Lessen the Noise - Save Your Eardrums

by Judy Larson
I'm 67 and I'm acutely aware of how loud noise can and has, over the years, affected my hearing. So it's very important that when I'm working, I dampen the noise factor.
Instructions
Using a hammer to texture metal on a metal bench block can be quite loud. If you are concerned about this, use a rubber block, a sand bag or a stack of magazines under your bench block to help deaden the sound from your hammer blows.
This is an extremely handy tool for filing, hammering, and other uses. This rubber block is made of a tough, firm, vulcanized rubber to give the user an excellent surface. It enables one to remove dents and straighten metals without the fear of scratching or distorting, and can be used wet or dry without chance of slipping.
Or get an all-in-one bench block that comes with its own rubber rim/block:

Great for stamping, chasing and forming these 5″ Round Leather Sandbags can be used with or without a bench block. The leather is slip resistant and helps deaden the blow and sound when striking a piece.
