Tools
As a silversmith it becomes more and more difficult to find the tool you want to work with so I have made a few I like for metal forming. No claim to be the best or better than the rest just good quality tools that taken care of will last.
- Sinusoidal stake tool: This stake is made from a “Gray” drift pin, bent around a jig I have made with off center pins so there are not quite elongated 1/2 radius, it gives an infinite variable in radius through the range on the stake. $150.00 not polished ready for finishing.. Overall length 16 inches, diameter tapered 3/4 to 1/4 approximately
