Metal Forming Stakes
Pieh Legacy Collection
Premium-quality forming and rasing stakes are designed for
blacksmiths, sheet metal workers, coppersmiths, jewelers and
autobody workers. These stakes are gorgeous blemish-free
polished surfaces; stakes are forged and tempered for excellent
performance and longevity. They are carefully engineered to
reduce strain-the softer inner body absorbs impact through the
hardened surface. Our stakes are forged and hardened in the USA.
Snarling Irons
Snarling irons are used to reach interior spaces for forming or
repairing vessels. Mount the end with the 90-degree bend in a
vise, with the bent end pointed down so the polished working
end is pointed up. You Then place your working piece, such as
a vessel like a bowl or a pot, over the hard to reach area you
wish to work on. Strike the snarling iron, with a hammer or a
tool, a few inches away from the vise, and the polished working
end will move up in response.

SWAGE BLOCKS
A swage (or swedge) block is a large, heavy block of cast iron
or steel used in smithing with various sized shapes in its face
and forms on the sides. Operations performed on a swage block
include but are not limited to bending, cutting, punching and
forming with the use of a hammer. The primary feature for the
artist blacksmith is the bowl and semi spherical depressions.
The sides are usually scalloped with half rounds, 90 degree V
grooves and half hexes to present formed shapes for forging
operations. You can use the sides to forge gun barrels, or to
make the curve on a wheel or finish a wheel rim. Other shapes,
such as the half hexagon, can be used with a matching fuller
(die) to form a hexagonal cross-section on a bar.
