hand planishing (smoothing the rough lumpy)
Rough lumpy metal, bashed and beat on.
Brass. Old. Valuable. Basic hand tools: small hammer, Marlin spike (12in), deep reach hammer Good lighting. Comfortable working position. Attachment 63092 Attachment 63093 Attachment 63094 Sometimes you never know what is under the lumps and bashing, nicks and gouges.... Attachment 63095 Attachment 63096 Attachment 63097 Attachment 63098  1800's French "bowl mfr" was hammered in "courses" - marked lines circumferential, starting heaviest hammering at outer edge and proceeding lighter towards Center. Cool stuff to find when carefully planishing. (Very particular customer and collection.)
