Chapter 58: The Window Completes
Of course, there is another difficulty in firing glass, that is, the problem of blowing, but these have nothing to do with Liu Mulei.
Because he only made simple glass planes, not glass tools, there was no need for blowing techniques.
Liu Mulei held the long wooden stick, stirring the grit, making it melt into gelatinous form more quickly.
And this cauldron for boiling is also made of clay, considering the reality of the situation.
As for the possibility of whether it can be made into glass, Liu Mulei does not have great hopes, after all, the conditions are too simple.
Ten minutes later.
Liu Mulei felt that the sand was melting, and his heart was slightly happy, which proved that glass could be refined.
Time passed quietly, and under the grinding tools in the kiln, there were pieces of glass.
"If you succeed, it's up to you to see how it turns out." Liu Mulei put down the long stick, rubbed his sore arm, and walked towards the grinding tools.
Drag them all out of the kiln, and after the coal is out, the kiln is very dark.
Looking at the glass with the help of the sun, Liu Mulei couldn't help but smile with joy.
Only two of them have tiny bubbles, and the rest of the glass is not perfect, but it still looks good.
Now that the glass is ready, then it is the window shelf, and Liu Mulei picked up the woodcutter and walked on the mountain.
shouted that Xiaohua was waiting up and down with the black cow, as for Xiaohei, the naughty ghost would not be so well-behaved.
Before Liu Mulei reached the mountain, he ran to the front to open the way, looking energetic and had nowhere to vent.
With the existence of woodcutters and weapons, it is very easy to cut down big trees, and in less than two hours, more than 20 big trees are harvested.
After all of them were dragged down the mountain, let the black bull pull them back to Xiuyunzhuang, and now the black bull's work is very hard.
Although the road repair work was suspended, the gravel did not stop, and the black bull was arranged to step on the gravel in the morning.
In the afternoon, let it reach the tributary of the great river, and use its incomparably large body to rub up the sand at the bottom of the tributary.
After lunch, Liu Mulei picked up a woodcutter and split these big trees into planks of different lengths.
Without the carpenter's tools, some trees would be wasted, and there is no way to do it.
Once it was done, it was time to sharpen the grooves where the glass was placed, and there was no glue to be used here.
Carefully place the glass into the groove and punch a number of tiny wooden nails around the edges of the glass.
In case the glass falls off the window shelves, the cement is mixed and what is ready to secure the window.
The window shelves are fixed to the windows of the house, and then they are filled with cement until the cement has set.
It's completely finished, but unfortunately, because there are no loose pages for the window, the window can't be opened to the side.
If you want to open the window, you can only open it to the top, but because the glass is fixed with wooden nails.
If the glass is fixed on the inside, when the window is jacked, then the weight of the supporting glass is only a few wooden nails.
Liu Mulei didn't have the confidence to let these wooden nails hold up the glass, so he installed the glass that could support the window outside.
There are no outsiders coming to Xiuyunzhuang, so there is no need to worry about the glass being stolen, otherwise he would not dare to be so bold.
With the presence of windows, the temperature has risen significantly when entering the room, especially in today's cold weather.
After Liu Mulei walked around, checked that the fixed window shelves were in good condition, and then started to make furniture.
At least I got the bed out first, and I slept on the broken bed that was lame and clicked when I turned around.
There is always a fear that it will fall apart one day, although there is no planer for carpentry, and there is no guarantee that the water level will be consistent.
The use of a woodcutter can at least ensure that the planks are dry and slippery and do not have the presence of wooden thorns, although a little uneven.
These are small things, even the bed legs are very difficult to do, but there are axes and kitchen knives.
Or from each plank, dig out the upper, middle and lower three openings, originally only to make four bed legs.
Then I thought that this large bed was made of wooden planks, and it was very brutally spliced.
The force is all on the wooden pegs to which they are attached, in this case, if only four legs are made.
So when turning back and forth on the big bed, will the wooden nails not hold on and break directly?
Therefore, Liu Mulei would rather be troublesome and make the big bed look ugly, but also do a good job of safety.
In this way, the legs are made according to the depth of each notch, and then according to their depth.
Fortunately, it is very easy to make bed legs, directly use a woodcutter, according to the size and length of the opening, and cut the convex groove on the bed leg.
Then just hit it with a hammer, Liu Mulei thought about it and took out the rope made of bamboo.
With so many legs around the bed, there is no need to worry about the bed breaking in the middle, but to prevent cracking.
Liu Mulei carried the big bed and walked to the master bedroom, looking for a place to put it away, although the window had not yet been made.
But I don't have to guard against putting things, and I have to make a little nest of little flowers and little black in this corner.
Don't worry about hygiene, they will go outside to solve it, and they are very spiritual.
Although Xiao Hei is dirty every time he plays, every time he returns home, he washes it before he comes back, not to mention, the stinky little flowers.
"Make a strong, warm nest." Liu Mulei thought about it and walked towards the firewood room, which covers the widest area here.
Although it is a firewood room, it can store not only firewood, but also the function of a warehouse in Xiuyunzhuang.
Like pickled wild boar, the eggs laid by pheasants and ducks are stored here.
It can be said that entering the firewood room is similar to entering a small square, but the things stored inside are very miscellaneous.
But it is not cluttered, on the contrary, according to their respective areas, they are placed very neatly and very organized.
When I came to the thatched area, I pulled a large handful of thatch and quickly weaved it in less than a few minutes.
The semi-circular nest appeared in front of him, picked up and walked outside, using the rabbit fur left before.
One by one put into the nest, homeopathic with a kitchen knife in the rabbit fur to open a few small holes, with bamboo silk fixed in the nest.
Once you've got it, place it next to the big bed so they don't sometimes jump out of the nest and sleep next to the bed.
Liu Mulei looked at the big bed, which still felt a little wet, took out a large plate of coal, and lit it not only to drive away the moisture, but also to dry the bed.
After all, fresh trees are used in the manufacture of large beds, which in itself violates the rules of wooden furniture, so to speak.
After getting these, Liu Mulei left them alone, and burned them for a few days in a row, almost able to dry the bed!
