I really appreciate your mentoring in these videos. I work in copper, am informally trained, and draw on members of my blacksmith guild, old books, pictures, videos and now your channel. I really appreciate your sensible, calm approach to metalwork.

Nice vid Andrew. I like the notion of modifying a cheap hammer with tools to create different texturing faces. Very thrifty if you're on a budget! 😃

Thank you Andrew. Really helpful advice on choosing the correct hammer for the task.

I showed this video to my son. Now he understands all of my hammers ( he wouldn't take my word for it and thought I was trying to justify an addiction lol).

Fantastic video, thank you

I have that beautiful Fretz goldsmith hammer! To be 100% honest, my dad gave me a hammer that has a sticker on it that says "free tacking hammer," and this is the one I use the most!

Brilliant overview, really helpful, thanks.

I Andrew thanks for ur amazing videos, I learn a lot from u and I hope so u continued doing a video tutorial. I would buying the Rawhide Mallet, wich size u suggest?? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for sharing. 🇨🇦😎

Brilliant! Thank you so much. 😊

Great

Hi I have a question .... I'm not even a beginner on this work but you make such a good vids that I will get to start to work on it as a hobby. The question is ..... Where you get the precious material? I checked the web and I found web site selling bullions of many different weights. Or should chase silverware in fairs and charity shop? Maybe is a naive question but I'm really far from your world and so fascinated ..... I will be very grateful if you'll make a vid about or answer it . Thank you very much You are very inspiring

Really nice overview! Thanks!

Thank you. Another video for hammer maintenance?

Thumbs up.. Great to see another video Andrew iv missed your more regular uploads on here. Can I ask whats your thoughts on rubber mallets over raw hide for just tapping rings on the mandrel too?

what size rawhide mallet would you recommend for a ring/bracelet maker? While I have a fair grasp of the other hammers, this one eludes me entirely and I wouldn't relish having to buy twice. Your videos are so useful, keep up the good work. Thank you

Which hammer could you use on sterling triangle wire? Ive bent #3 triangle wire on its 90 degree side and soldered it down in an oval shape. Trouble is the top exposed angle got bent too far down now i need a way to stand it back up.

What kind of Bench Block is that? It's Gorgeous

That rawhide hammer is completely different from what is offered in the states. I would love to find one. The one I have hear is supposed to be wonderful and it's half really hard glue! I really hate it. I've heard soak it then beat it on a wall. If you beat it on a wall wouldn't bits of concrete or brick get embedded into it? I really would love to find one like yours.

I got those fretz anvil but I don’t used much when I used those sharp hammers because I think I might damage the anvil .?

Which is the best type of hammer to work harden ring bands, in particular cross over bands, thanx

It's........Hammer Time! :D

Hello I purchased your at the bench membership and I get errors when emailing you from both of your sites and my login info will not work

Hi Andrew, how do you prevent your plannishing block from becoming marked, especially when using ball pein and texturing hammers?
