Category: Jewellery Making Tools

One block, most of the profiles a bench needs. Lay wire or strip into the half-round, square, rectangular or V grooves and shape it directly with a hammer — the kind of forming that would otherwise mean owning and mounting several separate stakes.

It is milled from a single piece of steel, so it takes repeated hammer work without complaint, and the compact multi-sided shape sits flat and stable however you orient it. Suitable for gold, silver, copper and other non-ferrous metals, with machined grooves that keep every repeat consistent.

  • Combines half-round, rectangular, square, and V-groove profiles in one block.
  • Milled from a solid steel block to withstand repeated hammer work.
  • Compact, multi-sided design provides a stable base on the bench during use.
  • Machined grooves ensure consistent and repeatable shaping of wire and strip.
  • Suitable for forming gold, silver, copper, and other non-ferrous metals.

Who it's for

A core bench tool for UK jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths who need to quickly produce profiled wire and strip. Also useful for model makers and craftspeople working with non-ferrous metals.

Penelope ★★★★★

The grooves are machined precisely and hold the wire firmly while you hammer. It’s saved me so much time over trying to shape metal on a makeshift surface—this block just makes it feel right.

Eli A. ★★★★★

I've been struggling to get clean bends on silver wire without it twisting, but the rectangular groove in this block keeps the metal perfectly aligned. The half-round channel is great for shaping findings too. Really happy with how solid it feels on the bench.

Adam N. ★★★★★

The V-groove holds a 3mm wire perfectly steady, letting me hammer a crisp edge without it slipping. I’ve already formed a dozen jump rings and earring hooks right on this block. A solid investment for any bench jeweler.
