What is the silver block you hammer on? Is that necessary? I tried hammering on wood and it just bent my metal. I don’t understand. I want that beautiful hammered look in silver with little dents all over it.

"When you are adding texture to a material like silver with hammers or stamps then it helps to place that silver on a surface that is harder than the silver such as a steel block. there are lots of steel blocks at different price points and quality."

There are also anvils on a benchpeg that will do the job:

You can also use a rubber block under a steel block to absorb some of the shock
