Chapter 7 Purple Sandalwood and White Mahemble

Chen Wen didn't know how he got back to his room.

Jiang Qiuyi, who was wearing light pajamas, sat on his lap, so that he couldn't even read seriously.

It wasn't until it was more than ten o'clock when he went to bed that he got out of Jiang Qiuyi's "suppression".

After returning to the room, Chen Wen received a WeChat message from his uncle, saying that the wood had been sent and it was estimated that it would arrive in a day or two.

Chen Wen thanked him, and then took a bath and went to sleep.

……

Saturday, May 24.

Chen Wen received a large box of wood from his uncle.

He moved the box to the crafting room, dismantled it, and placed the five different pieces of wood on a long high table.

Three of them are woods – oak, lotus, pear.

These three types of wood are more common in furniture and have a moderate hardness, so if they are used to make wooden swords, they should be relatively easy.

But since you want to make an interpreter, you must strive for excellence in hardness.

So Chen Wen set his sights on the other two kinds of wood.

The first is a long strip of light white with silver, according to Uncle Chen Wen's introduction, this kind of wood is called white mahogany, and its comprehensive hardness is enough to rank among the top 20 in the world.

Chen Wen picked it up and tossed it twice, feeling a little light and not very heavy.

Putting down the white mahogany, Chen Wen moved his gaze to the last wood next to him—rosewood.

This wood is purple-black throughout, slightly rough to the touch, and heavier than white mahogany.

In terms of hardness, rosewood is also not far behind, and can often be ranked among the top ten in the world's wood hardness.

Of course, Uncle Chen Wen has harder wood, but it is too hard, and it is polished little by little by hand, which is no different from torturing people.

In fact, the hardness of white mahogany and purple sandalwood alone is beyond the scope of normal carpentry.

If you are a novice, it is obviously better to use the three relatively less hard woods above.

Of course, Chen Wen didn't care about this, so he picked up the rosewood and weighed it.

With the size of the wood, if there were no big mistakes, it should be enough for him to make two swords.

This is just right, a explainer, a dark chaser.

As for the flickering light promised to Jiang Qiuyi, it was good to use white mahogany.

After deciding, Chen Wen turned on the camera prepared next to him and spread the design drawings drawn in the past two days on the table.

Wearing a mask to prevent sawdust from entering his mouth and nose, Chen Wen officially began to work on rosewood.

To make a wooden sword, there are actually no high requirements in terms of skills.

Draw auxiliary lines, use a saw to make the initial sword shape, then fix the wood with a vice, and use a gold file for preliminary polishing.

This step does not require particularly high skills, but is more of a test of one's own physical strength and endurance.

Because of the ultra-high hardness of rosewood itself, this part of the test is also extremely difficult.

Therefore, even Chen Wen, who has been good at carpentry since he was a child, has to spend a week slowly polishing it to make the sword body slowly take shape.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that he usually has to go to school.

In addition, unlike ordinary wooden swords, swords from anime often have another characteristic, that is, the image is more exaggerated.

The tip of the interpreter's sword is okay, relatively modest, but the end of the sword is a bit exaggerated, in the shape of a spiked arc.

In addition, the hilt of the sword is also more pompous, especially the lattice, that is, the part that protrudes between the blade and the handle, which is a very peculiar shape semi-cross.

This part also requires him to carve a single piece of wood.

In the production process, considering that it needs to be made into a video clip and uploaded to it, there are some key steps, Chen Wen also needs to close the camera field of view and shoot close-ups.

This is a big disruption to the whole production process.

Especially sometimes the camera has to be placed between the wood and Chen Wen's body, so that his posture when polishing is very uncomfortable, and it is not easy to exert force.

Fortunately, these difficulties can be overcome slowly, and Chen Wen also enjoys it very much.

……

Knock knock.

Knock knock!

Squeak~

Jiang Qiuyi's little head poked in from outside, and a stabbing sound came into her ears.

At this time, Chen Wen in the manual room was standing in front of the table, the vise was fixed with a long strip of purple-black wood, and the gold file in his hand was constantly rubbing against the wood.

Clusters of black wood chips fell on the table and floor, making the room look messy.

Seeing that Chen Wen was still immersed in the world of carpentry, Jiang Qiuyi didn't bother him, just silently withdrew and took a broom and dustpan, and came in to clean quietly next to him.

It was about six o'clock in the evening, and the light in the room was dimming.

Jiang Qiuyi turned on the light, and the bright light that suddenly appeared made Chen Wen wake up from his world in an instant.

"What time is it?" After seeing Jiang Qiu, Chen Wen looked at the sky outside the window and asked.

"It's past six o'clock, it's time for dinner, Ah Sneeze!" Jiang Qiu smiled lightly, and then suddenly sneezed.

"I'll get you a mask, bring it next time you come in." Chen Wen looked down at the neat ground, his eyes moved slightly, and he admonished.

In the past, Chen Wen only made some gadgets, and there were not too many sawdust.

Today, for the first time I made a "big project", the sawdust in the room was flying around, and it was easy to suck it into my mouth and nose without wearing a mask.

"I know~" Jiang Qiu dragged Chen Wen's body out, "I bought the ingredients today and cooked dinner for you by myself~"

"You know how to cook?" Chen Wen was stunned.

In his impression, Jiang Qiuyi had never cooked before.

The conditions in the small family are very good, coupled with the various love of his parents, Jiang Qiuyi has no chance to contact the kitchen at all.

In this regard, Chen Wen's experience is basically equal to zero.

"I've already asked for advice." Jiang Qiuyi raised his smooth chin, "You just sit in the living room and wait~"

Chen Wen frowned: "Pay attention to safety." ”

"I know~" Jiang Qiu walked into the kitchen with an apron, turned his head and said, "The video of my million-fan cos welfare has been uploaded, you remember to enjoy it~"

Closing the glass door of the kitchen, Jiang Qiuyi took out his mobile phone and opened WeChat to seek help from the "master".

Jiang Qiuyi: Meng Meng! I'm going to start burning noodles! Help me!

Lin Meng: Why did it drag on so late? Didn't you buy things and go home at five o'clock before?

Jiang Qiuyi: Eh, my boyfriend is at work, and I accompany him for a while~ (shy)

Lin Meng: (Critical hit. JPG)

Lin Meng: Let's open the video, it's more convenient.

"Lin Meng" invites you to make a video call.

Jiang Qiuyi accepted the invitation, pointed the camera at the cutting board, and put the noodles, tomatoes, beef and eggs he had just bought.

And the charming face of "Lin Meng" also appeared on her mobile phone screen, as well as a gaze into the abyss that was far more unfathomable than Jiang Qiu.

"What am I going to do?" Jiang Qiuyi picked up the kitchen knife and asked cautiously.
