Chapter 245 Carpenter
Seeing that Ye Yuan was interested in these things, the old man began to explain to Ye Yuan eloquently after he hadn't talked to anyone professionally for a long time.

"I can't say it's all light, and the person who built this chair doesn't seem to me to know what carpentry is.

Carpentry pays attention to one material, two lines and three holes.This is a criterion for measuring the basic skills of a carpenter.

The specific point is that the planing material should be flat, smooth and square, the line drawing should be accurate and correct, and the mortising should be square and vertical. "

Speaking of this, the old man stood up from the chair, raised the chair with one hand, pointed to several places and said to Ye Yuan:

"Look here, here, and here.

It was obviously sawed by a chainsaw, and then the rough edges were polished with sandpaper. The most annoying thing is that the whole chair is full of nails, without even a mortise, and I don't know how it got out. "

Ye Yuan listened to the old man pointing out some deficiencies of the chair, not only did he not get angry, but his eyes became brighter the more he listened.

He has also heard that a good carpenter does not use nails when building furniture, but mortises and mortises.

But I really don't know how to do it. I searched for a long time on the Internet and found ambiguous words, which made it difficult for a novice like myself to understand.

Ye Yuan said with some embarrassment:
"Don't be angry, old man. I made this chair myself. I don't know carpentry at all. I don't need nails. How do you tell me to make it?
I also checked some information on the Internet, but I can't understand those things. "

Old man Song was stunned when he heard Ye Yuan say this, and looked up at Ye Yuan with some doubts:
"You mean you built this chair yourself? You haven't studied carpentry?
Then who did you get this sculpture from?This is no ordinary master, I really want to know which master can make such a bad chair for you. "

The old man didn't give up belittling the chair because Ye Yuan made it, but became interested in the person who sculpted the chair.

Embarrassed, he rubbed the tip of his nose: "I carved it myself, isn't the craftsmanship okay?"

"Forehead...."

Old man Song choked on Ye Yuan's words.After waiting for a long time, he said:
"Your carving skills are already a master, but your carpentry skills are not even entry-level, you are... this is also..."

The old man has been doing this for a long time, and he doesn't know what words to use to describe it.

Father, I can see that you are very familiar with carpenters, can you tell me something?I can't find anything very useful online.

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, old man Song sighed and said:
"Traditional carpentry is a skilled trade that requires a lot of practice by craftsmen, otherwise it will not be mastered in a short time.

Axe, saw, planer, and chisel seem to be simple, but in fact they are concise but not simple.

It is not easy to ask others for advice. A carpenter knows how to do it himself, and he knows how to do it very well, but it is difficult to express it clearly and accurately in words, but the meaning is hard to convey.

It is even more difficult to express clearly in words.It is really difficult to teach without a master.This is also the reason why there are fewer and fewer inheritors of the craft of carpentry. "

Speaking of which, old man Song sighed repeatedly.

Ye Yuan finally knew why, it was hard to find those materials online.

Even the master may not be able to explain it clearly to the apprentice, let alone describe it in simple words, no wonder I see it in a cloud.

Ye Yuan rolled his eyes:
"Old man, can you use the time on the island to teach me some basic carpentry skills?"

The old man looked at Ye Yuan in surprise. In his opinion, it's really rare for a young man like Ye Yuan to have such a big career and to have the heart to learn carpentry from him.

"No problem, but carpentry is not learned in a few days. I am afraid that you will put it aside after a few days of new energy. Carpentry is a long-term accumulation process. You must remember this."

What Ye Yuan didn't expect was that a person who usually doesn't talk much can talk so much when talking about carpenters.

"Don't worry, old man, you see, apart from going to sea, I just stay on the island every day. It's just a matter of learning how to be a carpenter to pass the time."

After listening to Ye Yuan's words.Old man Song nodded and said with emotion:

"Nowadays there are not many young people like you. It's rare that you still have such a heart that can settle down."

"Okay, old man, don't praise me, let's see when we start?"

At this moment, Ye Yuan is impatient, and wants to learn carpentry right away.

Old man Song looked at Ye Yuan with a smile: "Don't worry, you can bring your tools here and show me."

I don't know why the old man did this, but Ye Yuan still honestly took out his carpentry tools.

The old man shook his head when he saw the tool Ye Yuan took out
"You can't do that. I've never heard of a carpenter's axe, a mason's knife, a bachelor's luggage, or a young lady's waist.

From this, you can also hear that the craftsman's tools are not casually lent to others for use.

If you look at your tools again, they are obviously bought from some hardware stores. Not only are they not good in quality, but they also don’t have any features. "

Ye Yuan really didn't know that there are so many things to say about a small tool.

"Then you see?"

"Bring a pen and paper, and I'll write you what to buy. There is a handcraft workshop in Landao City that specializes in making tools. These tools are sold there. If you want to learn how to be a carpenter, you must first choose tools."

"Grandpa, don't you have a mobile phone? Can't we add a WeChat and send it to me?"

Ye Yuan couldn't figure out why the old man had to write with a pen.
"I'm not used to using these new gadgets, you'd better get me a pen and paper."

Ye Yuan had no choice but to take the old man into the villa and bring the old man to the study, remembering that only there could be found the pen.

When old man Song entered the study, his eyes lit up when he saw the sea of ​​tea placed in the middle.

"Good thing, the sea of ​​tea made of gloomy wood, the carving is superb, you can't make it yourself, right?"

Old man Song looked at Ye Yuan in surprise.

"Just for fun, do you always have a good eye?"

"Boss Xiaoye, can I ask where you bought this gloomy wood?"

Ye Yuan asked curiously: "Why does the old man also want to make such a sea of ​​tea?"

The old man gave Ye Yuan a blank look:
"I'm not as rich and powerful as you. My old lady has been reciting scriptures at home every day since she got this disease. I'm thinking about getting her a string of gloomy wood prayer beads."

"I thought what was going on. Isn't it just a string of Buddhist beads? I'll give you a string."

Speaking of which, Ye Yuan took out a string of 108 Buddhist beads strung with gloomy wooden beads from a drawer in the study.Throw it to old man Song
"It's too precious, you can make a price." Old man Song's hand holding the Buddhist beads trembled a little.

Ye Yuan said indifferently:

"What money is not money? Didn't you charge me for carpentry? This prayer bead is my tuition fee."
