Protect your wire and sheet metal while creating your designs with The Beadsmith Nylon Wedge Hammer. This two-sided mallet is fully made of nylon which is ideal for hammering in situations where you don’t want to mark your work surface or mar the metal you are using. The wooden handle is 9.5 inches. The head is 115mm and weighs 3.8oz. There is a slightly domed round face, measuring 32mm, that has been designed for shaping sheet metals and working with dapping blocks or punch sets, to produce a smooth, rounded effect or to flatten and harden your creations. The other side is an 8mm wedge shape that works well to create curves or bends in metal, such as bails, teardrop shapes and finding components. This is a handy tool for beginners as well as professional jewelry designers. Create custom and professional earrings, bracelets, necklaces, cuff, and bangles without damaging your metal. You may find yourself wanting to get some other accessories to add to your supplies stash. The first tool you will want to add is a bench block. This will give you a solid surface to work on while protecting the other space around you. You may want to consider picking up a mandrel to create consistent loops or rings. These are often essential in wire working. You may also want to play around with some different soft metals such as pewter, sterling, brass, or copper. Mix and match metals to create unique fashion statements or steampunk looks. A personalized piece really makes a gift even more unique and special. Make great gifts for friends or loved ones for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, graduations, or other special occasions.
