Recently I`ve been trying to locate an electric hand held planishing/forming hammer. I`d like to be able to take the hammer over the sheet,and not the sheet to the planishing stand.It seems to be a good tool to surface finish big works,and would serve the purpose of work hardening the copper sheet too. Have any of you used such tool? All I`ve seen advertised are pneumatic planishing hammers with stands.I`m a little concern about the extra noise of pneumatic tools. Any alternative other than hand hammering? I had to do a task that involved moving the forarm as in a hammering motion.Did it for hours nonstop,for two days,and I can hardly lift the hammer now. Tennis elbow? I don`t know,but I do know I gotta go to the doc.Thanks for input on planishing hammer issue. Nelson.
