Product description
A must-have for any workshop, this steel jeweler's striking block provides a flat, sturdy surface for hammering, flattening, or shaping your metal pieces with precision as you create your DIY jewelry.
Its flat, ground surface makes it an essential tool for metalworking in jewelry making. This steel jeweler’s hammer has two sides: one recommended for hammering and punching, the other for flattening pieces. Its solid construction ensures optimal stability during use. It measures 10 x 10 cm and is 1 cm thick, which keeps it firmly in place on the work surface.
To avoid marks on the pieces being worked on, a few simple precautions should be taken:
- Sliding a piece of leather between the workpiece and the anvil helps minimize friction.
- Use scratch-resistant adhesive film applied directly to the surface before beginning.
- Once the work is complete, sanding followed by polishing will restore the pieces’ full luster.
This hammering block is suitable for many techniques: flattening metal wires, shaping components, hammering sheets, or punching metal pieces. It can be used to work with copper, brass, or silver.
It is usually placed on a support such as leather scraps, a sandbag, or rubber pads to cushion impacts and stabilize the workpiece.
Whether you’re new to jewelry making or already have experience, technical guides and tutorials are available on the website to help you learn how to use the tools, master hammering techniques, work with metal wire, and even punch out designs. No matter your skill level, you’ll find practical tips to help you progress at your own pace.
The anvil is shipped without feet or a rubber base
Sold per 1 piece.
