Continuing in our series on jewelry tools today I’m going to tell you about rawhide mallets. Although not the most glamorous of tools, a rawhide mallet is useful when you need to harden or change the shape of a piece without creating hammer marks.
The rawhide mallet I use is quite small, it’s all I need for jewelry making, but the links below show you several different sizes available.
- Garland 11000 Rawhide Mallet Size 0
, 1 inch face, 2 oz.
- Garland 11001 Rawhide Mallet Size 1,
1.25 inch face, 4 oz.
- Garland Rawhide Mallet Size 2,
1.5 inch face, 6 oz.
- Garland Rawhide Mallets Size 3,
2 inch face, 9 oz.
Enjoy the video and happy creating!
