Artist Blacksmiths sometimes require a tool that will allow metal to be formed in ways that an anvil or traditional industrial swage block will not allow and a special "artists' block" is required.
The bottom swage is designed for flexibility. In addition, individual blocks may contain unique features of specific use or relevance to a particular smith or branch of the blacksmiths craft.
Swages are used by many crafts and may be used with a top swage or setting hammer or a ball pien hammer to bend, draw and tenon materials. Free forming is easy with swages!
