Ball Peen Jewelers
What is the best hammer for working with silver, brass and copper? ?
I would like to try working with metal, particularly silver to make jewellery, and want to know what is the best hammer to get. I have an ordinary ball pein (or peen) hammer, would I be able to use that, or is a jewelers ball pein hammer different? What about a chasing hammer, leather/ raw hide hammer or a nylon hammer? What are they best used for?
I would like to try making rings, charms, earrings etc. I will be working with sheet metal, brass, copper and silver (sterling and nickle), and the same metals in wire. I am an extreme beginner, trying out both soldering and cold connected
All and any advice re metal work is greatly appreciated!
Hmmm, I would start off with the hammer you have, and see how it goes, then maybe go to a fine metal working forum and see what they advise.
