10 OZ. DOUBLE TEXTURE HAMMER DOTS/ WIDE CIRCLES

The Metal Elements line by The Beadsmith features a collection of texturing and embossing tools that take your metalworking to the next level. Each hammer features a double-sided head with two different patterns on each face. Choose from dimples, stripes, weaving, circles, speckles and dots. Add texture and designs to you metal that create unique art and one-of-a-kind art jewelry. To use, simply strike sheet metal or metal jewelry blanks with your chosen design face and create your desired pattern. Texturing hammers will stretch your metal, allowing you to manipulate most softer metals, such as pewter, sterling silver, aluminum, brass, copper, and nickel silver. Use in conjunction with embossing hammers to form domed shapes and other patterns. The lightweight wood handle is easy to grip and helps with hand fatigue, which is sometimes cause by frequent hammering. To protect your work bench and other surface, it’s best to work on bench blocks or with dapping or doming blocks. The embossing hammer is excellent for jewelry designers who want to create one-of-a-kind earring, necklaces, and bracelets or to cultivate a certain esthetic collection like a steampunk or rocker look. Create dramatic textures to your metalwork to create unique patterns and finishes. Metalsmiths will add these dual sided hammers to their workbench or tool kits to make unique pieces such as bowls, plates, cups, frames, and other art. Truly a wonderful tool for those wanting to try their hand at metalworking.
