This hardened steel sinusoidal stake shapes complex curves for intricate jewellery and silversmithing projects.

What it does

This substantial forming stake creates flowing anticlastic and synclastic curves essential for bracelets, rings, and hollowware. Its precisely ground, highly polished surface minimises friction, allowing sheet metal to glide smoothly and reducing post-forming finishing. The sinusoidal wave tapers consistently, offering versatile shaping options. Constructed from solid, hardened steel, it withstands repeated hammer blows for lasting performance.

How to use it

  • Secure stake firmly in a bench vice or holder.
  • Gently tap sheet metal over the curve with a mallet.
  • Use rawhide or plastic mallets to protect the polished surface.

Who it's for

An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths. It replaces the need for multiple smaller stakes or complex raising techniques for curved forms. Suitable for professionals and serious hobbyists seeking precise control over anticlastic and synclastic shaping in gold, silver, and base metals.

Common questions at the bench

What weight hammer should I start with?
For most bench work, 4–8 oz is the sweet spot. Lighter hammers (2–4 oz) suit fine detail and chasing punches; 6–8 oz suits forging and texture work. Avoid anything over 12 oz unless you specifically need a raising hammer.
Can I use this on annealed silver and copper?
Yes — these hammers are designed for non-ferrous metals: silver (sterling, fine, britannia), copper, brass, bronze, and aluminium. The polished face will not transfer marks to clean annealed stock when used correctly. For mild steel work, use a separate hammer.
How should I care for it?
Wipe the face down after each session to prevent any tarnish from work residue marking your next piece. If the head develops nicks, polish them out with fine-grit emery and a buffing mop — a marked hammer face transfers marks to your work.
What is in the box?
One hammer with the head and handle fitted, ready for the bench. Polished faces are protected with a thin oil film — wipe before first use.
