Zhao Xin began to teach hand-in-hand, about the practice of the English longbow, in the video, the description is very detailed, in fact, it is relatively simple to make. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Among the elms, it is between 2.2 meters and 2.4 meters, and the length should be cut off, considering that ordinary villagers will not be like the forbidden army, through careful selection, the height is higher, and most of the bows will be limited to less than 1.6 meters, or even 1.5 meters, which needs to be calculated.

The selected wood is made into long strips of moderate thickness, and the wood is relatively compact, which part of it is close to, where the material is better, and it is easier to produce the finished product, and the stability and reliability of the bow will be greater.

The wood that has grown into roots is made into chips of a certain width and thickness, with a moderate thickness, and these new timbers are not widely used in the woodworking workshop, and some of them are even only cleaned of bark, which is suitable for cutting. If you need a larger strong bow, you can make the wood chips slightly thinner and make the bow body by multi-layer extrusion and composite molding, which can be stacked in more than 5 layers.

This can be done later, for now, just a manufacturing process, starting with the simplest, the most traditional, and the most basic English longbow.

A bunch of carpenters, stunned looked at Zhao Xin, told some carpentry production methods, they didn't know what Zhao Xin was going to do, Zhao Xin didn't say the final result, to give them the feeling, this thing is like a flat burden, at most a little thinner, the manufacturing material is a little more exquisite.

In fact, it is also true that the overall image of the English longbow is like a smaller flat pole, which cannot bear heavier weights, that is, the sheath of the binding bow string is a little more complicated, and this complexity is also very simple for the ordinary handicraft enthusiast, or for the bow and arrow enthusiast, and for the professional carpenter.

In order to speed up, Zhao Xin specifically emphasized that there is no need for complex decoration, as long as the bow body is smooth and there are not too many burrs, several big workers are a little stunned, not because it is too difficult, it is too simple, especially Zhao Xin has finished speaking, let them do it according to the time, the carpenter is still in a circle, this does not need to carve, do not need to draw complex patterns, just a wood creation, or the simplest kind, not to mention them carpenters, come to an apprentice, you can make it.

"What's the matter, isn't the young master clear enough, do you want to say it again?" Miao Yuan saw that Zhao Xin had finished speaking, and said anxiously to invite credit.

Several carpenters looked at Wang Qingyuan with some embarrassment, not knowing what to say, Miao Yuan was dissatisfied again, and said angrily: "Is it difficult, can't you do it, how can I listen to it so simply, I can understand it, I can't do it, what else do you want to do!" ”

Compared with Miao Yuan, who didn't understand carpentry at all, Zhao Xin understood a little more, this is really not difficult, but too simple, just like when he asked Sun Ji before, when he could shoot the things that were thrown out, Sun Ji didn't answer him at all, it was a technical insult to him.

The longbow is so simple, for later generations, the era of mechanization, some enthusiasts with the video, can be compared to the gourd painting scoop to do, in this era, can come out of the craftsman, which one is simple, each skill is superb, can rely on a set of simple woodworking tools, completely handmade a series of beautiful furniture and woodworking utensils, which is far stronger than the so-called carpentry in later generations.

The carpenter training of this era is a master-apprentice model, from the initial production of ordinary wood, to the processing, storage, and preparation of wood, and then to the processing of some simple structures, complex structural processing, hollowing, carving, these step by step, is a mature carpenter, a carpenter from the beginning to learn to be a teacher, less than three or five years, more than ten years, long-term work and reasonable training, created a solid foundation.

When it comes to the identity of a master craftsman, among carpenters, it is already considered very high, and now, let such a master craftsman do some apprentice work, without turning his face on the spot, it is already to give face, of course, it is not Zhao Xin's face, it is because Miao Yuan is in charge.

The English longbow, as the foundation of Zhao Xin's future foothold, is also the only elite force that can be mastered at present, these carpenters are indispensable, maybe in the future, if all this is promoted, cultivate a group of professional craftsmen, they can not do it, but they also need to master the quality. They will even be involved in some of the research and development, and they will also need to experiment if they need more bow power to make a stronger English long-timer.

Seeing Miao Yuan's political situation of using force, Zhao Xin secretly said that it was not good, this part of the carpenter was the foundation of his foothold, and took the initiative to say: "I know that it is a little difficult for the masters to do this, this is just a simple verification, and in the future, it will be more complicated, worthy of your craftsmanship." ”

Miao Yuan was a little embarrassed, he didn't understand anything, but he wasn't very proficient in carpentry, Zhao Xin said it simply, he didn't think about it simply, the requirements that the noble man said in person were so meticulous, would it be simple, simple things would not be seen by the nobles.

But I didn't expect that this thing was really simple, so simple that a carpenter didn't want to do it, but the words had already come out, and he couldn't change his words, so he could only say a little fiercely: "Did you hear it, the young master said so, you still don't do it, be careful of itchy skin!" ”

Seeing Miao Yuan's face, the young master took the initiative to speak, coupled with Miao Yuan's annoyed and angry attitude, no matter how arrogant he was, it was impossible to stand up, Wang Qingyuan was good to say, he was a deputy owner, and Miao Jiazhuang was more cooperative than subordinate, and others could be in Miao Yuan's hands, whether they were domestic servants or domestic slaves, their whole family lived in Miao Jiazhuang, and Miao Yuan could be said to control everything about them.

The situation is stronger than people, no one is stupid, seeing Wang Qingyuan's silence, even the most stupid carpenter feels different, for the so-called arrogance, he doesn't want his life, this is not a choice that ordinary people can make, as soon as he thinks of this, the whole carpenter workshop began to be lively, most of the craftsmen have picked up tools, do it honestly, measure the length, choose the right wood, Zhao Xin said those, some are correct, some are his conjectures, these carpenters are experts, and they will be adjusted quickly.

Wang Qingyuan smiled bitterly, and was about to do it, Zhao Xin grabbed him and asked him to select a few workers, the longbow is relatively easy, and it doesn't require much craftsmanship, but the English longbow is not only a piece of wood to make the bow body, but also needs to train the bow.

To put it bluntly, the bow is placed in a certain position and angle, and the bow is constantly fine-tuned and squeezed to reach a certain arc.

Zhao Xin said simply, Wang Qingyuan thought it was a difficult job, when he heard it, it was just a few hard supports, he had the existing shelf, and after making simple adjustments, he could make it, he took two workers, that is, half an hour, he could complete seven or eight, Zhao Xin asked for 10, because the first batch of longbows, that is, 10, hard work, almost after others did it, this shelf was also done.

In the carpentry workshop, there was a series of sounds, some carpenters with fast hands and feet, to make a longbow, may only take half an hour, the slowest is not more than half an hour, less than an hour, this on the one hand also shows the simplicity of the English longbow, on the other hand, it is also the craftsmanship of these craftsmen, the first time to do, can be adjusted according to experience, so that the final yield is quite high.

Simply looked at the carpenters, their starting methods are different, the first time they do it is quite skilled, Zhao Xin thought about it, these are professional carpenters, better than him, some things don't need him to say, just ask for a little bit.
