What materials was the flail made of?
a flail was made by a blacksmithA flail is an agricultural tool used for threshing, to separate grains from their husks. It is usually made from two or more sticks attached by a short chain ; one stick is held and swung, causing the other to strike a pile of grain, loosening the husks. The precise dimensions and shape of a flail would have been developed by generations of farmers to suit the particular grain they were harvesting. For example, flails used by farmers in Quebec to process wheat were generally made from two pieces of wood, the handle being about 1.5 m long by 3 cm in diameter, and the second stick being about 1 m long by about 3 cm in diameter, with a slight taper towards the end. Flails for other grains, such as rice or spelt, would have had different dimensions. French peasants threshing with flails around 1270.Flails have generally fallen into disuse in many nations because of the availability of technologies such as combine harvesters that require much less manual labour. But in many places, such as Minnesota, wild rice can only be harvested using manual means, specifically through the use of a canoe and a flail that is made of smooth, round wood no more than 30 inches long.[1] The flailis a medieval weapon made of one (or more) weights attached to a handle with a hinge or chain. There is some disagreement over the names for this weapon; the terms "morning star", and even "mace" are variously applied, though these are used to describe other weapons, which are very different in usage from a weapon with a hinge or chain, commonly used in Europe from the 13th century to the 15th century. In construction, the morning star and flail have similar, if not identical, spiked heads. Thus, morning star is an acceptable name for this weapon, especially as the name "flail" is also used to describe a style of whip used for flagellation. The term "morning star" actually refers to the head of a weapon[citation needed] (the small round spiked ball) and can be used for either a morning star mace (on a shaft) or flail (if on a chain). Flails also sometimes had blunt round heads or flanges like a mace. Some written records point to small rings attached to chains on a flail used to inflict greater damage, but no historical examples are known to exist
What is the difference between glaives voulges pole-arms and forks?
All of them are pole-arms - a polearm is simply a weapon type that includes a wooden pole or haft as part of the weapon. The military fork is simply a long spiked fork, usually two prongs, on the end of a haft. The glaive and voulge are visually very similar, both are a long cleaver-shaped blade on the end of a haft. The difference is that the glaive is generally mounted with a long socket, and has a projecting spike or hook (often very elaborate in later ones) on the back of the blade. The voulge, in contrast, is mounted with metal straps which wrap around the haft, and sometimes run down it as well.

What is meant by the morning Star?
A planet seen close to the Sun at dawn or dusk is sometimes called the Morning Star or Evening Star. In the context of medieval weaponry, the Morning Star resembles a combination mace/spiked club. It could be either a foot soldier's or mounted soldier's weapon. In the simplest terms, it was a wooden-handled weapon (betweeen 2 and 4 feet long), with a metal end. This metal end was usually an iron cylinder, which had roughly a dozen or more 4-inch iron spikes protruding out perpendicular to the shaft, plus usually a long spike at the end (typically 6 inches in length). It is different from a mace, in that a mace's head was usually a forged ball or cylinder with metal studs or short (1-2 inch) flanges cast as a single piece (i.e. the flanges or studs were not added later). It differs from a spiked club in that the spiked club did not have the protective metal cylinder at the head end.
