If you are going to do any kind of wire or sheet metal hammering or shaping, then you definitely need a surface to pound on!
That’s all a bench block is, a surface on which to do hammering or forming. The type of surface you need is determined by what you are trying to accomplish. In the video I show you my three most used bench blocks and give some tips on how to use & care for them.
They are:
- Bench Block Wire Hardening and Wire Wrapping Tool
- Solid Stainless Steel Mini Jewelry Anvil
- Round leather Sandbag
Enjoy the video and happy creating!
You can watch the Friday Findings-Bench Blocks video over at YouTube.
I’m kind of surprised that none of those are very expensive–all are under $20 each.
Good point! You certainly can pay more, but these do the job nicely.
