A large photo was printed, and Zhang Chi felt that he had to hang this one on the wall of his study.

"Is there a picture frame?"

If you want to hang this thing, you naturally have to have a photo frame, there are not many Zhang Chi of this thing, and even if there is, it is a trumpet, and you can't get such a big photo, so you can only ask your daughter-in-law.

Merica shook her head: "I don't have it there, you can make one yourself."

Sun Yanping exclaimed: "Is this thing still freshly made?" ”

Merika smiled and said, "What's so bad about this, there are so many tools in the tool room, it's very easy to make a picture frame."

For Sun Yanping, these things are all things to drive into the car and walk on the street, where would he think of doing it himself. It's different here, generally speaking, many people's photo frames are made by themselves, and the materials are simple, nothing more than wood and glass, both of which are not lacking in the ranch.

This may also be the same as the fact that the average American home is large, everyone will store a little something, and as long as it is a large house with a single family, most people have a tool room.

"Then I'll make one, do you want it?"

Seeing Merika shake her head, Zhang Chi turned to her sister and brother-in-law.

Sun Yanping smiled: "I don't need to, I can't just go home with a camera here, in fact, I don't need to send an email directly with a camera." Forget it, I'll go with you to have a look."

Sun Yanping thought that there was nothing to do now anyway, so he thought about going to see it with his brother-in-law.

Zhang Juan said: "Why don't you fix the photo? Uncle and aunt are going back soon, you can't run again then, right? ”

Sun Yanping said: "Let Dachi have time to send it over, just right, make a few more photo frames, and then send the photos to the uncle and aunt when the time comes."

Zhang Chi nodded, then took his brother-in-law downstairs and came to the tool room.

The material is easy to find, there is a lot of wood here, Zhang Chi found two square trees about two meters long, the red wood grain looks quite beautiful, this is a kind of local red pine, not only looks beautiful, the wood itself also has a faint pine fragrance.

This pine fragrance is not like ordinary pine, it smells a little pungent, the aroma of this pine is relatively light, it seems to be absent, and it has a little refreshing effect.

This thing is quite cheap here, because of the large production, so he is generally used to build a platform or something like that.

Found the material, Zhang Chi came directly to the side of the table saw, directly picked up the pen and began to draw lines on the wood, the photo frame must not use square materials, how thick it is, the square materials have to be cut, Zhang Chi only needs to be about one centimeter thick.

The ruler was good, the line was drawn, Zhang Chi put on the wooden goggles, put on gloves on his hands, and turned on the power switch of the saw.

As Zhang Chi pushed the timber into the work area of the table saw, the rustling sound of the saw wheel and the material immediately sounded.

The work was very simple and did not take much time, and the two pieces of wood became three thin strips of wood one centimeter thick in Zhang Chi's hands.

After adjusting the table saw, Zhang Chi divided the two thin wooden strips into two again, and then put the separated wooden strips together, made small holes in the side of the wooden strips with an electric drill, and pinned the wooden strips, so that they could be put together into a whole plank.

The outer edge of the frame is straight, and there are two small steps inside, the outermost small step is the size of the photo, and the innermost is the position where the organic transparent board is left.

It is also easy to open this small step, there is a special corner extracting machine, adjust the position and paste the wooden strip over, and the two small steps can be easily cut.

During the whole process, Sun Yanping watched from the side, muttering incessantly while watching.

"No wonder you say it's very simple, it turns out that you have everything here, I think you have more carpentry tools than our county, there are four large and small table saws, and two vices, if you don't say it, as soon as you come in, others will think that you have arrived at the wood factory" Sun Yanping said.

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "This thing is really not a pitch on my side, many things in the ranch have to be made by themselves, if the price of buying ready-made is too high, you also know that the labor in the United States is terrible, what if you don't do it yourself?" You're going to have a broken tire on the road, and you want someone to change your wheels, and you'll spend about as much money as you can buy a new tire."

"You don't have to be so exaggerated, right?"

Sun Yanping stretched out his hand and fiddled with the vice seat next to him, this thing is quite heavy, the entire table top looks like it is all made of iron plates, the table top is about three square meters, and there are two vice in a diagonal position, and the rotating rod on the vice is made by Sun Yanping.

"No, you haven't seen anything more exaggerated, when I have time to take you to meet the tool room of the Rika family, they even have small door cranes, and the smaller car repair shops in China are not well equipped with their homes," Zhang Chi said while holding a pen and drawing an oblique line on the material.

After the line is finished, go directly to the saw, and immediately the edges of the photo frames of different sizes and lengths will come out.

