Modified Hammer For Swages
Modify a ball pein hammer to work sheet metal into the swages for spoons and ladles
by CurlyGeorge of Curley George Forge via Google Images |
 Take a ball pein hammer head and grind down the ball somewhat. Then cut off about an inch of the hammer head and grind it to be slightly rounded. This gives you two hammer heads domed to differing degrees to form the metal into the swage. |
Tasting spoons
They're made basically the same way as a spoon/ladle, but the handle is drawn out longer (and thinner IMHO). Here is a gallery of pictures I've Googled to show a variety of styles.
