Fullers-The fuller is a forging tool, used to spread the metal. The fuller is placed against the metal stock, and then either the fuller (for an upper fuller) or the stock (for a lower fuller) is struck with a hammer. The rounded nose of the fuller spreads the metal more efficiently than the flat face of the hammer.
Swages-Swaging is a forging process in which the dimensions of an item are altered using dies into which the item is forced. Swaging is usually a cold working process, but also may be hot worked.

Setting Down and Finishing- Even after a job is forged into shape with a hammer the marks of the hammer remains on the upper surface of the job. For removing the hammer and corrugation marks and for obtaining a smooth surface on the job, a flatter or set of hammer is used. This process is known as flatting or setting down.
