Fretz Is A Real Tool!

Dharma Pendant - Copper and Jasper

Well, you have to like Fretz Metalsmith Hammers, one of the most versatile tools in the shop in my opinion.    From the start of this piece I envisioned the bale curve outward, aka concave, how to achieve this?  Get the Fretz and shape to my hearts content.  

Voila! This is the top of the bale where all the Fretz work was done on this piece.

Another pendant in which the Fretz forming stakes were used.
