The JEM 605 Otto Frei Forging and Forming Advanced Jewelry Tool Kit brings together an essential collection of professional-grade tools for silversmiths, metalsmiths, and advanced jewelry students focused on forging, raising, planishing, and finishing metalwork. Every item in this kit is hand-selected to support the full forging and forming workflow — from initial shaping on a sandbag to precision filing, surface refinement, and final protective finishing.
At the core of the kit are four Value Line silversmiths hammers covering embossing, planishing, and two raising profiles, giving you the range needed to move and shape metal with control. A nylon jumbo dapping mallet rounds out the striking tools for non-marring work. Two Glardon-Vallorbe LP-series precision files — barrette and half-round — deliver Swiss-quality filing performance for tight detail work, and the included Grobet Swiss Made Blue Plastic File Handles (Size 4, quantity of 2) keep your files properly mounted and safe to use. A leather square sandbag provides a firm, supportive forming surface, while Renaissance Micro-Crystalline Wax Polish and Ottoflux Paste Flux complete the kit with trusted finishing and soldering consumables.
