What does a new... amateur silversmith/silver pourer do with a bar that's... just too ugly to be of use?
Well... Melt it down I suppose. But not before testing out my new ball-peen hammer on it.
Hammer Time!
K, so I smacked the bar a few times... then put it in the melt pile. Today I pulled it out of the melt pile... polished the hammer to get rid of some of the unwanted texture on the ball... then smacked the bar a bunch more times.
Didn't have to much to lose... it's the Melt Pile. So... without further ado, check out this bar.

Far from perfect... but no longer in the melt pile either. "Sprue You, Melt Pile!"
What else....? What else? Oh yes. I think there was a contest winner to announce. Please Watch:

Is it a real technique to "hammer" a bar?

Yeah, I own hammered bars from Mr. Zeke and High Five Silver. But they're way better at it 😜
**Mr. Zeke uses the Tree of Life.
High Five Silver makes hands in different finishes among other things ;-)
