Doming & Dapping Block, Hardened Steel — 14 Half-Sphere Depressions, 125 × 65 mm

A doming block for raising curves out of flat sheet — start a disc in a shallow depression and work it through successively larger ones until the dome is smooth and even. Fourteen half-sphere depressions from 3.2 mm to 26.5 mm give a full graduated run for earring domes, pendant components and formed blanks; pair it with dapping punches and our guide to forming domes and beads.

The block is machined from hardened tool steel with the top ground flat, so the space between depressions doubles as a small flattening surface. At 125 x 65 x 25 mm and 900 g it sits solidly on the bench, and it is intended for soft, non-ferrous metals.

• Forming small domes for earrings and pendants
• Creating curved components for models
• Shaping soft metal blanks for jewellery making
