In this video, Prof. John Ahr demonstrates how to create a hammered dome form sheet metal using a minimum of tools. Making mulitples of this shape can be used to make Earrings, Necklace or even a belt. If you don't own a dapping block, you'll want to see this video. The only tools used to form the disc are hammers.
Caution! Hammers are made of hardened steel. They can shatter if they are struck together. Be sure to wear your eye protection and exercise caution if you use this technique. Remember to strike your work with the hammer, and not the other hammer.
