A close up of my engineering ball pein hammer, that has been polished to act as a planishing hammer.
I use this hammer for working on copper, brass or aluminium sheet , the high polish ensures that the surface finish is not affected too much.
The polishing is not difficult, just slow :-) use different grades of emery cloth getting finer and finer till the finish is good enough to polish on the power polisher.
The harder the metal, the better and shinier the final polish will be.
