To produce and refine the shapes required for finished products, the five basic forging processes are frequently combined. To make a cross-peen hammer head, for example, a smith would start with a bar roughly the diameter of the hammer face: the handle hole would be punched and drifted (widened by inserting or passing a larger tool through it), the head would be cut (punched, but with a wedge), the peen drawn to a wedge, and the face would be dressed by upsetting.

Because it is lengthened by drawing, it will tend to spread in width, just like a chisel. To check the spread and keep the metal at the correct width, a smith would frequently turn the chisel-to-be on its side and hammer it back down, upsetting it.
Alternatively, if a smith needed to make a 90-degree bend in a bar and wanted a sharp corner on the outside of the bend, they would start by hammering an unsupported end to make the curved bend. Then, to "fatten up" the bend's outside radius, one or both arms would need to be pushed back to fill the curve's outer radius. So they'd hammer the ends of the stock into the bend, 'upsetting' it at the bend's point. They would then dress the bend by drawing the bend's sides to maintain the proper thickness. The hammering would keep going—upsetting and then drawing—until the curve was properly shaped. The bend was the primary operation, but the drawing and upsetting are done to refine the shape.
