Chapter 55 The Craftsman's Knife Technique

Old Man Bai and President Yu each chose a piece to take a closer look.

One took a piece with a fish's eye, the other took a piece with gold wire, and rubbed it in his hand for a long time, and the old man Bai said: "This stone is very moist, and it looks good, but I haven't seen it, it won't be jade, right?"

President Yu said: "This one with eyes is a bit like the stone eye in the inkstone. ”

The old man Bai covered his hand on the stone and said: "Hehe, the top Duan inkstone of other people can grind ink, and the water beads will come out after covering it with your hand for a while, so ......"

He opened his hand and said, "Yo! ”

I saw some tiny droplets of water appear on the stones.

So the old man turned out a strong jade flashlight, turned on the lamp and put it up, and an emerald green spot appeared on the stone.

"Well, you can also eat a circle of light to go in, this is not jade or stone, what the hell is it. ”

President Yu said, "This stone is very beautiful, little brother, are you going to come out?"

Li Junge said: "No, I just want to know what this stone is. ”

President Yu rubbed the stone eye on the stone and said, "If you can trust me, little brother, I will bring the stone to Beijing to give you an appraisal? ”

Li Junge picked at the core of his head and said, "Of course it's good, but I don't know if the appraisal fee is expensive?"

President Yu listened attentively while tapping the stone with his knuckles to make a pleasant tinkling sound, and said in his mouth: "People have professional identification equipment, and the results will be available soon." ”

Li Junge said very happily: "That's a good dare, I think President Yu and Bai Lao like these pieces of material very much, and they have a share when they go up the mountain to fight birds, otherwise we will share it one by one, how can you say that you also have a hard time." ”

President Yu touched the stone and couldn't put it down, and said, "That's really embarrassing, I'm just doing it." In this way, when the time comes, I will find a master of Beigong and carve three works, one for each of us. ”

The old man laughed and said, "Then I'll eat it for nothing, hahaha!"

Li Junge took Old Man Bai's hand and said sincerely: "Where is it, I haven't thanked you for the last Lancao incident!"

After bidding farewell to the two, Li Junge began to go to the metal processing center on the outskirts of the city, where there is currently more advanced CNC equipment, which can laser cut and engrave metal.

I found a company and opened the drawings and asked, "Can you do this kind of machining here? I need a batch of these tools, I need a lot of steel, which is very hard."

It was a young man who came to greet him, took the drawings and looked at them, and said, "These things of yours are all small pieces, and the precision required is very high, and we need to give you the best equipment to estimate it." If you're looking for the best steel, we've got V10 powder steel from Sweden right here. There is also the Japanese T10, and the domestic, slightly cheaper is tungsten gold steel. These steels are mainly used in machine tools, and the hardness is certainly no problem, but the price is expensive.

Li Junge said: "Then you can make a price, you can see how much these dozens of tools can be obtained." ”

The young man said, "If you get this set, it is estimated that you will get four or five thousand yuan." ”

Li Junge said: "That's okay." When will I be able to pick up the goods?" I thought that the Japanese craftsman was coming soon, and if I didn't make things better, I would quickly make these sets of poles, and then I wouldn't be able to get anything, but it would be a little bit like that...

The young man said, "It depends on whether you are in a hurry or not, if you are in a hurry, well, I will get you 5,000 yuan today." If you are not in a hurry, 4500 will be picked up the day after tomorrow. ”

Li Junge said: "Then I'd better be earlier, I can see how you operate." ”

While scanning the drawings, the young man said to Li Junge: "In fact, as long as the equipment is in place, the operation is very simple, and it is not as tall as imagined." You see, I now scan all these drawings into the computer, and then use CAD software to convert them into digital drawings, and then put as many tools as possible on a drawing, don't waste materials, and finally output them to the CNC machine tool and cut them out with a laser. ”

Li Junge said: "Isn't that just like a printer? Now the technology is so advanced, if this thing is made by hand, how long will it take? Now it can be done in a few hours."

The young man said, "Well, don't you see that alpha dog has already beaten all the chess players? By the way, I see that you are also some small processing tools, what are you going to do with it? I have been doing laser CNC for so many years, and I really have never made a similar tool. ”

Li Junge said: "This is used to make bamboo utensils. ”

The young man smiled and said, "Yo! Powder steel is used as a tool to make bamboo tools, so the cost is too high!"

Brother Jun picked the core of his head and said with a smile: "This is a hobby of the elders in the family, he likes to make bamboo when he is young, so he just puts a good set of tools for him!"

