Forging out some plate....
In primitive times plate was made by forging out a melted plate. I gave it a try....I cuttlefish cast a square of 29mm X 35mm. I thought it would be a long process, it took 28minutes to forge it down from 2.2mm to .6mm (the thickness i most often work with) and stretched to 54mm X 63mm. The result of it was a textured plate, rather happy with that. Cold most definately use this process- and it would result in a seriously strong right arm :)
