Chapter 468 Carpenter's Work

Zheng Zheng has never done the job of carpenter, but the old man of Zheng Zheng's family has done it. When Zheng Zheng was young, when the old man was fine, he often used a few pieces of wood to make a small bench, make a small shelf or something, and Zheng Zheng, who was familiar with this carpenter's work, also knew a little about this carpenter's work. But this understanding is understood, if Zheng Zheng is asked to make a cabinet or table or something, Zheng Zheng will still be blind.

Later, when he entered an antique shop, Zheng Zheng also had a lot of knowledge about woodware, and knew how woodware was made. Combined with what the old man told him about fake woodware before, the process of making ornaments such as wooden hairpins, Zheng Zheng can be regarded as having some understanding of how to make a wooden ornament.

This is the first time Zheng Zheng has really reached out to do it. However, Zheng Zheng is not flustered, and he is not afraid of messing up, because what he wants to do is a very simple gadget, there is no technical content, as long as the wood is divided in advance, it is more appropriate, and the rest depends on the work in hand.

Picking up the sawn purple sandalwood and looking at it, Zheng Zheng used a pen to point a little on the purple sandalwood, and then drilled it a few times with a flat drill, and drilled out a small mark.

The flat drill that Zheng Zheng bought is the kind of drill bit used in automatic machine tools, and it is not the same as the hand drill bit that Zheng Zheng wants to buy. But in Europe, there is no way to ask for so much, just use it. Zheng Zheng used this drill bit to make a foundation hole in the wood, so that it was convenient to use an electric drill to drill down.

The surface of the purple sandalwood is quite smooth, and the wood itself is hard, so at the beginning of the electric drill to drill, the success rate is a bit low, and the drill bit is relatively easy to slide away. But as long as you make a slight mark on the surface of the wood, it doesn't need to be deep or big, you can bite the tip of the drill bit, and you can eat hard.

With this piece of purple sandalwood and the purple sandalwood on the side in the shape of "ten", Zheng Zheng stepped on this piece of purple sandalwood, held an electric drill, pressed hard, and slowly drilled through the purple sandalwood. When the electric drill drilled the wood, it was not loud, but it was not small, but under Zheng Zheng's careful control, it did not make much noise.

Looking at the one-centimeter straight hole drilled by the electric drill on the purple sandalwood, Zheng Zheng nodded with satisfaction. He was also worried that he had drilled the hole crookedly for the first time, but it seemed that the results were quite good, and the straight hole was quite good.

Putting down the electric drill, Zheng Zheng picked up the wire saw on the side. This wire saw isn't the big thing you use on a construction site to cut steel, it's something like a miniature bow. The main body of the wire saw is a piece of plastic, and a steel wire with barbed teeth is tied to the two ends of the plastic, pinning the plastic into a bow. This wire with prickly teeth is the blade of this wire saw.

Zheng Zheng took one end of the steel wire off the plastic handle, then passed the steel wire through the straight hole made in the purple sandalwood, and then buckled this end to the plastic handle. In this way, the saw blade of this wire saw passed through the straight hole on the purple sandalwood and hung on the purple sandalwood.

"Are you going to ......" Bai Xiaoxue on the side looked quietly, but didn't see what Zheng Zheng wanted to do: "What are you going to do?"

Zheng Zheng stopped what he was doing and explained to Bai Xiaoxue: "To put it simply, I just want to dig a ring on this piece of purple sandalwood. It's a boring job...... If it weren't for the importance of this business, I wouldn't have bothered to spend this effort. ”

"Then I see that there seems to be a drill bit on one side, can't you just drill one out?" Bai Xiaoxue pointed to the flat drill bit on the side and said.

Zheng Zheng shook his head and said, "The flat drill bit is almost okay to do some non-delicate work, but it is not okay to use this for more delicate work." I now have to use a wire saw to enlarge the hole, and then use an electric drill to smooth out the corners and round. Because of the electric drill, it's not easy to master, and if you accidentally use it too hard, it's easy to make the inner ring of the ring oval, which is not good. ”

"Oh. Bai Xiaoxue nodded as if she didn't understand, and watched quietly with her chin in her hand, and didn't ask.

The wire saw and the electric drill took turns, and after about half an hour, a round hole of about the same size appeared on the purple sandalwood, just enough for Zheng Zheng's fingers to put in, not loose or tight.

Once that's all that is done, the rest is simple. Zheng Zheng saws off the excess timber with a hand saw and wire saw, then uses an electric angle grinder to grind off the stunned edges, and then uses a carving knife to do the final trimming. After trimming with a carving knife, the whole ring is almost ready. Although the rest is still a little uneven, it is smoothed out after grinding it with coarse sandpaper a few times.

