Forging a sword - part four: linishing and quillons

Описание: Forging Arnander, my English bastard sword. I now start linishing (grinding/polishing), and make the quillons (crossguard) in a slightly fancy manner.

Had I been a better smith, I could have judged the amount that the quillons would extend by when being hammered out, and there wouldn't have been the need to grind away so much metal. Without motorised tools, the medieval smiths would want to minimise grinding.
