It puts into practice the preparation of materials: supports and preparation of pitch, which is used to fix the metal during processing along with tests for the realization of the chisel irons. The chisel irons, also used in the operations of embossing, are steel rods, square or round sections, with the head (the part in contact with the metal) of different shapes.