Once this is done, the entire ring is basically finished, and all that's left is polishing. Zheng Zheng bought this set of sandpaper from 12 mesh to 2,000 mesh, of which 120 mesh sandpaper is the coarsest sandpaper of frosted sand, and 2,000 mesh is the finest sand in this set of sandpaper.

There are a total of 11 pieces of frosted paper in this set, of which there are 6 coarsely ground and 5 finely ground. Zheng Zheng was not ambiguous, and used these eleven pieces of sandpaper twice from the inside to the outside. The grinding effect on these two sides is quite significant, and the ring, which was a little stunned before, has become very smooth.

After polishing, Zheng Zheng found the hair dryer in the hotel room, used the hot air of the hair dryer to dissolve the beeswax, and dripped the beeswax on the ring. While the beeswax was still dry, Zheng Zheng quickly wiped the ring with a little toilet paper to make the beeswax more evenly distributed on the ring. Strictly speaking, using toilet paper when polishing is a thing that is spurned by insiders, and it is best to use silk cloth, and at the very least, you have to get a soft cloth to polish. However, Zheng Zheng doesn't have anything to do, so it's done, anyway, the effect after polishing is not too bad.

After the finished ring, it is about a centimeter wide, which is considered wide in the ring. This is also because Zheng Zheng really doesn't have more delicate tools at hand, so it is difficult to make further cutting, otherwise he can make it a little narrower. However, it is good to have a wooden ring that is a little wider, although the purple sandalwood is a relatively strong wood, but it is easy to break if it is too thin.

There is no carving or decoration on the whole ring, only the grain of the wood itself. Zheng Zheng is not familiar with delicate work such as carving pattern words, so he will not try to do it, so as not to make the ring flower with a shake of his hand, which is not beautiful. And there is no carved ring on this body, but it has a little quaint meaning, which is quite in line with the image of a mature and stable "archaeologist".

"Look, how about it?" Zheng Zheng asked with a smile as he handed his work to Bai Xiaoxue.

Bai Xiaoxue took the ring and looked at it, and said, "Although it looks a little monotonous, it's still very good-looking...... But if you wear this ring to talk about business, will it make others think that you are wearing a cheap product, but it will not have much effect?"

Hearing Bai Xiaoxue say this, Zheng Zheng gave Bai Xiaoxue a thumbs up with satisfaction and praised: "Xiaoxue, you think very thoughtfully...... How to say it, although it has never been true that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, many times when looking at clothes, they also look at people. Even if a person who drives a luxury car wears handmade cloth shoes, others think that his handmade cloth shoes are made in a high-end private custom store, but even if a washing, cutting and blowing brother is carrying a genuine LV bag, others also think that this is a high-end imitation, where do you reason? This ring is indeed not suitable for other people's hands, and it is not very identical, but it is different when worn on my hands......

Smiling, Zheng Zheng said: "Actually, to put it bluntly, this ring doesn't play a role in the business we want to talk about today, at most it's just to cooperate with my identity." The key to whether this business can be negotiated or not is still in me. If I don't have money and I don't have the ability, then no matter what I'm wearing, I can't talk about today's business. ”

Bai Xiaoxue frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Then since you think so, why do you have to spend so much effort on this not very important matter?"

Zheng Zheng smiled and scratched Bai Xiaoxue's nose, and said: "This is called 'Zhengqi Harmony', I will do anything that can help today's things, and if I can add a little more impression points, it will be a little more impression points." The foundation of this impression score has been laid, and with my own strength, isn't it easier to do something that was originally a little difficult? So although this thing is not particularly important, it is not meaningless. ”

Bai Xiaoxue frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I almost understand what you mean." It's like a woman putting on makeup, if she has a good foundation, she will be more beautiful after makeup. If the foundation is not very good, it will be improved after makeup. But if the foundation itself is bad, although there is a little improvement after makeup, it is still difficult to win the favor of your men...... That's right?"

"Hmm......" Bai Xiaoxue understood in this way, which made Zheng Zheng a little speechless, but her way of understanding was really right. Zheng Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "You have a very comprehensive summary...... That's pretty much what it means. ”

"Oh......"

Bai Xiaoxue nodded, rolled her eyes, and threw out a question that could be called a killer weapon with malicious intentions: "Then you say, do you like me with makeup, or do you like me without makeup?"

Zheng Zheng secretly shouted in his heart, "Fooled", he didn't expect Bai Xiaoxue to be waiting for him here. This kind of question is the most difficult to answer, no matter which one you choose, there will be a head-scratching ending like "you don't like me with makeup - I try to be beautiful and you don't like me" or "you don't like me without makeup - you don't like me at all".

Faced with this dilemma, Zheng Zheng made a man's wisest decision: "I like the way you look when you are arched by me." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Bai Xiaoxue to react, Zheng Zheng pounced on him.
