Fretz Progressive Stake Set

Use Progressive Stakes to Produce Undulating Metal Waves

Bill Fretz introduces this new set of forming stakes with progressively sharper angles. With them you can make fluted designs. This set contains Fretz stakes F-2A, F-2B and F-2C. These stakes are only available in a set and are not sold individually. They all have the same basic profile as the Fretz F-2 Forming stake (Otto Frei part number 112.638), but they are different in that they have a raised edge down the center line becoming progressively sharper from stake to stake.

Bill has published a 5 page article in the April 2011 edition of Lapidary Journal/Jewelry Artist on how to make a fluted bangle bracelet using the Progressive Stake Set and other Fretz tools.
