    5 Forming Hammers exclusively designed by Bill Fretz - Value $250 

    The Fretz Hammers are small versions of full size silversmithing
    hammers. This size makes them useful for jewelry and small
    metalsmithing forming projects. The Plannishing Hammer head is 72.5mm
    long. The hammers are 420 hardened stainless steel with rosewood
    handles. 

    Bill Fretz is a unique goldsmith, who is not only a master at
    fabrication in making beautiful jewelry, but also a creative and
    talented jewelry tool designer. 

    Four years ago, he took the jewelry industry by storm, creating
    miniature raising stakes for making small scale vessels and rings.
    But William Fretz didn't just stop there, he also made a set of
    beautiful high quality hammers which are stunning, easy to hold and
    ergonomically comfortable. He is offering a set of these beautiful
    hammers as a prize for the Ganoksin Raffle. 

    The winner will have a chance to hold and use these amazing hammers
    for any of their raising or fabrication needs. 

    Ganoksin thanks William Fretz for his kind donation.
