DIY Coffee Scoop Project
DIY Coffee Scoop Project


Make your own hammered coffee scoop using our scoop kit, swage block and ball die. This little bundle of tooling with the scoop kit will get you hooked - these are super fun to work on.
This bundle includes:
2.5" scoop plate - your choice of copper, brass or stainless steel
Stainless steel scoop handle
Copper rivets (2)
2" Ball Die
Swage Block
The swage blocks are all forge-pressed by Brian, Dave, and Steve right here in our Southwest Florida shop. Every block is hot-stamped with the HM signature skull.
Our swages will vary slightly - they are individually handcrafted by us, so no two are 100% alike. Each 3.5" to 3.75" square swage block is made from A36 mild steel and weighs about 3.75lbs.
Each 2" Ball Die is fabricated here using a 2" AISI 52100 chrome steel ball bearing and a 3.6" round of .25" A36 mild steel.
