Ten miniature stakes covering convex, concave, flat and shell profiles — a full forming vocabulary scaled down for small work. Where a full-size stake would swamp a small component, these let you raise, sink and true up curves that would otherwise have to be shaped unsupported.

Each stake is solid steel, rigid under the hammer, with highly polished working surfaces that keep marks off the piece. The compact size suits workshops where bench space is rationed, and the breadth of profiles makes the set a sensible buy for silversmithing students building a first forming kit.

  • Ten distinct miniature stakes provide a complete range of forming profiles.
  • Working surfaces are highly polished steel to minimise marking on your workpiece.
  • Profiles include a variety of convex, concave, flat, and shell forms for intricate shaping.
  • Solid steel construction offers a rigid, unyielding surface for precise hammer work.
  • Compact size is suited to detailed jewellery work and workshops where space is at a premium.

Who it's for

An essential kit for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths specialising in small-scale or detailed pieces. Also ideal for students and apprentices on jewellery making and silversmithing courses who need their own comprehensive forming set.

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.
