I really want to understand the mechanics of this!!! I wasn't sure how to successfully make a usable non-junk item haha. What I tried to do was heat it until it was yellow (but not "too hot!") and then hammer it, but it would become unusable when I tried hammer. Do I need to wait longer after taking it off the heat before I hammer it?

Thank you for your feed back. It's all about timing with the heat and hammering. Not letting it get too hot but hot enough and not over working the item with the hammer. Also, the items have hidden difficulties that require higher smith level to successfully create. I've been working on improvement for the game, I will update it in a few weeks.
