How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 36 The anchor seems to be trying to teach us!

Wang Mu is a master carpenter, and he likes to watch some live outdoor videos on weekdays.

Today, he happened to catch Zhao Chen doing carpentry in the live broadcast, so he stayed in the live broadcast room for a while.

However, when he saw Zhao Chen's operation, Wang Mu frowned.

He couldn't help posting a barrage: "Is this anchor putting on a show? The wood is sawed so fast, and it's not calibrated. It's too easy to go wrong."

The reason why Wang Mu said that was because Zhao Chen sawed wood very fast.

It looks smooth and flowing, done in one go.

[Who is this person? 】

[Click on his homepage and take a look, it looks like he is a master carpenter. 】

[What he said is very reasonable, the speed of the anchor is a bit fast. 】

[Can it meet the standards? 】

Zhao Chen didn't look at the barrage, but kept cutting the wood.

He looked very focused.

Not long after, Zhao Chen removed all the excess wood scraps.

The angle he found is very good, and the wood quality of this top-quality camphor wood is also very good, so the quality of the shaved boards is high.

Zhao Chen glanced at the barrage, and found that someone on the barrage was questioning his carpentry speed.

Zhao Chen immediately took out the tape measure from the side, and then spread the drawings on the table, saying:

"This is a drawing, and there are marked data on the drawing."

"Now I'll use a tape measure to measure it, everyone carefully watch it."

With that said, Zhao Chen took out a piece of wood, and began to measure the length on the wood with a tape measure.

The eyes of netizens gathered in the past.

"This piece is 70 centimeters long, 40 centimeters wide at the top, 35 centimeters wide at the bottom, and 8 centimeters thick."

"This piece is 50 centimeters long, 30 centimeters wide and 8 centimeters thick."

Zhao Chen showed the data to everyone while measuring the length.

Netizens compared these data with the data marked on the drawing, and found that the measured length was exactly the same as the length marked on the drawing.

[Haha, Master Zhao slapped those doubters in the face at the speed of light! 】

[This skill is really strong! 】

[The measured length is not even a centimeter off. Does anyone have any doubts? 】

Looking at the data measured by Zhao Chen, Wang Mu was also amazed.

Moreover, he could see that Zhao Chen had used the camphor wood to the extreme, and only removed a lot of useless leftovers.

Wang Mu couldn't help but sent another barrage:

[Sorry, the anchor is really powerful, I didn't see the nonsense clearly. 】

Seeing Wang Mu's barrage, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room became even more lively.

After Zhao Chen measured the length of the wood, he took out a saw with a relatively unique shape.

"This is called a saw. It is a tool specially designed for cutting curved structures. It can cut buckles that interlock with each other."

"Traditional furniture also uses a kind of adhesive, that is, swim bladder, which can bond the wood together. The tabletop I made needs to use swim bladder to glue it together."

Zhao Chen's movements are very nimble. At first, he opened and closed widely when cutting the material, but now when it comes to processing the curved edge structure, the speed is much slower.

The drone clearly recorded this scene.

The more Wang Mu looked at it, the more surprised he became.

When he first started watching the live broadcast, he saw a handsome young man quickly cutting wood on a machine tool, thinking it was a show.

But after watching for a while, Wang Mu realized that this young man has something!

The technique is too sophisticated, and the curved edges are very beautiful.

"It's really a traditional carpenter's technique. It's really rare." Wang Mu praised the live broadcast.

Zhao Chen concentrated on making the furniture, and he assembled the processed wood parts together.

At the same time, he also explained: "When assembling furniture, it is inevitable that there will be problems with tightness or loose gaps, and the tenons or tenons need to be adjusted at any time."

"After it is fixed, it needs to be carved with patterns. There are carving techniques such as openwork, openwork, and high relief."

"My carving is relatively simple. I just need to carve some hollow patterns on the partition under the table."

"Afterwards, there is the process of clearing the ground, grinding, waxing, baking wax, and scraping wax."

"These processes take a long time, and it is not so fast to make classical furniture."

Folk crafts require patience and care, and some crafts require years of honing.

