And that's why they don't get jokes about someone's socks or pants staying upright when taken off.

Sure, but you then have to productively work with it at those temperatures. The required machinery has lot of applications, enough that you're probably TL 6 by the time you get it working.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "get your rocks off".

Look, sir! Look, sir! A dwarf called Knox, sir!
Knox in rock socks. Knox rocks in rock socks. Knox with holes in rock socks. Knox with holes in rock socks sucks.

Yes. This. I have turned my tongue to mush so many times in the last nine years.

Ayup. Which is why I specified Steampunkish, which gets around such mundane TL considerations. If it could have been done real-world it probably would have been even if just experiments. But if you strain the existing technology at the time, as a few genres do a lot, you can do it. But it'll be an experimental and/or inefficient process used for a character's gear or as a McGuffin. But a fantasy setting with either or both of Heat and Shape Stone plus Microscopic Vision and Shape Metal, it's not too hard to do. Although it probably won't be general issue.
