eli5 How were such intricate items like suits or armour and castle decorations made in the medieval era when they lacked advanced metal processing and precision tools we have today

Basic blacksmithing can get you quite far, it’s just ridiculous amount of work to do it all by hand. And just because something is intricate, doesn’t mean it has to be precise. You don’t need sub millimeter accuracy in a suit of armor because the parts don’t need to be interchangeable, a gorget of one suit of armor doesn’t need to fit to any other suit of armor.
