chasing hammer

The liner is hit on the end with a chasing hammer, pushing a thin line of metal into the pitch.

I use simple tools to carve including hammers, chisels, chasing hammers and rasps.

Hammering wire with a metal jeweler's hammer (chasing hammer) will harden and flatten wire.

Other useful tools used in making wire wrapped jewelry are nylon jaw pliers, a ruler, step jaw pliers, a pin vise to twist the wire, a chasing hammer, an anvil or bench block, a cup bur, loop closing or bent closing pliers and a jewelry making jig.
