You begin to study the instructions and slowly understand how to balance metal weapons.  A balanced weapon can parry better, and is easier to hit enemies with.  However, adjusting the balance will reduce the power the weapon is capable of striking with and make it less likely to land stunning blows.
To begin with you will need to get a grindstone spinning fast by TURNing it.  Then you can PUSH the grindstone with your weapon, periodically making sure it needs no deburring by RUBing it with a wire brush.
To complete the process you will need to POUR some oil onto the weapon to clean and protect it.  Just remember that you can Hone, or Balance a weapon - but not both!
