I use a small, flat faced hammer called a "chasing" hammer, which I got 
from Micro Mark.  I place the cover up against a wooden ledge and start 
tapping the cover edge down, then lay it down flat to finish the job.  
I use a rounded hammer for more complex shaped covers, like Special 20s 
and Golden Melodies.
