Fretz® Wide Raising Hammer
The Wide Raising Hammer can be used to raise sheet metal into a bowl against a wooden stake or a metal T-stake. It is also useful for raising in cylinders to form a concave shape. This same hammer also makes it possible to planish subtle concave shapes.
A raising hammer is a hammer with a rounded face used to shape sheet metal and force the basic shape of bowls and vases:
- Purpose: Used in the early stages of shaping, raising hammers are used to raise sheet metal without thinning it out. They can
also be used to form concave shapes and raise small cylinders. - Features: Raising hammers can have different head shapes and sizes:
- Thin heads: Allow the hammer to fit into tighter curves
- Longneck: Has a longer reach and is good for raising larger vessels or odd-shaped work
-
Uses: Raising hammers are used in jewelry making and metal working
