For silversmiths and jewellers shaping complex curves in sheet metal. This heavy-duty, double-ended forming stake provides both synclastic and anticlastic profiles for raising holloware and forming sculptural pieces without marking the surface of your work.

Key features

  • Double-ended design features both synclastic (concave) and anticlastic (convex) profiles.
  • Highly polished working surfaces contact precious metals cleanly, preventing tool marks.
  • Machined from hardened steel for durability and resistance to deformation under the hammer.
  • Central hexagonal block ensures a secure, non-slip mount in a vice or stake holder.
  • The No. 2 profile provides a specific series of graduated curves for detailed forming work.

Who it's for

A core tool for UK silversmiths, jewellery makers, and metal artists engaged in raising, forming holloware, or sculptural work. Also suitable for apprentices and students building a comprehensive set of bench stakes for their workshop.
