The 'forge armor' skill allows metal ingots to be made into pieces of
wearable armor at forges.

Only certain metals and alloys can be made into armor. Soft metals such
as lead, tin or gold make poor armor. More difficult to work metals like
adamantine will yield a higher ac than softer metals such as brass.

Forged armors are tougher than leather, but are costly to produce and
have less room for improvement and upgrades.  They also tend to be much
heavier.

Unlike most other kinds of armor, forged armor is assembled from smaller
components such as lames, sheets, rondels and links. The 'forge assemble list
armor' command will list the kinds of armor you know how to assemble.
