He doesn't use thumbs. He uses his paws, and melts the metal with special paw-gloves (his latest invention XD). They prevented him from getting burned as he sculpted the metal carefully to make an armor. He tested the finished product on his workers, and if it didn't fit, he'd heat it up again and keep going.

He is very strange like that XD
