ff nylon hammer

Nylon, rubber, rawhide and even wooden mallets are all used in similar ways when metal working. They are used to move and reshape the metal without stretching or marring it.

In the video I’ll give you some tips for using these helpful tools. It helps to understand why the metal behaves the way it does so you can control it and get the results you want.

You’ll find the nylon mallet I use on Amazon. They also have a larger 5″ nylon hammer for those who do heavier work.

Enjoy the video and happy hammering!
