Here is a new addition to the shop. A harbour frieght planishing hammer. Went to the store to exchange a item and they had it on sale for $99 , with my 20% coupon it was about $79 out the door.

Actually works well for what it is, had to drill the side of the hammer mount and tap it for a larger screw to secure the hammer better.

Tried it out on a scrap piece of 18 gauge and was able to work a nice 2" radius into the piece in amount 3 to 4 minutes.

I will be making further modifications to it so I can possibly attach a english wheel attachment so I can have a bench top planishing hammer / english wheel combo.
