Forging a sword – part four: linishing and quillons

Filed under: Technology, Tools, Weapons — Tags: , , , , , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Lindybeige
Published 6 Apr 2019

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

Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Lindybeige

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.

Heat-treating a sword is very important, and can easily go very wrong. Here you see my first go at it.

No special lightsabre effects were used in this video. It actually looked like that in real life.

Hammering hot metal into shape is quite a satisfying task, when it goes well. Here you see me shaping out my sword.

Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Lindybeige

I was invited by the Cut and Thrust Collective to go to Glastonbury and make my own sword. In an earlier video, you saw my training (forging a nail), and immediately after that we started on the sword. Thom Leworthy was the bladesmith showing me how it is done.

Published 29 Feb 2020

I have finally moved tools into the workshop! First thing to do is get organized, so I built this French Cleat Wall to store all of the tools that will get used most frequently. This is designed to be a grab and go wall, so tools are set up and ready to be used right away. This is just the first step in organizing my new workshop. Enjoy!
