Fretz Goldsmithing Cross Pein Hammer

Fretz Goldsmithing Cross Pein Hammer

A signature combination of two essential hammer faces, ideal for small forging projects. The cross peen is used to stretch metal in one direction when forging. The goldsmithing face is used for radial forging, moving metal outward in all directions, as well as planishing to remove marks left by the cross peen. Both faces have no need to polish either end, just keep them tidy with Scotch Brite® or 220 sandpaper. Unless this hammer is the final tool to touch the work, there is no need to polish. This hammer is required for classes at the Revere Academy of Jewellery Arts in San Francisco, California.
