Forging a weapon has long been a way to create custom items. While it has existed since ancient times, we now also use computerized technology to help us forge items (such as forgings and castings). This article explains how much metal is lost in old-style forging compared to newer methods
Forging is an annealing technique that uses high temperatures and pressure to shape metal into a desired form. In the past, this process was all done by hand, but today's modern technology allows for faster and more accurate forging of weapons and other pieces of equipment
Forging is similar to casting except that the object being cast is forged rather than casted. For example, when you make a pair of eyeglasses at home with a mold of your face, you are actually casting them; however, when you make them with metalworker's molds they are being forged instead.
