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.

My tutor: Thom Leworthy.

Music used in this video: “Siegfried’s Funeral March” by Wagner.

Buy the music – the music played at the end of my videos is now available here: https://lindybeige.bandcamp.com/track…
