Chapter 358: Polishing

At this time, Tian Yu seemed to be a painter who carefully sketched the picture of a beauty, and the tool that looked ugly and clumsy became vivid in his hands.

In addition to thallium, there are also chisel thalliums, which are small thalliums or diamond powder thalliums that can be used to produce rough blanks and further chisel out unwanted parts depending on the depth of the bumps. Bowl thallium, for rotating the bowl. Thallium punching, which is used to punch large flat surfaces. Thallium grinding is used to grind thallium of different sizes to make large samples, such as hands, human heads, etc., so that the work begins to have a more detailed appearance.

These tools may be just tools in Zhang Tianyuan's hands, but in Tian Yu's hands, they can become painters' brushes, so skillful, so harmonious, and even have an obsessive sense of beauty.

Zhang Tianyuan didn't leave, but sat there and watched, he didn't want to affect Tian Yu's work, so he didn't say a word.

At this time, he was like an audience in a movie theater, and he didn't dare to breathe, for fear of destroying this perfect and harmonious picture.

However, he is also an insider in the industry, so he can still understand Tian Yu's technique, and even after this observation, he can completely imitate it, and if he has time in the future, he doesn't have to bother others, and he can make naked pieces.

I don't know how long it took, but when Zhang Tianyuan was also immersed in appreciation, the first exquisite bracelet rough blank was born. Now this bracelet is still just a rough embryo, and the round appearance is full of irregular tricky broken jade, which needs to be ground off with thallium punching and thallium.

The polishing process is actually quite simple, listening to the sound of the stone machine constantly sounding, the bracelet has become very smooth. It caught Zhang Tianyuan's eyes, but now the color of the bracelet was slightly dim. It's impossible to sell it. According to Tian Yu, this is like a sketch of Chinese painting lines. It has not been colored, so it cannot be considered a finished product.

Now this bracelet is a slightly better embryo than the rough blank, and it will be hooked, withdrawn, tucked, and hit again, and finally polished before it is considered a finished product.

If you carve a pendant, the process is more complicated, in order to make it accurate, regular, neat, smooth, but also to carry out such as stacking digging, rolling, some pendants on the petals, the edge of the character clothes to make floating. Punching, hollowing, live ring and other processes.

However, if it is carved, Zhang Tianyuan will not need Tian Yu, he can complete it himself, and because of the help of the earth, the time for him to make zuò carved pieces is even much less than the time for Tian Yu to make zuò naked pieces.

It is because of this that he is only here to watch the excitement now, and he only starts work when Tian Yu is resting.

He didn't want Tian Yu to see the shocking picture, otherwise it would be difficult to explain. Of course, the warehouse they use is not the same, Zhang Tianyuan has nothing to complain about, anyway, he is working for himself.

Make zuò to complete a bracelet. There are often two options, one is that you do one and finish the final polishing.

Another option is to make them all into blanks first. Then polish it uniformly, which will be more efficient. This is mainly done in the case of relatively large quantities.

Although Tian Yu's main purpose this time is to make the two large pieces, there are actually quite a lot of materials left. There are dozens of bracelets alone, not including ring faces, pendants, etc., which also need to be polished, which is not small, so he simply chose to polish it in the end.

After Zhang Tianyuan saw that Tian Yu had completed the first bracelet, he had almost mastered Tian Yu's techniques, so it was actually not interesting for him to stay here, so he simply went to another warehouse and went to do his own thing.

He also has to prepare a wedding gift for Nie Zhen, the twelve true immortal carvings that Nie Zhen wants are to be carved with Fulushou three-color jadeite, and it takes some effort.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, except for the aunt he invited, Nie Qinglan has simply used the kitchen of his villa as his dark cooking research base in the past few days, and has been trying to make something delicious, but he always fails.

Zhang Tianyuan later went to the warehouse twice, that was because Tian Yu began to make the eight immortals across the sea and the Chinese Buddha rhyme, the bracelet and pendant were all completed in only four days, only the final polishing remained, it seems that Tian Yu is ready to polish everything together to the end.

About twenty-five days later, after Tian Yu's efforts to sleep and forget to eat, plus some help from Zhang Tianyuan, twenty-four bracelets, a number of pendants, ring faces, earrings, and two large bare pieces were roughly completed, and only the last process remained, that is, polishing.

The twenty-four bracelets, twelve of which are glass imperial green and twelve are the best red jade, are all top-notch bracelets, which will inevitably cause a sensation if they are to be sold in the store.

Zhang Tianyuan plans to take the Eight Immortals Across the Sea, Chinese Buddha Rhyme, and these 24 bracelets to be exhibited at Xifeng's exhibition this time, so as to promote his company and take the opportunity to open up the jewelry market in Xifeng.

After all, Xifeng is Zhang Tianyuan's hometown, and Shaanzhou people are always more homesick, no matter how good the business in Shangpu and the imperial capital is, it still can't match the attachment to Xifeng, so the jewelry market here must also be opened, and this exhibition, that is the best opportunity.

If there is no polished jade, it looks like it is a divine weapon with no light.

Therefore, in order to make jadeite products truly show their beauty, the polishing stage is absolutely indispensable.

