Forming Tiny Round Bezels on a Fretz Micro Stake

#affiliate This week’s #tooltalktuesday I’m showing off how I make super teeny, tiny round bezels with the amazing Fretz Micro Stake available as a kit (Part # 112.635) or in separate pieces available from our friends at @ottofrei1930 (also stay tuned for a new promo code for 2021 at the bottom of this lengthy caption :) I mounted this amazing steel stake holder right on to my bench top and I purchased the mini mandrels to go along with it. It provides me with that super stable surface to hammer my tiny bezels. This particular example is a bezel formed from 1mm x 1mm square wire so it definitely requires some forming to get it just right. This stake holder is also compatible with other micro stakes like the Fretz Super Mini Mushroom Forming Stakes (Part # 112.635A) Every Fretz tool I own is perfection, you can’t beat the quality and while this is a very specific tool it has become an essential for me for when I make those really small settings. Otto Frei has very kindly given our community a new promo code for this year to continue to save 5% AND each purchase supports the page. That code is MMSXF. Thank you so much for tuning in to this week’s #tooltalktuesday and please always feel free to let me know in the comments if you have questions or a tool to suggest for a future tool talk. I will try my very best to get back to you/add to my list!
