Iron Sheet Hammered Out from Bar

Before rolling mills, iron plate for cauldrons and griddles was hammered out of bar by hand. The bar is spread sideways with the hammer's peen, flattened with the face, then planished with a flatter until it is an even sheet two to three millimetres thick. The picture: a cauldron of riveted iron plates from Vendel, Uppland, Sweden (Swedish History Museum, SHM 7250:XI).

Spread it with the peen

Strike with the cross peen running along the bar, so the grooves push the metal out sideways. Flatten the ridges with the face. Turn it over and repeat. Reheat as soon as it dulls.

Work outward from the middle, peen then face, until the plate is about 3 mm. Fold nothing: a fold will not weld back flat.

With a helper on the sledge, set the flatter on the hot plate and planish the hammer marks out. Check it flat with a straight edge and the thickness with the caliper.