The young man took out a few steel bars and said to Li Junge: "Look at this is the powder steel V10 of the Swedish ASSAB, its hardness is capricious, and it is now a relatively advanced machine tool steel in the world, which is generally used to replace tungsten steel that is easy to collapse." ”

Then he threw another pair of sunglasses to Li Junge, put one on himself, and said, "Take it well, I'm ready to turn on it immediately." ”

Li Junge put on his glasses, watched the red laser cut into the steel, and according to the drawings on the computer, he soon got a batch of gadgets.

"Gee, that's amazing. Li Junge said with emotion,

The young man said, "Let's go to the door and smoke a cigarette, this thing can't be stared at all the time, it hurts the eyes." ”

When he arrived at the door, he scattered a cigarette for Li Junge, and then said: "No matter how powerful the machine is, it still can't replace people's manual work, just like now cars are often hundreds of kilometers per hour, and we still have to run marathons The reason is the same, this is a challenge for human beings to the limit of their own ability." In fact, the victory of machines is also the victory of human intelligence, because in the final analysis, machines are developed by humans. ”

Brother Li Jun said: "Dude, what you said is very philosophical! By the way, let me ask you again, do you know where to buy electric sharpening tools? Your powder steel is so hard, if you have to grind it by hand, you may have to die of exhaustion!"

The young man said: "This is the electromechanical market, there is everything, you just buy a small electric mill, the power does not need to be too high, dozens of watts on the line, this thing is very convenient to use, you can use it at home as an ordinary processing tool, install the sand disc, that is, the whetstone, install the saw disc, he is the chainsaw, install the electric drill bit, he is the electric drill." Now it can also be connected to an engraving pen and used for the processing of jadeite jade. The price is not expensive, the precision made in Korea is higher, and even the shelves are only three or four hundred yuan. ”

Li Junge pulled the young man and said: "I just learned a sentence today, professional things are left to professional people to do, I will leave this matter to you, let's go, help me choose a set." ”

The young man helped him choose a set of Korean electric grinders, and then equipped them with a complete set of carving and polishing tools.

Back at the CNC machining center, I waited for about two hours for these dozens of gadgets to be completed.

Saying goodbye to the young man, Li Junge sighed at the power of science and technology while walking towards the dock.

When he came to Uncle Maker's house that night, Li Junge handed him the tools and said, "Come, Uncle Craftsman, try it!"

Uncle Smith took off the sharpening knife in his hand from the handle, picked out one of the tools brought by Li Junge and put it on, and said, "This thing is really well done, you can see that this edge line is the same as cutting noodles." ”

Then take out a few grinding stones and replace them with sharpening edges.

Li Junge handed over the electric mill to him, and Uncle Craftsman said: "I don't need that thing, it's fast, it's easy to fade the steel fire!"

While grinding, I sighed that the steel was really hard.

Finally, after grinding it, I chose a bamboo stick at random, interviewed a few times, and said: "Well, okay, it's really good, with this bunch of things, it is estimated that the batch of fishing rods can be made within a month." ”

Li Junge said: "Okay, then I'll take some photos for you tomorrow, and then record some videos, people in Japan are still waiting to see your craftsmanship." Think about which aspect you want to show better. ”

Uncle Smith said, "What is there to think about?" Everyone is an expert, I just need to show them a little bit of the process of making the rod. ”

After 10 o'clock the next morning, Li Junge rushed to Uncle Mingjiang's house, took out a set of Tang shirts of the fourth grandfather, and said to Uncle Mingjiang: "Uncle, look, I have prepared everything for you, can you change this set? ”

Uncle Smith said, "What the hell are you, if you want to do this, I won't record it! ”

Li Junge felt that he was very defeated, and said: "Okay, okay, then I'll leave it to you! ”

Uncle Craftsman said: "People look at craftsmanship, not clothes. ”

Li Junge said: "Okay, from now on you will not exist for me, then you can start working, I will go around next to you to record!"

As soon as he officially started working, Uncle Craftsman's expression became engrossed.

The small bamboo strips changed at his fingertips, and with the gentle push of the knife pressed in his right hand, a thin trace of shavings rolled out of the bamboo strips.

Beautiful flowers bloom under the index finger of the right hand and then gently fall from between the fingers.

Yes, just falling, because the shavings are so thin and light, and a few are even carried away by the breeze.

For the whole afternoon, Uncle Maker repeated these movements, cutting and adjusting them, and the movements were full of rhythm and beauty of music and dance.
