"Fourth young master, the thing is ready, you see?" Miao Yuan's respectful words interrupted Zhao Xin's imagination.

Looking at Miao Yuan, who had an expired face, Zhao Xin reached out and took over the 10 made bowstrings, about four millimeters, which were quite fine, similar to what he thought, after pulling the lala, he felt very elastic, nodded and said: "Very good job, let's go back!" ”

After getting the bowstring, Zhao Xin returned to the woodworking workshop, the difference between the English longbow and the Chinese bow is that it can be formed at one time, instead of using many kinds of materials like a composite bow, some materials must be integrated into a certain period of time, and it takes a lot of time to complete the overall production. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the manufacture of longbows in England, some skilled craftsmen can complete the production of a longbow in a maximum of 2 hours, which is also one of the advantages of longbows, when the traditional carpenters in China have become craftsmen who make longbows, this number is too large.

To be precise, it is necessary to maintain a certain curvature, not to pull in place at one time, one by one slowly stretching in place, in the process of stretching, it is also necessary to slow down and rest and release stress, which can not be done by hand, only by relying on tools.

Make 10 simple hardwood shelves, this Wang Qingyuan has already made, what he wants to do, is to tell about this bow training.

Bow training is a key point, elm has a lot of elasticity, but not a rubber ball, if you forcibly pull him into place, either break it, or hurt the bow body, resulting in a lack of strength in the end, there must be a mere process.

This point, which is also emphasized in the video, has a little bit of skill, especially in the process of bow training, which is adjusted according to the actual situation.

Zhao Xin is more unprofessional at this point, professional is these carpenters, Zhao Xin only needs to give a concept, such as specific requirements, what kind of curvature the bow should achieve, and the whole must maintain a certain elasticity, which is a difficult thing for Zhao Xin to master, but for carpenters, it is a daily contact, and they can even draw inferences from the concept given by Zhao Xin.

After several exchanges, Zhao Xin didn't say more, said a lot, made a lot of mistakes, he just made a request, specifically mentioning that after reaching the limit of what he could bear at one time, stay for a quarter of an hour, and wait until all the strength is emanated, and then continue, so that it may be more than seven or eight times, and as little as five or six times of bow training.

The same thing as a flat pole is much thinner than the general flat arm, and such a flat arm seems to be a little weaker, and the largest seems to be about one stone, which is much weaker than the traditional flat arm of 1.5 stone or even 2 stones.

Listening to Zhao Xin's narration, all the carpenters, including Wang Qingyuan, realized that it turned out that they were going to make bows, real bows and arrows, looking so big, they should be of good strength. This is a little better than before, simply making toys, the mentality is a little better, but it's just a little better, because how to look at it, this bow is not a very powerful bow, and the meaning of the toy is a little more.

The bow is easy to make, what to do with the bowstring, there are also hunters in Miaojiazhuang, they will go hunting in the nearby mountains, the bowstrings of the hunters are made of a lot of things, just Zhao Xin went out, he didn't bring anything, when he came back, Miao Yuan's hands, but there were a few things similar to silk threads, I think it should be a bowstring.

If you don't look at this, maybe Wang Qingyuan will take a look at it, after reading it, he was stunned, not the kind of bowstring he thought, composite bowstring, or metal bowstring, it is actually silk, although silk is also one of the materials of the bowstring, but it has never been the main material, and its elasticity is not enough is the key reason.

At that time, he was only 12 years old, came out of his home, and worked as an archer helper for a period of time in Baozhou City through a relationship, thinking it was a good profession, but the archer's task was heavy, there was no opportunity to make money, all of them were the tasks of the army and the government.

Wang Qingyuan was interested in learning, and when he had no future, he turned to an industry that had something to do with archsmiths, carpenters, who learned in the carpenter industry, and finally came to Miaojiazhuang and became the main master of the carpentry workshop.

A single bow made of a simple wooden stick, such an unreliable bowstring, is it made for his own play, but wouldn't it be nice to get a small bow, make it so big, at least about 1.6 meters, the average adult man, a little smaller, really can't use it.

This doubt has always haunted Wang Qingyuan's heart before, but now, in less than half an hour, the fastest craftsman has completed the bow body and has a bowstring, as long as the bow training is over, the overall production can be completed.

Bow training, is to gradually bend the bow, the flexibility of the wood, can only be regarded as good, elm is much stronger than ordinary hardwood, but there is also a limit, if he is forcibly bent, it will definitely destroy the structure of the entire wood.

It must come again and again, after pulling to a certain angle, stay for 20 minutes to 30 minutes, this is a key, only after the stress or everything is successfully released, can we continue to carry on the foundation.

Take the longbow, do it very well, basically according to the one he made, under the premise of no automated tools, just with simple woodworking tools, you can process this in a short time, according to the length, width and height, and according to the most suitable aspects of the wood, which is also a real test of the level of skill.

Processing such a simple thing, it is very satisfying for these carpenters, most of the strength is shown, the whole bow body is relatively beautiful, in Zhao Xin's opinion, these are useless, the longbow is not a beautiful weapon, many videos show that the longbow is very simple, smooth, and does not depict anything, in this case, these perfections are somewhat useless.

This is only the first time to make a longbow, and Zhao Xin did not interfere, but for the sake of coming, along with their gradual proficiency, Zhao Xin will form a standardized work procedure, which will reduce the cost in the middle as much as possible, if this time can be limited to three quarters of an hour, this is a more perfect,

Pull down a certain degree, and then rest for about a quarter of an hour, about four or five times, or even seven or eight times, to be able to complete the entire process of bow training, but today is a lot of time, Zhao Xin can wait, in the first bow training, the second one is also done at the same time, and then the third, the fourth, a total of 10 shelves, rotating the bow training.

Zhao Xin found that it seemed that compared with the bow body before the production, the process of training the bow made them feel more happy, because to ensure that the performance of the bow body is not affected by the reach, stretching the bow to a sufficient angle, this is a very test of skill.

This practice is a certain threat to the bow body, and even causes irreversible consequences, after all, at the limit, a slight increase in strength will exceed the limit that the bow body can bear, and it is easy to cause irreversible consequences.

Zhao Xin didn't stop it, it's just a matter of one or two hours, even if he needs time, he has to race against time, he doesn't care about a day or two, as long as today's experiment is successful, a little summary, it can be standardized, according to what Miao Yuan said, 12 craftsmen can be used as the core, and more than 30 small workers can be completed together, so that the efficiency will be higher.

I didn't expect that in the small Miaojiazhuang, an excellent weapon could also be mass-produced, Zhao Xinzhong silently calculated, and then knew in his heart, looking back at the bow training frame, the first longbow has been gradually formed, and has done 5 bow training, and after a quarter of an hour of rest, under the premise of releasing most of the stress, he will immediately prepare for the last bow training.
