Chapter 81 Blank Drawing Machine, Simple Structure!
Barrage in the live broadcast roomββ
"What chicken?"
"Pimped chicken? This little pimp...... Sooner, right?"
"Upstairs on purpose...... What Xu Le said was a blank drawing machine, a machine that pulls clay out of shape when making pottery. β
"Oh, I've seen it, when I went to the pottery hall last weekend, the clay was put on top of a machine, and as soon as the switch was turned on, the machine started spinning. β
"Then, with your hands or tools, you can shape the clay into the shape you want. I made a bowl, and when the time came, it was cooked and delivered to the store. β
"Plugged in?"
"That's right, plug in the motor, otherwise how will the blank machine turn?"
"That Xu Le boss...... How do you want to make a blank drawing machine? There's no electricity ...... this."
β...... It seems that this is the truth. β
"Whatever, it's over. In the past few days, has there been less miracles created by Big Brother Xu Le?"
β......β
Xu Le picked out eight pieces of wood with a thickness of two or three centimeters from the pile of wood.
Each piece of wood is about a meter long.
Then he picked out a thick piece of wood of five or six centimeters, which was also about fifty centimeters long.
"There's no electricity on the island, so we're going to have to make the most rudimentary wooden wheel blank machine. β
"Let's make a wooden wheel first. β
He took out the rough wood first and peeled the surface of the wood.
Use a stone axe to carefully scrape off the lump wood and other structures on the trunk to create a straight "bearing".
The bearing is about 20 centimeters away from each end, and then eight shallow marks at equal intervals are carved with a stone knife.
The depth of the shallow marks is less than two centimeters, and the shallow marks are slightly staggered up and down, and the distance between them is about one centimeter.
Around the thick wood, shallow marks form the shape of a staircase.
After simply processing the bearings, Xu Le peeled, polished and straightened eight pieces of fine wood of two or three centimeters in the same way.
The position of the center point of the fine wood segment is also a groove of one centimeter square carved with a stone knife.
"The grooves of two thick and thin segments can bite each other, like this. β
He took out a thin piece of wood and made a gesture at the cut in the thick wood, and the two grooves were wedged together just right.
Tap with the back of a stone axe so that there is no gap between the two pieces of wood.
"That's one of the spokes of the wooden wheel, and the other seven thin wooden spokes are also mounted together like this. β
Knock knock knock......
Knock knock knock......
The percussion sound is dense and regular, and the spokes are installed in place.
He pressed the bearing to the ground with one hand, and with the other he flicked the spokes, and the rough wooden wheel turned jerkily in a circle.

"It's coming, it's coming, familiar craftsman Xu Le!"
"It's really a pleasure to watch Xu Le make these tools...... Far from the world, there is a sense of detachment. β
"I think of Miss Ziqi again, when will Miss Ziqi be able to collaborate with Xu Le on a video?"
"Hahaha, there's one upstairs waiting!"
After making the prototype of the wooden wheel, Xu Le dug a small pit six or seven centimeters wide and ten centimeters deep in the ground.
The spoked side of the wooden wheel is wedged into the stone pit.
Barrage β
"It's a bit of a look!"
He continued to find a wooden pole, about seventy or eighty centimeters long, and at one end there was a branch in the shape of a "Ya".
The end of the branchless branch was sharpened, then it stood up at an angle of 45 degrees, and smashed the back of the axe into the ground, sinking to a depth of about seven or eight centimeters.
The end of the branch has the notch on the top of the wooden wheel bearing.
Seal the end of the "Ya" shaped opening with soft vines to ensure that the wooden wheel bearing will not fall out.
Kick the spokes that come out of the way, and the wooden wheel turns jerky again.
Squeak Twist ...... Squeak Twist ......
Barrage β
"It's really turning!"
"Seems so simple...... But looking at the process of Xu Le's production, it is inexplicably decompressed. β
"Oh, in ancient times, there were no motors, so is this how the tools for drawing blanks are made?"
"Definitely, but the tools are sufficient and the materials are sufficient, and the ancient blank drawing machine must be more perfect. There are manpower, animal power, and water power. β
"It's a bit of a feeling of crossing, plus Xu Le's clay utensils, hahaha, it means back to basics!"
β......β
Xu Le looked at the simple wooden wheel structure from a distance, and then said: "If one side is supported, it is easy to overturn. β
"So let's add two more stents the way we made the brackets just now. β
As he spoke, he chose the same two straight wooden poles, sharpened them, and smashed them into the ground.
The end of the branch with the shape of "Ya", the notch is also against the wooden wheel bearing, and it is sealed with soft vines.
The three brackets are at an angle of 120 degrees to each other, and the stars and moons generally fix the wooden wheel bearings in the room.
On the side of the wooden wheel bearing away from the spokes, Xu Le used a stone knife to cut out a shallow groove about three centimeters wide, and the notches of the three brackets fell right in the shallow groove.
"The triangle is the most stable, and the structure is simple, easy to make and easy to maintain. β
"At the junction point of the upper part, the friction of the wood will cause poor rotation, and the grounding part below also has relatively large friction, and we lubricate it with python oil after drying. β
