@HaylinOka Hi, You can use nearly any kind of steel hammer. Just be sure it has a nice smooth and polished face on it. It would be best if the face was slightly rounded and not completely flat. Ball been hammers work great too, there again a nicely polished face is recommended. Hope this helps.

Is there any other type of hammer that can be used? I really want to try this, but I don't have the right hammer.
