מכה בפטיש / Makeh B'Patish

מַכֶּה בְּפַּטִישׁ

"The Hammer Blow"

After much use the hammer's surface needed to be straightened. So they would hit it against the anvil. And that was מַכֶּה בְּפַּטִישׁ.

Straightening the Hammer

They would hammer out vessels from metals. The last blow that straightened the last part was the מַכֶּה בְּפַּטִישׁ.

Forming Vessels

The קרשים were overlaid with a thin casing of gold that was nailed into the קרש. The final hammer blow of a golden nail to connect the cover to the plank was the מַכֶּה בְּפַּטִישׁ.
