ff deadblow hammer

Today’s hammer is one I was fascinated to learn about. All the various properties of the different metals and how they interact with one another is just amazing to me.

Anyhow, this tool is one used for striking other tools, rather than for use directly on your pieces. In the video I’ll tell you more about the hammer and how to use it.

This 12 oz Dual-Head Dead Blow Mallet is the same as mine, just a different color. Plus, I learned that it’s filled with lead shot, not sand as I said in the video.

Here are a couple of different solid brass hammers:

You would choose the weight based on what you are doing. For most jewelry making I would think the one pound would be sufficient.

Enjoy the video and happy creating!
