Description
One of the larger pieces i have been working on for standard action (Canadian webseries)Materials: Aluminum and oak
Process:
1: cut out with a jewelers saw
2: Used our fordome (AKA an industrial verson of a dremel) to carve out the dragon head
3: angle grinder with a flapper wheel the "blade" edges
4: polished parts and blade with sandpaper
5: riveted ornaments on the wing section
6: made pole holder on a lathe
7: cut out groove for blade in pole holder
8: used industrial brake to insert blade into pole holder.
This piece is held together by pressure, it will actually hold better together against damage better then welds with how it was designed and manufactured. the only rivets i used were on the ornamental pieces which say "cold vengence"

Well if you properly heat treat the blade then there really is no difference between forging and grinding. It being aluminum makes it impossible to forge so i didn't really have that option.
I meant more that the design in its self is very in-efficient, it would be difficult to strike offensively.

Yeah, the design itself isn't that efficient for combat - unless you want to gouge out eyes, maybe ^^
As to forging and grinding ... well, with aluminum it'll obviously be difficult to forge it, but as far as forged/gorund steel blades go ... the difference is that when you forge a sword, the edges get very compacted by hammering and thus become very hard, whereas grinding does take material away. The difference would become obvious when you use either in a fight (that's why ground blades are generally prohibited in any historic fencing context - they have too high a risk of breaking). Tempering might remedy this to an extent, I guess, but not to the level of actual forging.

Your welcome. It still looks like it'd hurt if you got stabbed with the pointy end.. regardless I'd rather go into battle with that than a flag!

a standard standard, in the middle ages people had "standards" to show what group they belonged too that could be seen from far away in a battle so the commander could make sure they were setup right. romans had eagles with disks under them on poles etc.
