Shape flat precious metal blanks into sculptural convex curves, hollow shells, and anticlastic contours with the authentic Fretz® Forming Stake Set (SET-5). Engineered specifically for goldsmiths, silversmiths, and fine jewelry artisans, this jewelry-scale staking system adapts traditional silversmithing anvil profiles down to a precise scale suited for rings, cuffs, pendants, and miniature hollowware.
Featuring seven distinct mirror-polished forming stakes (F-1, F-2, F-3, F-6, F-7, F-8, and F-9), SET-5 gives metalsmiths complete control over both convex raising and concave fluting operations. Each stake seats securely into the Fretz H-1 Stake Holder, which can be bolted directly onto a workbench or mounted onto the included VB-1 Wooden Vise Block for rigid clamping in a bench vise. Organized in the S-1 Wooden Stake Rack (8-3/4” × 5”) alongside mounting bolts, washers, nuts, and a hex wrench, this complete benchtop station protects polished working surfaces while streamlining multi-stage sheet metal forming.
