Take your metalworking to the next level with The Beadsmith Chasing Hammer. Known for embossing, this hammer creates a style in which metal is shaped by hammering for the front side of a piece of metal, creating and smoothing dents. The two-sided steel head gives you options for doming or creating bows in metal, forming unique patterns and replications. Embossing tools will stretch your metal, allowing you to manipulate most softer metals, such as pewter, sterling silver, aluminum, brass, copper, and nickel silver. Use in conjunction with repousse hammers to form indents and scallops from the back side of metal, forming even more unique designs. The lightweight wood handle is easy to grip and works in partnership with the weighted head, which is easy to control.
To protect your work bench and other surface, it’s best to work on bench blocks. The Beadsmith Steel Bench Block is an essential jeweler’s tool with many purposes. The long-lasting block starts with hardened steel that is ground flat, then polished and case hardened. This process makes it very durable, creating a surface that is resistant to dents and scratches. The heavy weight of the block keeps it in place on your work surface, also protecting your workbench from excessive wear and tear. The flat surface allows you to lay out your designs, prior to starting your projects. Once you’re ready to start creating, use your block for chasing, shaping, and stamping. Perfect for hardening wire and works with all types of metal including gold, sterling silver and copper. The bench blocks are ideal for silversmithing and metalsmithing and can be used with ball peen hammers, mallets, and other tools.
