Fire Axe Restoration - How (Not) To Polish An Axe

I wanted to try to do a mirror(ish) polish on this unmarked (pretty sure it is a Harbor Freight Pittsburgh brand) fire axe to give to my brother for his birthday. I finally finished it a few months too late for his birthday but made it in time for Christmas. Along the way, I learned all of the wrong ways to try to get to a mirror finish and burned through a whole lot of sandpaper and crappy grinder discs. But the end result looks pretty good, and I think my brother liked it.
