PRESSING / RUBBING HAMMER

Product Information

Pressing, rubbing, and hammer are three different methodologies often employed in various sectors across industries, such as arts, crafts, manufacturing, and more. Each possesses unique characteristics and produces different results.

Pressing is a useful technique commonly used in the manufacturing, metalworking, and garment industries. This technique utilises a press machine that applies pressure on a workpiece or material to alter its shape, cut, or form it into a specific design. For instance, in garment creation, pressing is used to smooth out and shape fabric, making it appear more polished and refined. Pressing can bring in a professional look to clothing and also enhance its quality. Similarly, in the metalworking industry, a pressing machine is vital for moulding metal parts into desired shapes with high precision. Beyond these industries, pressing also finds its place in printmaking and other arts and crafts.

Rubbing is another technique with diverse applications. It refers to the action of applying pressure and moving one object against another. For example, rubbing a piece of cloth against a surface to clean it, or an artist rubbing pastel chalks or pencils to create a texture or pattern on paper. The rubbing technique can also be employed in relief art and gravestone rubbings, where a paper is pressed over a carved or raised surface and then rubbed with a graphite stick or another medium to reveal its design.

The hammer method is traditionally connected with professions such as blacksmiths and carpenters, where a hammer is used to deliver impacts that shape and form materials, predominantly metals and wood. Nowadays, this technique is frequently applied in areas of jewellery-making and metalworking, where precision and detail are paramount. A hammer can be used to alter the shape of a piece of metal, control its thickness, or even engrave intricate designs. This process can result in unique and personalised pieces, showcasing one's craftsmanship. Different types of hammers have been developed for varied uses, such as claw hammers, mallets, ball-peen hammers, and sledgehammers, to name a few. Beyond the traditional usage, the hammer principle is also employed in impact printing and musical instruments like pianos and xylophones, where small hammers strike against strings or bars to produce sound.
