Dixon Grobet metalsmith silversmith #12 T Stake anvil SOLD

The Dixon #12 is the most versatile stake because it is a mini anvil with two tapering horns – the center portion is flat, one horn with a flat top and one horn nearly round tapering from about 1″ down to 3/8″ which works great for rings, earrings and bracelets. The #12 is barn fresh. It is used and shows signs of use. I have not cleaned nor have I dressed it since unpacking and it is not finished to a polish. This unpolished style is preferred by some smiths as the stake surface does not allow the work piece to move when struck while rough forming. You are free to clean, dress and polish for your style. This is sold “as is”. The #12 can be installed in a nice tree stump if you do not have a large vise or anvil or it can be fitted in the #88 stakeholder I have for sale on another post.

Dixon Grobet metalsmith silversmith T stake cowtongue for sale (#8#9 sold)

#’s 8 and 9 sold – less than half price!  Buy one or both. USPS Priority shipping insured with delivery confirmation in continental US is included in the price.

These are the so-called cowtongue T stakes. #8 is swept up at the tongue end and has a flat anvil surface with angled sides. The #9 has a curved top with radius sides and a small edge at the end – slight round inverted rocker (retail $314). The #8 is hard to find and is great because of the flat surface in addition to the tongue end – more shapes, angles and use with sheet. The #8 is barn fresh. I have not cleaned nor have I dressed it since unpacking and it is not finished to a polish. This unpolished style is preferred by some smiths as the stake surface does not allow the work piece to move when struck while rough forming. You are free to clean, dress and polish for your style. They are sold “as is”. Either of these can be installed in a nice tree stump if you do not have a large vise or anvil or they can be fitted in the #88 stakeholder I have for sale on another post.

Melting down 3 lbs of inventory…

The other day I looked at new sketches and drawings of designs I’ve made and began to draft a Gantt chart to begin work. While setting up a small casting in delft clay I looked at the trays full of old inventory from festival shows going back to 1993. I became underwhelmed.

The original plan was to sort, finish, polish, re-work, etc over three pounds of bracelets, rings, earrings, belt buckles, work-in-progress to jump-start a web storefront. The problem with the plan is it’s a continuation of the old work I didn’t like and the inventory in its present form represents a psychological ball and chain. So, why mess with it at all? Except, maybe, to melt it down(link to short youtube video).

The deep pitting on my ingots is from using charcoal briquettes ground through a cheese grater for ingot mold release/flux sprinkles before/after pour.

Chasing repousse silversmith tools 20 pieces with oak base set 2 Barn Fresh undressed SOLD

For sale – Set of tools/punches used for repousee or chasing work on metal

This set is comparable to other 20 piece sets offered by many jewelry supply outlets (RG $160, C $159, OF $187.95, etc). I purchased this marked set from US Army-Ft. Sill, OK when they closed the art center on base in the mid 90’s.  This set was pulled from my warehouse after being stored for more than 10 years and is in “Barn Fresh” condition. The set is NOT cleaned and polished and has a haze of surface oxidation. I would bet you a dollar these have never been hit with a hammer. The ends have the band saw kerf marks from the time they were cut from stock. See for yourself (typical image above).

A perfect opportunity to dress/alter tools to your particular style and needs and save money. Images are of this set offered for sale and are not stock images. Included is an oak base.

$75 for one 20 piece set chasing tools with oak base.