The edges of the frame can not be installed together at this time, and the strips of the same photo frame must be riveted with a slotting machine, and the embossed shape is opened on one side, and the concave font must be opened on the other side, so that the two sides are just stuck together.

It's not all about getting stuck together, you have to add a wooden dowel to it, and then use a sander to smooth out the entire surface.

From coarse to fine, after two sandings, the beautiful wood grain effect comes out, and finally the plant varnish is applied, or a line of words is written on the front of the picture frame with a red iron in front of the varnish, or something small is painted as a decoration.

Put the cut organic board, the back plate on, install a small bracket, so that the photo frame is ready, of course, the photo frame can not be used now, you have to wait for the outside varnish to dry.

The photo frame is done, not only done, but the simple photo frame sold on the market is definitely not comparable with Zhang Chi's craftsmanship.

Sun Yanping saw the end from the beginning, and his eyes were full of envy: "When I make a fortune, I must build such a tool room at home when I make a villa." If nothing else, even if a friend comes over, I'll take it out and put a coin. Today can be regarded as a time of pretending to be by you! ”

Zhang Chi was quite speechless, he didn't care about his brother-in-law at all, and buried himself in painting all the photo frames with varnish.

Sun Yanping watched his brother-in-law paint, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Do you have any better materials here, don't pine wood, it's more advanced and more expensive."

"What do you do?" Zhang Chi asked curiously.

Sun Yanping said: "I want to make a hand-worn box for your sister, the kind of ...... that is so big and has a few small drawers."

Sun Yanping said while gesturing.

"Just buy it directly," Zhang Chi said.

Zhang Chi knows this thing, and now the so-called white-collar women are all buying bags, carrying a small bag of tens of thousands, and they feel that their temperament has been sublimated, and the men in their company are not worthy of themselves now.

But a little pursuit, or more particular, seems to be more cultured, like this kind of handmade box, from the material to the carving, and finally to the design, anyway, can reflect their own taste and extraordinary.

Merika didn't like it, she didn't like it.

But Zhang Chi has seen it, who has he seen? Merika's cousin Jennifer's, that thing is an accessory on the car, and Zhang Chi also knows for the first time that one accessory can be exchanged for more than a dozen cars.

But Jennifer uses antiques.

"It's too expensive, your sister sees that people want it, the general workmanship is rough, the craftsmanship is good, and the Haihuang material is expensive...... You see what good material is here, I will pay for it, but don't be too expensive, I can't afford it if it's too expensive, and I can accept the cost of three or four thousand yuan of material if it's of good quality," Sun Yanping said.

Zhang Chi laughed and teased: "Three or four thousand is just the cost of the box, brother-in-law, okay, finally made a bloody investment?" ”

Sun Yanping said: "Your sister has not used any good things with me, and this is not when she is alive, this thing will be given to her as a gift to make her happy."

Zhang Chi said: "Yes, yes, the expensive material here is black walnut, and there is snake mulberry on black walnut, also called serpentine wood, which is almost like our red sandalwood."

Speaking of this, Zhang Chi thought for a while: "Forget it, you pay a few thousand yuan, and I'll take out the rest, let's use serpentine wood."

What my sister wants, Zhang Chi feels that he is not the same as before, and he is not a person who picks and searches, so he simply gives the whole serpentine wood material by himself, and makes a hand-worn box, and the material can be thicker, so that if he gets it in China, he can also ask a master with good craftsmanship to process it and make a carving or something.

Well, my sister is one, and my daughter-in-law also needs one.

Zhang Chi thought again, my sister and daughter-in-law have it, so do you want to have one? The old lady wants one, so does the grandmother want one?

Which one is your own relatives, and you can't think about it for anyone and not for whom.

"I don't have that much money!"

When Sun Yanping heard that he was originally going to make one, but now he is doing four, he subconsciously covered his pocket: "I said Dachi, I am not your family's big business, your brother-in-law and I are just a small civil servant, and I still have no oil and water department." You're not making a hand jewelry box for your sister, you're digging a hole for your brother-in-law! ”

"Look at what scares you, I'll take care of the rest!" Zhang Chi looked at Sun Yanping with a smile.

Sun Yanping thought for a while and said: "Then I'll add some more, all the private money I used to save money is thrown in, you don't dare to eat black."

Sun Yanping felt that he had to intervene in this kind of thing to please his elders.

"It looks like you've hidden a lot," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Sun Yanping said: "I have saved since I had Xiao Xiao, and now I have only saved less than 10,000 yuan, and this time I have all been pitted by you."

Zhang Chi smiled and stretched out his hand to wrap his brother-in-law's shoulder: "Bag, do you think this money is worth it!" Hey, hey, hey".
