Forming Stake No 3, Double Ended 9 Inch — Polished Hardened Steel, Synclastic & Anticlastic

This substantial 9-inch forming stake, No. 3, is engineered for precise synclastic and anticlastic shaping in jewellery and holloware fabrication.

What it does

The double-ended, highly polished hardened steel form allows for controlled metal raising, creating both convex and concave curves without imparting unwanted marks. Its substantial weight and specific curvature facilitate the creation of complex domed and sculpted forms, essential for holloware and advanced jewellery pieces. The precisely machined surfaces ensure a clean transfer of shape to your metal.

How to use it

• Securely mount the hexagonal shank in a stake holder or vice.
• Hammer wire or sheet metal against the curved surfaces to form.
• Clean after use to maintain the polished finish.

Who it's for

This No. 3 stake is an indispensable tool for professional silversmiths and jewellery makers tackling intricate holloware and sculptural projects. It's ideal for those building a comprehensive stake set or requiring this specific profile for advanced raising techniques, complementing existing forming hammers.
