Fretz 100 Series Master Set with Bench/Stump Mounted Stake Holder

Forming a bracelet, a cuff or a small holloware shape means working the metal over a stake with the right curve, held solidly at the bench. The Fretz 100 Series Master Set is the most comprehensive collection of Fretz 100 Series stakes available, assembled so jewelers, metalsmiths and holloware artists can work with them exactly as designer Bill Fretz intended.

The set is built around the H-101 bench or stump mounted stake holder, which unlocks the full forming potential of the 100 Series system for bracelets, rings, cuffs and small sculpture. Central to the set is the T-101 double ended holder, which reaches deeper than the standard H-1L holder alone and lets you form very large jewelry pieces and small holloware with greater control. The E-101 extended holder and E-100 extractor wedge add the extra length needed to mount the M-100 Mushroom stakes in the raised position, and large T stakes are included for heavier metal on larger projects. Two Fretz instructional DVDs, one on convex technique and one on concave, come with the set.
