable, polished rosewood base for benchtop use.
  • All anvils share a common 70 mm (2.75-inch) base diameter for a consistent footprint.
  • Designed for shaping, forming, and planishing non-ferrous metals in jewellery work.

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.
