When he got up early the next day, Liu Heming also felt some of his right arm, which was okay.
Don't look at the hammer so many times yesterday, there is not much discomfort in the arm. It is estimated that this is due to the practice of pot gong, which allows me to adapt to such labor intensity.
If the system is not reliable, it is not reliable, and occasionally when it is reliable, it will help you a lot. Loaded the bears into the car again and headed straight for John.
When the bear children saw that they had come to a nasty place again, they were a little lacking in interest.
"Okay, the main thing is to put you at home and don't worry, you wait a while, I'll get you some snacks, so you won't be too lonely. Liu Heming looked at the two bear children and said helplessly.
"Dexter, I thought you wouldn't be here today. John came out of the repair shop and said.
"I'm very interested in striking iron now, and I'm eager to make a finished horseshoe today. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"Okay, we're going to try to get the horseshoe out this afternoon, but if you want to continue building your favorite little things in the future, you'll need to practice a lot. John smiled and nodded.
Liu Heming was able to come over, he was really happy. I thought he was just impulsive yesterday, and I almost called him.
Hearing his words, Liu Heming felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart. Just a casual remark, I was ready to take a few days, and now it's quite interesting to watch John.
I went to Anderson's shop and bought some honey and bread, which was a snack for the bear children. Anyway, as long as there is something to eat, they will be happy.
After returning here, Liu Heming also strictly followed John's guidance and began to play horseshoes.
It was the same bar from yesterday, except that John threw the bar into the small stove and burned the middle part of it.
"You need to make a U-shape for the horseshoe, and you have to beat it first, otherwise it will be easy to break. John explained.
"It's much easier for your horseshoe to be without a size requirement, and if you really need to use it for a horse, you need to measure it beforehand. Horseshoes are horses' shoes, and if they don't fit properly, they are not only not protected, they are also a burden. ”
Liu Heming nodded, he could understand this.
This time I put on goggles, after all, I was going to beat the red-hot iron for a while. Liu Heming has a little bit of expectation in his heart, not only because of the task, but because of the iron itself.
Making an object is fun to make. Liu Heming's heart also expanded slightly, in the future, will he be able to create a kitchen knife and iron pot commonly used in China? The kitchen knife is easy to cut vegetables, and the big pot stew is extra fragrant.
John took out the red-hot iron bar in the middle, and then beat it a few times to Liu Heming to make a look, and left the rest of the work to himself.
The real beating of red-hot iron is not the same as yesterday's practice. Some roasted, and after not beating for a while, Liu Heming began to sweat.
In fact, John decided to let him make the horseshoe directly today, also because he felt that he could get started quickly. Interest has to be cultivated, what if Liu Heming's interest decreases? Where can I find a partner who strikes iron together? And this time, there is no size requirement for the horseshoe, and there is no need to adjust it back and forth at all, so it is very easy to make.
After being hammered several times by Liu Heming, the iron bar finally gained John's approval and could be hammered into a U-shape of a horseshoe.
This requires the tip of the anvil, but John also reminds Liu Heming that he must be smashed. Otherwise, even if the left hand has a lot of strength, it will smash the iron bar into the air.
The first few hits were okay, but just when Liu Heming had just relaxed a little, he smashed a little crookedly. Fortunately, it didn't deviate too much, but just let the iron bar fall to the ground, but this also scared Liu Heming into a cold sweat, and he was more careful when smashing it later.
"Zila"
After lifting the bar from the bucket again, John nodded with satisfaction, "This arc is enough, and now we need to groove the horseshoe so that we can drive nails into the horse's hooves and help fix it." After slotting and punching, polish it a little, and your horseshoe will be considered a success. ”
"It's that simple?" Liu Heming asked with a smile.
"It's very simple, if you have a fast heating device, a skilled blacksmith can make one in less than half an hour, which is still the kind with size requirements. John nodded earnestly.
"This one of yours is a gift for Alex, so you don't need a size requirement, you just need to look good. However, it will take some time to polish in the future, I will send you some sandpaper, and I have a polishing machine here. ”
"By the way, if you're interested, you can also leave a mark on your horseshoe. In this way, every time you succeed in making one in the future, you can leave your own symbol, which will be very fulfilling. ”
Not to mention, Liu Heming was really tempted by John's words.
"John, is it easy to make such a mark?" asked Liu Heming.
"Depending on how your pattern is designed, today we can make a horseshoe first, and then slowly make a marker. John smiled and nodded.
At this time, the horseshoe in the stove was also heated, and in order to reduce the time, it was heated whole. John handed Liu Heming a long-pointed hammer, which looked like a small axe.
"Put it on the part to be grooved and smash it hard. John said.
Liu Heming nodded, put the small hammer in place, and then smashed the hammer in his right hand hard. When the little hammer was taken out, a small groove was smashed out of it.
With this operation, Liu Heming found the doorway, and after the temperature of the horseshoe dropped, he threw it into the furnace again, and then took it out after it was red. Repeat it a few times, and the groove in the middle of the horseshoe is opened.
At this time, John took out a slightly longer iron nail from the side, "This is a tool for punching." It should be noted that the hole in the anvil must be aligned, otherwise it will be smashed. ”
Liu Heming's mood was a little excited, as long as he punched out these holes, he could complete this task, and he would be able to have another lucky draw.
This is a lottery against the sky, sweet potatoes are so magical, if you get some special crops, it is estimated that it will take a year or two to pay off these arrears.
It was similar to what he expected, except that it was not after the punching was completed, but after he had taken the punched horseshoe out of the water, the sound of the system came to his ears.
