Hi, wanting to make discs out of sheet metal e.g. copper/brass. Have purchased a disc cutter from Cousins and waiting for it to arrive. I knew I would need a brass hammer so purchased one of the cheapest 2lb hammers I could find from Proops's Ebay shop:

ebay.co.uk/p/2lb-Pound-Brass-Plated-Mallet-Hammer-Jewellery-Making-Dapping-J2058/2260881146?iid=292265460780

However, I notice it is plate rather than solid brass...if I'm going to be whacking 1mm thick discs out using this, I'm guessing this won't last as long as a solid brass hammer. Or does it matter? If so I'll return said hammer and get something else!

Thanks

Dan
