Hammering wire

This weekend I was hammering my handmade findings including S clasps and wrapped loops for pendants.I used an old flat iron I have as an ornament instead of an anvil,it worked well apart from the handle getting in the way. Today I got a post of a link for a good hammering/wire tutorial which is worth keeping for next time
