Planishing hammers are good to smooth out bumps made with a peen. Many of our hammers have come from garage sales, thrift stores and antique shops.

The idea is to make bowl shapes without scoring the metal as you would with a flat faced hammer. If you can get your hands on some big ball bearings, these make excellent dishing tools. You can also buy a low cost 3lb sledge\/drilling hammer and use an angle grinder to make the face ball shaped.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/glyndmere.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20200206_dishing_hammers.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glyndmere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20200206_dishing_hammers.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/glyndmere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20200206_dishing_hammers-512x342.jpg 512w, https:\/\/glyndmere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/20200206_dishing_hammers-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A nylon hammer (center of photo) won&#8217;t damage the metal surface you are hammering.
