Bowed-Face Chasing Hammer — 45 mm (1.75 Inch) Dome Head, Wood Handle, Jewellery Making

Master large-scale metal forming with this chasing hammer, designed for efficient shaping and texturing of sheet metal.

What it does

This hammer facilitates controlled metal movement across broad surfaces, ideal for raising holloware or creating large repoussé panels. Its significant 45mm bowed dome face distributes force evenly, encouraging smooth, graduated flow with each strike. The highly polished convex surface minimises the risk of marking your workpiece, while the opposing pein offers finer detailing options. The balanced wood handle ensures comfortable control during extended use.

How to use it

• Position your sheet metal over a suitable forming block.
• Strike the metal with controlled, overlapping blows using the bowed face.
• Use the pein for finer detail work or planishing.

Who it's for

Essential for UK silversmiths and bench jewellers undertaking substantial forming tasks, such as creating bowls or large decorative panels. This hammer excels where broad, even texturing or raising is required, often replacing smaller hammers for efficiency on larger projects.
