The operation of embossing sheet metal, or of forming it into cup-shaped or hollow articles, by hammering, stamping, or spinning.
The art of compressing the metal to form the desired shape. Raised work is done from the outside, over stakes, rather than from the inside. Raised pieces are very easy to keep symmetrical, have a strength not common to domed, dished and welded pieces, and are far more difficult to create. See books on silversmithing for the best instruction (but you'll need to anneal the metal differently and use much heavier hammers).
Technique of making metal hollow-ware. A flat disc of metal is hammered over an anvil-like stake to gradually raise the sides to the required shape and depth.
Making a cup or container shape from a metal sheet by hammering it into shape over a wooden block.
Process of hammering flat sheet and slowly forming the raised up shape.
The technique of forming a flat sheet of metal over a cast iron T-stake or head, forming and compressing the metal to take a hollow form. This labor-intensive process is the purest form of silversmithing.
Raising is a metalworking technique whereby a sheet of metal is formed into a bowl or other hollow object by repeated sequences of hammering and annealing of the metal, thereby stretching it into the desired shape. This technique was used in creating medieval armour, and is also used to create fine silverware.
