Here is a tip for reducing the noise produced when you are hammering πββοΈππ» @the_darksister -βI use drawer liner under my steel bench block. It mutes the sound but the material doesnβt make your hammer bounce like some other cushioning out there like yoga mat.β Also shoutouts to all the people who gave me ear plug/muff recommendations, I havenβt bought any yet but will share when I do! I want to have more conversations about safety and protecting our ears is an important thing! β€οΈ tell me about your safety equipment! DM me images of your suggestions! ππ»#metalsmithsociety #jewelrymaking #jewelrymakingtipoftheday #hammering #benchjeweler
