Slight ovalness that extends to the periphery IIRC. I haven't used one or did body work in years. Some of the bodywork tools have proven to be very useful shop tools such as a sanding grip that takes a half sheet of sandpaper, and a slide hammer. Had a lead scraper/rasp back in the fifties but never did any work with lead.

Second row, third from the left, is the kind of planishing hammer I had.

Do you mean they have an ovalness to the periphery or do you mean they have a slight crown? I actually used a slapping spoon most of the time especially on the front fenders as it fit better between the fender and the headlight buckets.

Thanks. No that's not a Planishing hammer- sounds like a shrinking hammer. Any auto body hammer with a smooth head can be used to planish. Some body hammers are called Planishing but I'm not sure why.

So as ya'll know, a friend in DC helped me replace my 240D timing chain this past weekend. In exchange, I helped him with some bodywork on his pagoda. Check it out here:

Looks very nice.

Is the planishing hammer the one with the grooves radiating out from the center?
