I built the desert hybrid planishing hammer. It works well. Peter has a good point that learning the basics with hand tools is important. Otherwise the machines will simply allow you to make scrap really fast

Hello Patrick and welcome. I agree with Peter and Scott. Learn to move metal with hand tools only first. Watch Peter on U-Tube or better yet buy his tapes.

Yeah good idea, I will try this first but what the basis tool I need to start ? A sand bag and 2-3 mallet like there sell on eastwood !?

Hello Patrick:

Harbor Freight has two tear drop hammers for much less.

You can make yourself a usable sand bag out of an old leather purse from the thrift store. Fill it with sand and off you go.

Try making a blister and turn the flange by hand.
