Hammers for Coppersmithing

If you're looking to build your coppersmith shop (or tinsmith shop), there are a handful of hammers always in use and rotation for me (and Bob the master smith, too!). Hope this is helpful if you're wondering what to have around for your projects!
Below are links to hammers I use (I am NOT paid / affiliated with any, it's just what I've accumulated over time!).
Rubber hammer: www.zoro.com/kraft-tool-32-oz...
Rawhide hammer: www.amazon.com/Garland-11003-...
Setting down hammer - sometimes called a "tinsmith's hammer" can be found by scouring Ebay and vintage stores. These are not available online from retailers.
The wood mallet was handmade by a woodworker, but this is a nice one: hammersource.com/th12005-soli...
Ball peen hammer - any local hardware store
Larger (ball peen) hammer - any local hardware store

    Hi, I am a retired/disabled chef w/a very large collection of copper cookware(over 75 pieces). From 5g pots to 1/8c measuring cup, dating from the 18thc to modern. I am waiting for an order from Johnson & a few bottles of flux. Your vids have inspired me to take the plunge(paying someone $10k to re-tin is a bit out of my budget). I have a minimum experience in metalwork, from jewelry to full scale armor. I already have the basic tools & have been building up the courage to start. W/the temps here hovering around 100F, I plan to wait for the fall, but will collect materials & watch all of your vids! In the meantime I have started cleaning & planishing. Thanks for the inspiration! Your book is on order from Amazon!
