  A flat metal shaper is a craftable item in the Forging society under the Blacksmithing crafting discipline.  This is considered to be a basic piece to make, though knowledge of the Proficient Engineering Design technique will be beneficial to the crafter.
  This crafting tool derives its potency from the material's hardness and weight (harder is better, lower is better).
  This item is listed as a "finished metal engineering tool" ingredient type and is created using a forging hammer, some tongs, some metalworking oil and a metal anvil with forge.  A crafter may also find it helpful to have a shovel and a bellows on hand.
