What is the forging process?

Forging is the working of metal into a useful shape by using localized compressive forces. These forces are applied through various tools such as hammers or presses. This process is integral to producing high-strength components for various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and construction.

Most forging operations are carried out hot, although certain metals may be cold forged. Two major classes of equipment are used for forging operations: the forging hammer, or drop hammer, which delivers rapid impact blows to the surface of the metal, and the forging press, which subjects the metal to a slow speed compressive force.

I was bored at work today so in between customers I got a fork and a pair of pliers and set about using the latter to turn the former into a bracelet. So far I’m like 80% of the way there except the … bowl of the fork? The wide part? Just will not allow itself to be bent. I suspect I need something to act as an anvil, or possibly something to apply heat. Or both? Advice from veteran forksmiths would be appreciated.

I may end up bending two spoons and interlocking them to form one bracelet, because the single spoon is too short to go all the way around my wrist. But first I need to figure out the bending-the-flat-part problem.

Image ID: a fork rests on a wooden table. Its tines have been bent into curlicues and the handle of the fork has been bent into a half circle. The widest part of the fork is towards the camera, stubbornly unbending. End image ID.

Frigid Steel, Boiling Wraith

Thinking about how pale ore is eerily chill to the touch

about how PV's spells, likely learnt from its father, take on the same shape as nails made out of an ore allegedly related to its parents

about how those spells are pretty much a solid state of soul for a few moments about how solid state of matter is often the most "cold" state, generally speaking

about how cold it's often associated with lack of emotion and corpses

Also thinking about how the knight's spells, learned from the snails, is more raw, more volatile

stated and shown to literally burn opponents, more of a hot blast than a proper solid mass

shaped and named after haunting ghosts, spectres that do not lay to rest, despite soul itself being present in the whole environment and not necesarily directly linked to sentient beings

about how it is strong emotions what fuels their transformation into their more powerful state through the usage of void, a volatile yet maleable substance, and the opposite of light

Late night tender moments - Secondo Emeritus:

The warm feeling of his kitchen, as he prepares a meal. The smell of the boiling pasta, simmering tomato sauce, and spices fill the air. Banter and little quips come and go between the two of you, as he guides you through his cooking process. As he puts the finishing touches on the two dishes, you sit on the countertop while your eyes take him in. You have never loved him as much as you did right in this moment.

A warm kiss exchanged in the garden late at night. Nature is quiet, and the ministry is asleep. The only sound you hear now is his voice, his breath. He firmly yet gently holds your waist, before tenderly placing a kiss on your lips. As you process the heat that now comes alive within you; the cool, calm wind of the night envelopes you. A contradiction that only happens in his presence.

The soft sound of the running sink awakens you, before you are welcomed by his scent. The silky bed sheets felt nice against your figure, but someone was missing. You sluggishly get off the bed, dragging your feet as you approached his restroom. You find him shaving his stubble, carefully grooming himself before he shoots a glance in your direction. Then a smile. Memories of your shared intimacy come flooding in. In the reflection of his mirror, you faintly see the marks on your neck that he left last night.

A flickering candlelight dances around in his room late at night, while he reads a book. You turn around in an attempt to conceal sleep, but give up as you look at him. "È tardi, piccolina" he adds distractedly, while he turns the page. "You are one to talk". He lets out a soft, rumbling chuckle at your little observation, before holding you closer to him. "Cattiva, cattiva..." His voice soothes you. His embrace ends up doing the trick, and you quickly fall asleep in his arms.

A slow dance shared in the privacy of his chambers. His piercing eyes adoringly look into yours, while you softly sway from side to side to the rhythm of the music that comes from his record player. You smile brightly, your eyes never leaving his. Not many words are exchanged, only glances that reveal shared longing. You rest your head against his chest, and as he continues guiding you through his dance, your senses focus on his heartbeat. You feel your body relax and all tensions dissipate, carried away by his touch.
