Chapter 478: The Loom

Pull the hand drill over, remove the drill bit and turn it around, and the standard he can make at present is only the diameter of this small drill bit.

Just do it, according to the method of making bamboo nails, I made a board to scrape bamboo strips, and then pulled out many thin bamboo round sticks.

Then find a square wooden strip, nail a frame, take off the long two, and put them together, mark the scale, stack them together and punch holes, and then cut out the appropriate length of the thin bamboo sticks, and nail them together with the wooden frame, which gives a grid.

In the same way, another grid is obtained, and the grid tied to the meridians is ready.

The next step should be to have one grid fixed and one grid moved.

This requires two shelves, one with a fixed grid and one with rails, which can be used to move the grid.

Well, the moving grid needs to be tied to a heavy object underneath, connected to the rungs under the weaver's feet by pulleys, and when the weaver's foot is stepped on, the grid will rise, and as soon as the foot is released, the grid will automatically fall again.

After Ah Yin finished winding the twine, he also came to see Li Junge's design, and at the same time made ideas based on the Miao family loom he had seen.

The two of them were thinking about the design at the same time, and it was almost noon, Li Junge went to do carpentry, and Ayin went to cook.

First I made two large N-frames, then one lay down, and the other was inserted at 90 degrees with it, connected by four legs.

In this way, there is a rung in front of the weaver, and an N-frame stands more than a meter in front of it.

Then place the first grid a little above the bottom of the n-frame and fix it.

Next is the one at the back, with a pulley in the middle of the rungs of the N-frame, with the groove of the pulley facing the weaver.

One is also attached to the rung in front of the weaver.

Find a stick, slightly wider than the N-frame, and place it behind the N-frame to block the two beams on both sides.

Then take a hemp rope and tie it at both ends of the stick, then make a rope loop in the middle of the hemp rope, tie a long hemp rope to the rope loop, take two pulleys, tie a loop on the end of the thread, you can be trampled by the weaver under your feet, and control the height of the stick.

Make two more holes from the stick, just symmetrical to the center of the stick, and the width is exactly the width of the grid.

Hang the grid on two ropes, so that it is level.

Let Ayin sit in front of the shelf, measure the length of the long rope, and when Ayin's feet land, the middle of the back grid coincides with the upper edge of the front grid.

Then two ropes are also tied to the bottom of the back grid, and the ropes are tied to wooden sticks, and the center of the sticks is tied with ropes, and stones are hung.

The stone never hits the ground, and the hemp rope on the pulley block is always in tension.

In front of the weaver's rung, there is a horizontal round stick, which also has a row of small bamboo teeth, opposite the round stick on the grid.

This and the round stick can be rotated, can be driven by the wheels on both sides of the loom, and later wait for the back of the loom to make a pay-off device, the weaver can operate the wheels on both sides, turn the wooden stick to roll up the cloth.

There is also a brake device on the wheel, in fact, it is to turn out a circle of holes, corresponding to the corresponding position of the shelf on both sides of the longitudinal in front of the weaver, and when the time comes, a few bamboo sticks will be inserted into it, and the round stick beam will be locked and will no longer rotate.

One of the simplest textile tools was made.

After eating, the rain still did not decrease, and the two of them didn't care about this, and began to add thread to the loom and began to weave for the first time.

Locking the round stick in front of Ayin's body, ensuring that the small teeth are facing upward, Li Junge tied twine in the middle of the grid of the fixed grid, and then signed on the round stick in front of Ayin, wrapped it around the first small tooth twice, and then pulled it back, passed through the gap next to the tied round stick on the fixed grid, and tied it to the middle of the first wooden stick of the mobile grid.

In this way, one root is tied, and ten sets of fine twine make up twenty warp threads.

Then Ayin gently lifted her foot, and the meridians on the moving grid fell below the warp lines of the fixed grid.

Ayin threaded the shuttle in her hand from the right to the left, Li Junge handed her his ruler, Ayin used the ruler to compact the first weft, and then took out the ruler and stepped on it, and the warp on the moving grid was lifted above the warp of the fixed grid.

Ayin then threaded the shuttle on the left back to the right, and a great moment came, the textile industry was born for the first time on an uninhabited island!

Ayin excitedly flew the shuttle over and laughed: "Erpi!

Li Junge laughed: "Then it's time for blood and rain to cry at night today, this is another great invention that is no less than Cangjie's character creation!"

Ah Yin was so excited to weave this belt, Li Junge circled around Ah Yin and the loom, there are many places where this thing needs to be transformed!

In the first step, the place where the foot is stepped on is replaced with a rung, which is fixed on the shelf by two n-shaped wooden blocks, which has a certain range of movement, but it is not too large, so that the weaver does not have to keep lifting his feet to put the moving grid down, as long as he loosens his foot, the grid will automatically fall, but the middle of it will not fall out of the lower edge of the fixed grid, because the rungs connected to it are blocked by the upper frame of the U-shaped wooden block.

In this case, the meridians on the fixed grid are always moved back and forth on the upper and lower sides of the meridians on the fixed grid, but never more than the upper and lower edges of the fixed grid.

This greatly frees Ayin's legs, and she will not be so tired.

The second step is to widen, and now this primitive shelf, a stick of three millimeters, plus a gap of three millimeters, ten groups can only weave a six-centimeter-wide belt, at least eight to ten times more, in order to get a washcloth.

The third one is difficult, if you want the grid to be released, you need to drill a hole in the middle of the grid, which can not only fix the meridian in the center of the grid bamboo stick forever, but also release the line.

