Aluminum practice swords

Post by Bajaro »

I think this topic was in the archive a while back but i can't seem to find it. Any form of direction will be much appreciated.

Anyway, I have come across a 1.25 inch by .25 inch aluminum bar. I wanted to make a replica sword out of it for practice. Does anybody here have any experience in cold forging aluminum? I want to give it some curve and I want to widen one end and I think that cold forging is the way to go. Any tips? Much appreciated.