Therefore, the inheritance of these crafts is getting less and less.

[The anchor seems to be trying to teach us. 】

[Haha, although this knowledge is not useful, it sounds interesting. 】

[We are not watching the live broadcast, we are learning traditional culture! 】

[I'm different, I simply came in to see the handsome guy. 】

Everyone was talking.

From time to time, the drone will fly high, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the mountains.

From a height, one could see Zhao Chen sitting on a chair, polishing the surface of the wood with a plane.There are still a few small black spots moving around.

Those little black dots are the playful little foxes and puppies.

His live content is as relaxed and laid-back as ever.

So the chat atmosphere in the live broadcast room is also very good.

After that, the camera of the drone zoomed in again, taking a close-up of Zhao Chen's live broadcast.

Gradually, netizens were attracted by the live broadcast.

Even people who don't know carpentry can tell that Zhao Chen's carpentry skills are very professional.

After a piece of wood is processed by him, the surface can even reflect light, smooth and flat.

Zhao Chen made the top of the table out of processed fish maw, and the legs of the table are supported by a mortise and tenon structure.

The legs of the table are fixed by beams up and down, which is very stable.

[How did you put it together? 】

[Without nails, can the table be stable? 】

【How did he do it? 】

Many people stared wide-eyed, their faces full of curiosity.

This craftsmanship is like magic, and it turns out that the wood is perfectly combined.

At this time, Zhao Chen took a break and saw everyone's questions on the barrage.

He picked up the little fox next to him and stroked it a few times, then explained:

"The mortise and tenon structure used for splicing boards is called Longfeng Tenon, which means that the long sides of two adjacent wooden boards have slots with lower and upper sides, and they can be combined by pushing and inserting, so it is called Longfeng Tenon."

"The structure used to fix the table legs is called shoulder mortise, which is to cut out a 45-degree bevel and dig out a triangular mortise below the waist of the furniture."

"In order to match the 45-degree oblique tip of the tooth bar, so that when the tooth bar of the raglan tenon is under heavy pressure, it can bite more tightly with the sloping shoulder of the leg and foot."

"The raglan tenon structure is also used here."

[Master, stop talking, we really don't understand. 】

[I finally know what it means to be unaware! 】

[How did the ancients come up with so many weird mortise and tenon structures! 】

[Classic furniture is very expensive. I wanted to buy a few pieces before, but I really had no money, so I had to buy modern furniture. 】

The little fox juice was lying obediently in Zhao Chen's arms, it squinted its eyes and smiled softly.

The little fox, Coke, wanted to play with the little black back. Although the little black was aloof, he couldn't bear the little fox's coquetry and cuteness, so he also wagged his tail and opened his mouth to respond from time to time.

The basic love between fox friends and dog friends looks very warm.

Then, Zhao Chen put down the little fox and continued to work on making classical furniture.

The material of this piece of lightning strike wood is very strong, and the table made is also very heavy, full of a heavy feeling.

The table top is square as a whole, with hollow patterns on the waistband, and the four table legs are very thick and curved outwards.

It hasn't been glazed and waxed yet, so the tabletop is not transparent enough, but it looks atmospheric.

The wood craftsmanship is top quality, even if this piece of furniture is sold in the furniture market, the price will not be cheap.

Zhao Chen took a carving knife and carved patterns on the waistband.

Huaxia's carving art is world-renowned, not only wood carving, stone carving, but also charcoal carving, fruit carving, and walnut carving.

It is unbelievable that a powerful craftsman can carve a lifelike landscape tower on a walnut the size of a ping-pong ball.

Although Zhao Chen's carving skills are not advanced yet, it's not too difficult for him to carve out some patterns.

Gradually, the four-legged square table of classical furniture slowly took shape.

Zhao Chen and his grandfather have learned woodworking skills, so the production speed is very fast.

Then, he made a few more chairs one after another, Zhao Chen did not waste the leftovers, and made a beautiful wooden box.

This miraculous technique has attracted many fans.

Zhao Chen's reputation on the Internet is also growing.