This requires drill bits with a diameter of only 1.5 millimeters, and smaller hand drills.

Then there are the spools, twenty warps, which are enlarged eight times to one hundred and sixty spools, and the spools are also equipped with brakes.

I'm not afraid that I can't do it, I'm afraid that I can't think of it, and since I think of it, then do it.

Let's start with the simplest, a small pressure drill.

The drill body is difficult to Li Junge, the big drill bit is drilled on the bamboo board, and the bamboo nail is the drill pipe when scraping a thin circle, and it is dipped in a small flywheel to ensure that it is vertical when drilling.

The key is the drill bit.

There are also two screws, Li Junge is reluctant to use them indiscriminately, takes a nut, burns it red in the charcoal fire, first carefully closes the hole in the middle of the nut with a stone hammer, and then hammers it flattened fiercely.

At this time, Ayin had already finished weaving the part in front of him, and there was a foot-long belt.

Undaunted, she began to stand next to the loom, pulling the rope with her left hand and sending the shuttle with her right hand to continue weaving.

Li Junge didn't bother to care about her, he was idle anyway.

After several machining, the nut is hammered into a piece, thick in the middle and thin on both sides.

Li Junge pulled out the machete, put the iron piece on the cutting board, and put the part used for chopping on it, and let Ah Yin put a wooden stick on the sawtooth, and beat it with another wooden stick himself.

After a few blows, the iron sheet is knocked open by the extremely hard blade, and there is only a little sticking.

Li Junge gently bent the iron piece up and down with his hands, dividing the iron piece into two halves.

Then, sticking to the first knife, turning the iron piece over, giving up two millimeters, and setting the knife in place, Ayin excitedly put the wooden stick on the serration again.

Li Junge rolled his eyes: "What's the panic, go, bring my wet panties!"

Ayin's eyes widened: "What? Why do you want to dress so formally?"

Li Junge was speechless: "If you want to knock such a small drill bit, fly out of the distance with a knife, do you go to find it or I will find it?!"

Ayin then understood, and grinned as she gave him wet panties with the tips of her fingers.

Li Junge covered his underwear on the side of the needle, which made Ayin put the wood back on, and he slammed it twice, cutting out a trace of the iron piece again.

Then hurriedly threw the knife away, picked up the underwear and rummaged under his eyes, if it wasn't someone who knew the inside story, he would definitely shout perverted.

Finally found the iron needle hanging on the underwear and looked closely, the two knives were chopped down on two sides, and the edge of the machete just squeezed the cross-section of this part of the iron piece into a perfect diamond shape. With almost no grinding, it's just a perfect drill bit with a width of 1.5 mm.

However, the tip still has to come out, and after quenching the oil on the sand and gravel, the hardness is restored, and a small drill bit is in hand!

Now that the road is open, the remaining two pieces of iron cannot be wasted.

Li Junge concocted the same method and cut out five drill bits.

The remaining two parts are also useful, and inside the small bamboo tube, that is, two artifacts that divide the clay pieces.

The next pay-off board is easy to do, take two long wooden strips, stack them together, drill 20 holes at the same distance with a large drill bit, and nail 20 bamboo nails.

Take 20 bamboo pipes with an inner diameter larger than the bamboo nail, cut them off, and cut them one higher than the length of the bamboo nail.

Then turn the hole in the upper part of the bamboo pipe, and also put on the bamboo nails.

Scrape the two sides of the bamboo pipe a little finer, pick up another piece of wood, turn the bamboo pipe, and put the bamboo nails on it into the holes in the wooden stick one by one, and the twenty bamboo pipes will be fixed.

Extend the wooden frame of the loom, fix this device behind the wooden frame, remove the wooden strips, and then remove the bamboo pipes one by one, and wrap five meters of twine around each one.

Ask Ayin to stop weaving, first take off the moving grid, and drill holes one by one on the bamboo stick with small hands.

Then install the moving grid back, find the corresponding meridians, pull out a thread every other cluster, pass through the small hole in the middle of the grid, and connect with them.

Then remove the fixed grid, punch holes one by one again, and pull the threads from the rest of the threads to pass through the small holes and connect with the warp threads that were originally tied to it.

Then slowly turn the bamboo pipe, pull the thread tight, and fix the bamboo nails on the bamboo pipe to the wooden strip with twenty holes.

If it can't be fixed, the thread should be cut off and reconnected, in short, the thread should be fixed.

This is also this time, and the amount of wire routing for each thread group will be fixed every time in the future, and there will be no such a big error.

After the thread was broken, Ayin could sit back in front of the loom and weave the ribbon.

After weaving a few times, Li Junge loosened the hole plate, Ah Yin released the brakes on both sides of the round stick in front of him, rolled the belt to the round stick, and rolled it to almost, Li Junge put the hole plate on it, and Ah Yin continued to tighten the rung, finding a suitable position to fix the brake.

There are many round holes in the wheels, and there are several sockets between the elastic that can be inserted, so the position is easy to adjust, and then Ayin can continue to weave the tape.

This is the death hole of Ayin, and I can't stop weaving.

With this, many tools are ready again, bamboo needles, and crochet hooks are required.

These are easy to do, a small drill bit can not only drill a hole of 1.5 millimeters, as long as the thing is thin enough, the two ends of the drill, as long as it does not exceed the maximum width of the drill bit, theoretically how small the hole can be drilled.

So Li Junge prepared a lot of bamboo needles and crochet needles for Ayin with old bamboo with skin, and knitted a sewing box for her with fine bamboo silk.
