Forming metal clay over a bare steel stake risks bruising soft, part-dried work; this stake takes the opposite approach. Nine interchangeable nylon tips in assorted shapes give a non-marring surface for shaping, doming and detailing — swap profiles as the piece develops, from broad curves to finer detail. If doming is new to you, our guide to forming domes and beads covers the fundamentals.

The stake sits on a stable wooden base that keeps it planted while both hands guide the work, and the included Allen key turns a tip change into a few seconds' pause rather than an interruption.

  • Wood-based forming stake for stable working
  • 9 interchangeable nylon tips in assorted shapes
  • Non-marring — ideal for metal clay and soft metals
  • Allen key included for quick tip changes
  • For forming, shaping and detailing at the bench

Lucy ★★★★★

My doming sessions used to leave faint marks on the clay, but these nylon tips glide over the surface without a single bruise. The wood base is solid and stable, and swapping out the nine shapes takes seconds.

Ryan J. ★★★★★

Swapping between the nine nylon tips is surprisingly quick, and the wood base gives this a satisfyingly solid feel on my workbench. The cushioning really does prevent those surface dents I used to fight with bare steel.

Zoe F. ★★★★★

Finally, a forming tool that won't leave dents in my soft metal clay. The nine nylon tips let me switch shapes mid-project without ever touching the steel.
