Description

The Fretz Set 103 is a comprehensive bracelet-forming set designed for making flat, concave, and convex cuff and bangle bracelets. Built around the M-100 Series Mushroom Stakes and the extended-reach H-1L Long Holder, this set keeps your work clear of the bench surface while you hammer and formβ€”a practical advantage over the original H-1 Holder. The H-1L is an ideal choice for jewelers who need added clearance without the full reach of the T-101 Holder.

The concave stakes (M-104 through M-107, M-122, and M-123) are suited for sinking round sheet metal, tubes, and flat sheet into concave shapes with diameters of two inches and up. The convex stakes (M-111 through M-114) are designed for forming convex shapes and raising cylinders by compressing the edgeβ€”and are equally useful for doming various forms. The M-117 and M-118 Flat Cuff Stakes form and texture round flat bracelets, and can also be used to create concave cylinder shapes by tilting and rotating the work during hammering.

Features

  • Extended-reach H-1L Long Holder keeps workpieces elevated above the bench surface during forming
  • Four concave stakes in graduated sizes for forming concave shapes in sheet and tube stock
  • Two additional shallow and minimal concave profile stakes for subtle concave work
  • Four convex cuff stakes (10 mm – 40 mm) for raising and doming convex bracelet forms
  • Two flat cuff stakes for forming and texturing round flat bracelets
  • Wooden stake rack included for organized storage of all stakes
  • Includes two Fretz Productions instructional DVDs covering both convex and concave techniques

A considered purchase, but I'm not looking back.

This was a greatly considered purchase and a fair chunk of my tool budget for making one type of item (bangles), so I was petty nervous when ordering it. I've had this set for a week, tried every stake and made 23 bangles in total. If you watch the Bill Fretz DVD's first you can get a good idea of how it all works. I love the way that all of the stakes are pretty much interchangeable giving a very large range of possibilities (even if some are mistakes as I forgot which stake I was using the day before). I did find that they can bind in the holder a little, but a slight smear of oil first does the trick. I'm just really hoping I sell enough bangles soon to be able to justify the expense and afford to add to the collection and possibilities. All in all, a nicely put together selection that works well.
