Driving tools
Driving is a free-forming process for materials and is one of the forming processes for metals.
By working with a hammer, dies, on a leather bag or using chasing pitch, different shapes can be created.
Featuring various working surfaces, milled and hardened from tool steel; leveling surface, V-block, bending edges, forming grooves, dishing depressions, boreholes, square mounting sockets (20 x 20 and 28 x 28); Dimensions: 120 x 120 x 120 mm, 10 kg, burnished finish. Back in Stock! Features: Milled from tool steel Hardened for long service life Blackened (burnished) finish Compact dimensions Working Surfaces: Flattening surface: 120 x 120 mm, flat 1x Square socket: 20 x 20 mm 1x Square socket: 28 x 28 mm Square sockets feature spring-loaded plates 90° V-groove (Prism): 20 mm deep Bending edge: Continuous Mounting hole: Ø 13 mm, 60 mm deep Swaging groove: R 20, 20 mm deep Forming groove: R 10, 10 mm deep Dishing depression: Ø 75 mm (R 55) Forming depressions: R 3, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 18 mm Holes: Ø 3, 4, 5, 6 mm — 15 mm deep Holes: Ø 13 mm — 50 mm deep Compared to the older variant, this version is not cast, but rather milled from a solid block of tool steel. Subsequently, the part is hardened and blackened. This manufacturing process results in superior surface finish and hardness compared to the previous model.

grey, 500 g This specialized plasticine putty is the ideal tool for learning the fundamentals of blacksmithing. It allows for realistic "dry runs" without the need for a hot iron. When worked, the putty behaves remarkably similarly to glowing steel. This makes it quick and easy to simulate how the material reacts to targeted hammer blows. Whether drawing, upsetting, twisting, or splitting – all classic blacksmithing techniques can be perfectly practiced with this putty before working on a real workpiece at the anvil. Properties: Easy to shape Good forming properties Stable base Easy to shape with a hammer and tools Behavior similar to glowing steel Upsetting, drawing, twisting, splitting, and much more... Not just for cold forging!
as support for doing repoussé work for sand filling, handmade of best resistant leather, sewed all around on the inside, with press button closing.
Soft pitch for repoussé work Features: Made in Germany according to a traditional formula Easy to work with Safe to handle An ideal aid for repoussé work on copper sheets and other materials Available in various hardness grades Ensures results with sharp, precise contours Residues can be easily removed from the workpiece Application: To embed a workpiece, the pitch is slowly heated until it becomes viscous. The pitch is then pressed into shape and, upon cooling, acquires its stabilizing firmness. Any residues remaining on the finished workpiece can subsequently be removed by carefully heating the piece with a heat gun or by using solvents. Which pitch is used for what purpose? Soft: For deep repoussé work and large-scale deformations. Medium: The standard choice for most repoussé and chasing work. Hard: For very fine details and shallow reliefs.
