Thread: Need a tool for making scales

I'm looking for a small hammer to use on a small anvil. I want to start making my own scales and can get a piece of iron to use as the anvil but need the hammer to put the pins in the scales. I searched hobby supplies on line but came up empty. Any suggestions?

what stores are near you. At most you can find a small ball pein hammer.
Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

These guys sell a 2 oz hammer, albeit a little pricey.

Ball Pein Hammers

I find 8 oz is too heavy.

If you can't find anything else you can use an octogon shaped dunbel as an anvil

Also try a seller on ebay who goes by "qwatch" great guy to deal with and he has the 2oz hammers and a ton more stuff that we use....

i got a new 4 oz peen hammer from sears. about 14 bucks. so check there also. as for a small avil a piece of old rail road track works really really well. not sure where to come up with one but they last forever.

Nice hammers here.