Polishing is the final perfection of jade, the jargon is called bright, light live, the polishing process includes grinding, brightening, cleaning, waxing, wiping several steps, after these processes, the surface of the jade is finely polished, become smooth and delicate, bright color.

Fine grinding, also known as roughness, refers to the use of polishing tools to polish the rough surface of jade to be delicate and smooth, which is the preparation before polishing. However, when grinding, the shape and ornamentation of the jade cannot be damaged.

Covering the light refers to the slow friction of polishing powder and stone on the surface of the jade to make the surface of the ware bright. Polishing powder generally uses red powder and green powder. The process is to mix it with an appropriate amount of water and oil, apply it to a wheel made of felt, leather, cotton, etc., and rub it slowly. until the surface of the jade is smoothed.

Cleaning refers to the use of a solution to clean the dirt from the jade.

Waxing refers to rubbing paraffin wax on hot jade and rubbing it repeatedly with a cloth after cooling. to increase the brightness and finish of the jade surface.

Of course, different jade. There are subtle differences in the polishing process, but that's pretty much it.

In addition, there are two main ways of polishing: manual polishing and mechanical polishing, and the polishing is to use the vibrating machine to add polishing materials, and the general round carving of small jade pieces normally takes 2 to 3 days to complete. Although manual grinding and polishing is longer than automatic grinding and polishing, the general grinding and polishing time is longer and the cost is higher, but the effect is also better, and the three-dimensional and carved peak style of carving and decoration are retained.

Tian Yu originally planned to use manual polishing. It's for the effect, but Zhang Tianyuan still built a machine to polish, because the speed is faster, as for the problem of machine polishing, it is not a problem for Zhang Tianyuan at all, his storage is to make up for the shortcomings of machine polishing.

"But I didn't bring a polishing machine this time!" Tian Yu said with some embarrassment.

"Don't be afraid, I have prepared the polishing machine for you a long time ago, and I saw you preparing to polish together before. I was afraid that it would take too much time, so I prepared a polishing machine. Zhang Tianyuan smiled and directly unpacked a cardboard box, which contained a small polishing machine for polishing in private workshops. It couldn't be more suitable.

"Boss Zhang, you are really thoughtful, this polishing machine is the latest, right?" Tian Yu glanced at the polishing machine and asked with a smile.

"Well, this one is the latest. Not only can it be automatically vacuumed, but it also has the effect of vibration. And there is also the function of ultrasonic cleaning, and the oil and wax can be carried out in the oven. I also listened to Master Liu Jinglin's introduction, so I bought this one, it's not bad, right?" Zhang Tianyuan said a little proudly.

"It's good, but I can talk about it in front of you, no matter how good the polishing machine is, the final effect is definitely not as good as manual polishing, you can think about it." Tian Yu reminded again.

"I understand this, otherwise I wouldn't have spent 40,000 yuan to buy such a good polishing machine, you must know that the ordinary polishing machine on the market now is only about 1,000 yuan. Zhang Tianyuan smiled: "I understand the shortcomings you said, don't worry, I'll help you solve it, I have a secret recipe here." ”

"Ah, I see, did you contact the Tianyuan Jade Emperor?Did he teach you some good method?" Tian Yu suddenly remembered someone and asked.

"Designer Tian is really smart, it's true, but the Tianyuan Jade Emperor still insists on refusing to meet the living, I'm really sorry. Zhang Tianyuan sighed and said.

"It doesn't matter, it's a privilege for me to be able to cooperate with his old man. Tian Yu said this, but he was thinking in his heart, this time he must take a good look at what Cheng Cheng can repair some of the shortcomings caused by the polishing of the machine to what extent.

After all, he only heard the name of the Tianyuan Jade Emperor, but did not see him, and he didn't know if this person was really as powerful as rumored.

Tian Yu spoke, carefully picked up a pair of bracelets from the table, and threaded them into a plush cylindrical protrusion in the polishing machine, and then picked up the cotton pad configured by the polishing machine and padd it on it, and put another bracelet on it, until three bracelets were inserted, Tian Yu did not stop, in fact, under normal circumstances, this kind of state-of-the-art polishing machine, there is no problem with wearing ten bracelets at a time, but Tian Yu is afraid that something will happen, so he will just wear three, after all, if it is broken, it will only be broken three, and the loss will be much smaller。

Moreover, he sprinkled the polishing powder that Zhang Tianyuan bought from Xifeng evenly in it and covered the lid of the polishing machine, and the process was over, but it was actually a very simple thing.

"It seems quite simple, how long does it take to do this? I heard others say that even if it is polished, it will take two to three days for a small carving?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

"No, you are the most advanced polishing machine, and we polish the bare parts, not carved parts, the time will be shorter, about five or six hours can be over, or a few days, that is, the polishing time of the last Eight Immortals across the sea and Huaxia Buddha Yun will be longer, about fifteen days, but you can polish two pieces together at a time." Tian Yu explained.

"It's not a problem to drag it out a little longer, the key is to don't have a problem. Zhang Tianyuan said.

"As long as there is no problem with the machine, then there will be no problem with polishing, so let's wait, my task can basically be said to be almost completed so far." Tian Yu was also relieved when he said this. (To be continued......)
