A Metalshaping Essential!
Hard Wood Slappers for Metal Shaping Projects in Aluminum, Copper, Brass & Steel
Metalshapers know that wood slappers of various shapes, although seemingly simple tools, quickly become a valuable asset in any metal shop. Made from top-quality hard wood, our signature slappers are made to our specs from grade A hard maple for strength and durability.
Why do I need a wood slapper when I have so many great hammers?
Unlike a hammer or a mallet, a wood slapper has the added benefit of a offering a variety of curved surfaces for forming the desired curve in the metal being worked. Wood slappers are particularly helpful for stretching large areas of metal and for shaping gradual curves. And, almost without exception, wood slappers are required for large metal shaping projects such as hoods, door skins, trunk lids and the like.
Features Include:
Rounded handle and grip area are designed with comfort in mind to provide the hand and wrist a relaxed working position combined with a sturdy grasp.
A long-term tool investment! Our wood slappers are custom designed for professional results. Additionally, they are sealed with protective oil to resist stains and guard against moisture.
Curved slapper includes a generous, 1/8" thick, leather face cover to protect your work and eliminate marring of the metal. Keep in mind, leather faces are a necessity when working with aluminum. Steel can be worked (slapped) with bare wood without fear of marking the metal.

Planishing hammers are a real 'workhorse' of the metal shaping process. They are unexcelled for flattening welds, working in constricted areas, and stretching flanges. Ron demonstrates the basic procedures for using these machines, including proper die selection and operator technique, and he shows their use on both steel and aluminum panels.
More specialized techniques are covered too, including flanging, riveting, and making reverse curves. This program shows seven different planishing hammers in action, from bargain-priced entry-level machines, through vintage and hand-held machines, to the most robust professional-level machines available, giving the viewer invaluable insight about the great diversity of these machines, and which features are most important for specific types of work.
As popular as planishing hammers are, there is precious little information available on their proper use, and this program will give you a strong foundation for selecting and using the right machine and tooling for your application.
