Heating steel to a "forging heat" allows bending as if was hard plasticine: it takes significant but not Herculean effort. Bending can be done with the hammer over the horn or edge of the anvil or by inserting the work into one of the holes in the top of the anvil and swinging the free end to one side. Bends can be dressed and tightened or widened by hammering them over the appropriately-shaped part of the anvil.
