[TheForge] forging aluminum

[Gladish Family]

Hi, everybody.
Has any of you got experience forging aluminum, or know of a good book 
or resource on same?
I want to build a decorative screen for a garden, and aluminum would be 
the best choice for the location, but can't seem to find anything in my 
library about forging it. Is it done cold and annealed, or do you use a 
low heat in the forge?
In the dark here...
Thanks!
Andy G.
