Chasing Crow,
It's not hard to do. I just took a thinline permanent marker, and drew out the point, using a 32nd inch graduated ruler to measure, in order to keep things as even as possible. Then I used a cut-off wheel in an air powered die grinder to cut it out. This will take some practice. I use these wheels every day at work, so I'm used to their quirks. Go very lightly, until you get a feel for how they act. I cut to the outside edge of the lines, then grind them into an even shape, and even start the edges with them.
Then I harden and temper them. If you're not familiar with this process, the best thing you can do is go to the library or book store and get a good book on blacksmithing. It should have enough info to get you started. I'm sure you've heard this enough, already, but the best thing you can do is just dig in and start experimenting. One saw blade will give you lots of material, and I used an oxyacetylene torch for the heat treating. If you don't want to get too technical, you could probably do just fine without the heat treating, but then you should probably be more carefull not to take the temper out while cutting, cooling often with water. Honestly, you can cut one of these things out in a blink. It probably took me longer to sharpen it than it did to cut it out, and I'm a rank amateur. Just get busy with it, and have some fun. Oh yeah, and post pics of your results. I don't know about everyone else, but I love seeing everyone else's stuff, and what they're up to.
