The forge has nothing to do with the metal being thinner do you even know how to forge steel? and yes that is a doust thou even hoist argument. The forge heats the metal, the blacksmith hammers it on the anvil, tempers it in the heat, then grinds it on the grindstone. While all of those effect the strength and properties of the metal the heat of the skyforge is what is really the main point. After the glory of the dead quest Eorlund even says the forge has burned hotter then hes ever seen before. http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2013/07/02/must-see-man-at-arms-blacksmith-makes-incredible-skyrim-orcish-battleaxe pay close attention to the smithing technique and how the old tools are replaced with the new ones but the method is still the same
