Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Anticlastic work stands or falls on support, and this stake supplies it: two sinusoidal ends carry sheet metal through hammer-formed wave curves without the buckling you get working unsupported. Jewellery and sculptural pieces with complex wave-form profiles can be worked in stages along the profile until the shape comes true.

It is solid steel throughout, with a substantial central block that seats firmly in a bench vice. Both working ends are polished to a high finish so nothing transfers to precious or non-ferrous metal, and the smooth, rounded terminals will not snag or mar a piece as it moves across the tool.

  • Solid steel construction with two distinct sinusoidal forming ends.
  • Highly polished working surfaces to prevent marking precious or non-ferrous metals.
  • Substantial central block provides a stable mounting point in a bench vice.
  • Shaped to provide correct support when forming anticlastic and sinusoidal curves.
  • Smooth, rounded terminals on each end to avoid snagging or marring workpieces.

Who it's for

An essential forming stake for professional silversmiths, bench jewellers, and metal artists in the UK. It is specifically designed for those undertaking anticlastic raising or creating jewellery and sculptures with complex wave-form profiles.

Brian M. ★★★★★

I was worried about metal buckling on my last project, but this stake's double-ended sinusoidal shape held the sheet perfectly through every hammer pass. The polished finish let the metal glide without any snagging.

Matthew ★★★★★

The polished surface is so smooth that the metal glides instead of catching, and the sinusoidal ends give just the right support for hammering those wave curves without any buckling. I can finally work on anticlastic pieces for more than a few minutes without the whole thing twisting on me.

Ruby E. ★★★★★

I’ve been fighting with unsupported sheet metal for months, and the dual sinusoidal ends on this stake finally eliminated all that buckling. The weight and polished surface keep my hammer work precise and clean.
