A forging method comprising: an operation of ascending and descending an upper die of a press repeatedly, wherein the press includes the upper and lower dies (11; 12) sequentially having a punching unit, a cutting and pressing and fixing assembly, and a pressing and shaping unit arranged from one side of the press to an opposite side of the press; a workpiece fixing hole shaping operation in which each time the upper die is raised, a tray plate is supplied by one pitch from said one side of the press towards said opposite side of the press along a rear end of the lower die, and above said lower die so as to be spaced apart from a top face of the lower die in such a manner that the tray plate can ascend and descend, and at the same time, a workpiece fixing hole is continuously punctured in the tray plate via the punching unit; a workpiece plate supply operation in which each time the upper die is raised, a workpiece plate is supplied from a front of the press by one pitch to a position below the workpiece fixing hole of the tray plate located on the cutting and pressing and fixing assembly, said workpiece plate being provided on the top of its upstream end with a through-protrusion intended to pass through the workpiece fixing hole and in the same time another through-protrusion is formed on a top of a following upstream end portion of the workpiece plate corresponding to the supplied one pitch; a workpiece fixing operation in which the workpiece plate supplied into the position below the workpiece fixing hole located on the cutting and pressing and fixing assembly is cut by one pitch; and, in which the through-protrusion formed on the cut workpiece passes through the workpiece fixing hole and is compressed and fixed into the workpiece fixing hole; and a workpiece shaping operation in which the workpiece, after having been cut from the workpiece plate and fixed to the tray plate as well as having been moved one pitch by tray plate is compression-shaped by the pressing and shaping unit. an operation of ascending and descending an upper die of a press repeatedly, wherein the press includes the upper and lower dies (11; 12) sequentially having a punching unit, a cutting and pressing and fixing assembly, and a pressing and shaping unit arranged from one side of the press to an opposite side of the press; a workpiece fixing hole shaping operation in which each time the upper die is raised, a tray plate is supplied by one pitch from said one side of the press towards said opposite side of the press along a rear end of the lower die, and above said lower die so as to be spaced apart from a top face of the lower die in such a manner that the tray plate can ascend and descend, and at the same time, a workpiece fixing hole is continuously punctured in the tray plate via the punching unit; a workpiece plate supply operation in which each time the upper die is raised, a workpiece plate is supplied from a front of the press by one pitch to a position below the workpiece fixing hole of the tray plate located on the cutting and pressing and fixing assembly, said workpiece plate being provided on the top of its upstream end with a through-protrusion intended to pass through the workpiece fixing hole and in the same time another through-protrusion is formed on a top of a following upstream end portion of the workpiece plate corresponding to the supplied one pitch; a workpiece fixing operation in which the workpiece plate supplied into the position below the workpiece fixing hole located on the cutting and pressing and fixing assembly is cut by one pitch; and, in which the through-protrusion formed on the cut workpiece passes through the workpiece fixing hole and is compressed and fixed into the workpiece fixing hole; and a workpiece shaping operation in which the workpiece, after having been cut from the workpiece plate and fixed to the tray plate as well as having been moved one pitch by tray plate is compression-shaped by the pressing and shaping unit.
