I am a primitive

This kind of wood called copper wood is really very solid. Even with a saw made of meteorite, it took a lot of effort for the cat's ears to cut off the wood that is about the size of an adult's arm.

Han Cheng picked up the piece of copper wood that was about [-] centimeters long and held it in his hand.

It is very heavy to handle, far heavier than ordinary trees.

And at the truncated fracture, there are circles of fine annual rings.

These dense annual rings are almost next to each other, densely packed. Compared with fast-growing trees such as poplar and paulownia, the distance between two annual rings can be two to three centimeters, denser. too much.

Han Cheng roughly counted, and there are 43 circles on this arm-thin copper wood.

That is to say, it has lived for 43 years without looking very conspicuous.

No wonder it's so solid.

Han Cheng felt so emotional, and stretched out his hand to touch the annual rings that had been truncated, and there was some warmth on them.

This was scuffed by a saw not so long ago.

After the cat's ear cut the copper wood, under the order of the lame, it peeled off all the skin on it, and chopped off some bumps with an axe.

After chopping, use a small plane to smooth it down.

With the passage of time, now the minor who was embarrassed and shed tears because he couldn't draw the line, has now grown into the Qingque tribe, second only to the lame carpenter.

However, the ink fountain that Han Cheng brought with him had cracked after a long period of use.

Moreover, with the improvement of skills, the tribe later produced more and more exquisite ink fountains, but the ink fountain that looked rough and cracked and unusable, Mao Er has never been willing to throw away.

It was treasured by the cat's ears, and it was placed in the innermost part of the Kang where he slept, at the same level as his headrest.

When he was sleeping, as long as he turned his head, he would be able to see the ink fountain and remember what happened back then.

He was able to persevere in practicing his skills and reached the second position in the Qingque Tribe. This ink fountain and the words Shenzi said to him at the beginning played an extremely important role.

When working overtime to practice craftsmanship, there are many times when Mao Er feels that he is too tired, and that he may not need to work so hard, and that he can take more rest like other people who learn carpentry.

But he never did.

That ink fountain, and what Shenzi had said to him, made Mao Er persevere.

After a long time of practicing crafts day after day, Mao Er suddenly found that he had gone a long way when he looked back.

People who learned carpentry earlier than me, as well as people who were more talented than me in this area, were surpassed by me without knowing it, and left far behind by me.

A person's life is both long and short.

In this life, you will meet many people and experience many things, but there are some things that can only be done by one person, and some roads that can only be walked by one person.

Taste loneliness alone, bear the pressure and pain on the way forward, survive the adversity, and when looking back, people will often be proud of their persistence at that time.

I thank myself at that time for not stopping, not giving up halfway, but persevering all the way.

And often, when this state appears, it is also the time when a person grows the fastest and makes the most progress.

After Mao Er made the copper and wood shaft, Limp and some other people also made the outer column.

Pass the shaft of the copper wood through the middle of the log. After finding the position, mark it with a pen, and pull out the copper wood shaft from the middle.

Then the lame and the cat's ears, according to the marks made before, took an ax and a chisel to chisel holes on the copper wooden shaft and the outer cylinder.

Copperwood is too strong, so Lame uses meteoric iron axes and chisels.

The cat ears use a bronze ax and chisel.

As for the other carpenters, they started to make wooden nails with axes and other tools, and they helped Lame and Cat Ears.

After a while of clanging, the copper and wooden shaft and the holes outside were all punched.

They once again inserted the copper wooden shaft into the log with a diameter of about [-] centimeters, and adjusted it slightly so that the holes on the two were aligned.

Then the lame took a wooden nail and put it in, and nailed it firmly with the axe.

The excess part of the wooden nail is chopped off with an axe so that it is flush with the outer column.

After such a few rounds of wooden nails are set, the outer log is firmly combined with the copper and wooden shaft.

You only need to install an L-shaped handle, and the main body of the potter's wheel becomes.

"Make some boards two centimeters thick and four centimeters wide, and cut them to the same length as the column above the potter's wheel.

After soaking the tung oil on the potter's wheel, put a piece on it at a distance of about two centimeters, fix it slightly, and then divide it into three or five with strong rattan, tie it firmly, and then rinse the whole body with tung oil . "

Seeing that everyone had already made these, Han Cheng, who stood aside and did not leave, gave a new order aloud.

He didn't draw these things on the drawings before.

It's not that he wants to learn from the cat master, but because he didn't think of the use of these things when he was painting.

Now, he has figured it out, these wooden boards that are firmly bound outside are used to prevent that piece of log from cracking and making it unusable.

With the outer layer of separated and bundled wooden boards, even if the inner log is really cracked, it will not affect the use of the potter's wheel.

Moreover, with the addition of this layer of wood boards with a thickness of about two centimeters, the overall potter's wheel will become thicker, and it will become faster when winding the rope.

After understanding what Han Cheng meant, the lame people immediately started to follow suit.

These things are simple, and with a large number of people, the work can be divided, so after a while, they have already been done.

While completing these, another person also completed the shelf for supporting the potter's wheel.

Very simple, it is two groups of wooden sticks tied crosswise, presenting an X shape.

It's just that the intersection point should be higher. The most important thing to pay attention to is that the height of the intersection point of the two sets of shelves should be the same.

Of course, it doesn’t matter even if the heights are different. When fixing, just bury the higher side a little more underground.

Tung oil is very different from paint. After the paint is applied, it must not be touched before it dries, but if it is tung oil, as long as you don't mind getting some tung oil on your hands, it doesn't matter.

Therefore, under the operation of several people who wanted to see the effect of the potter's wheel earlier, the potter's wheel that had just been brushed with tung oil was put on the well in the kitchen.

Find a strong and long hemp rope, tie it firmly to the pulley, stir the pulley to wrap the rope around the pulley, and then it can be put into use.

Tie the top of the tree, which is filled with soil, to the rope wrapped around the potter's wheel, and then throw the handle. Under the action of gravity, the tree head will fall into the well.

At the same time, the rope is used to turn the potter's wheel at a high speed, and the potter's wheel will not stop until the head reaches the bottom of the well.

"Okay! Pull!"
