How to Prevent Scratches on a Steel Bench Block?

by Dianne Haselfeld.

I use a steel bench block just like everyone else – to pound on metal with a hammer.

When I do this the steel gets scratched.

I keep reading instructions about not using a block that is marred because the scratches, etc will transfer to what you are working on.

How can you use a steel block and not scratch it?
