How are sway bars made?

Was just thinking that I really dont know how they are constructed. I've been building a couple of front subframe braces for my Saab 900 Turbo, and was looking at the sway bar at the rear and thought, it wouldnt be too hard for me to fabricate one based on the design of the stock one.

Is this something that conceivably could be done by a DIY'er, or does it involve heat treating, pre-tensioning, etc.. I have access to high quality metal, hence why I was asking.
