🔧 What it does & how to use
This is a graduated set of hardwood dapping (doming) punches, used by jewellers, silversmiths and hobbyist metalworkers to form smooth, rounded domes in thin sheet metal such as silver, copper or brass. Each punch is 90mm long with a shaped ball head; the set covers a wide range of head sizes from 11mm through to 25mm, so you can work up gradually from a shallow dome to a deeper, rounder one.
To use, place a disc or piece of sheet metal over a matching cavity in a doming block (steel or wood), select the punch with the closest-sized ball head, and strike it with a mallet or hammer to press the metal down into the cavity. Working through the graduated sizes in stages, from larger to smaller punches, helps you form an even dome without stretching or splitting the metal. The hardwood construction makes these punches gentler on soft or delicate metals than steel punches, reducing the risk of surface marks, and they're a practical starting set for anyone making domed jewellery components, buttons, or decorative metal pieces.
