Start the crafting process by placing a heated iron ingot on the anvil - bronze or higher anvil tier is needed. Select the anvil base and start hammering. Note that for the base, a total of 5 ingots need to be added, and there is only a 2 pixel margin for error in total. It is recommended to add one ingot, flatten it out and only then add the next - and so forth. This process might be easier when starting with one iron plate as the base, and then adding 3 more ingots as described previously. <br>

For the anvil top, follow the same process. However, keep in mind that for the top part, even with careful smithing, not even one pixel will be wasted. This means there is no margin for error, and any wasted pixels will result in a sixth ingot added to finish the item. As the top part is rather slim, a plate is not helpful as the smithing base.<br>

{{Protip
|The recipe has an upper height limit of pixels, which means adding too many ingots too fast without first distributing previously placed pixels might effectively delete pixels altogether! Make sure to add the next ingot only after distributing the pixels from the last one.

After both the base and top are finished, heat both of them up in a forge. Once heated, first place the base part down on the ground. Take one portion of powdered borax and apply with a {{SneakClick}} on the placed base, then add the top part. Hammer until both parts are welded together, this should take about 12 hits.
