    TIL that finishing a shaped metal sheet by pounding it on a pedestal is called “planishing” and said pedestal is called a “planishing stake.” I’ve seen it done I just never thought to ask what it was called, I guess.

      Yeah, this is how shields and armor were made, as planishing doesn’t thin out the metal so much.
