"Who did you learn this from?"
Chen Shan looked at Zhao Feng in great shock. Although these were just simple drawings, judging from Chen Shan's experience, if these things could really be produced, they would indeed have the effect Zhao Feng said.
But I have been a carpenter for decades and am extremely skilled at doing these carpentry jobs. Why didn't I think of being able to make such changes to these tools?
Zhao Feng immediately scratched his head and said with a guilty conscience.
"I came up with it when I had nothing to do. I usually just like to think nonsense!"
"By the way, father-in-law, why don't we quickly make one and try it out? What if these tools really work well?"
Chen Shan also frowned slightly, then nodded slowly.
He also wanted to try to see if the things Zhao Feng came up with were really that useful.
If it is so easy to use, it will not only make you make furniture faster, but you can even improve these tools and become famous throughout the ages!
The simplest of them is the planer. You only need to fix the original blade in the planer frame at a fixed angle.
Zhao Feng watched Chen Shan make a planing frame according to the picture he drew, and felt a little admiration in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shan's carpentry skills were so skilled that he could even use these very ancient tools to make such fine things.
Moreover, Chenshan does not have a complete set of carving knives here. Basically, one knife can carve many exquisite patterns.
If there was a whole set of carving knives, I'm afraid Chen Shan could make even more things!
Chen Shan is the representative of these craftsmen in this era. Even if their tools are very crude, they can make up for it with their skilled craftsmanship!
Seeing Chen Shan making a plane frame there, Zhao Feng was not idle, but sharpened the plane blade on his hand.
Although this planer scraper is similar to a planer, it has a double-edged edge, while the planer has a single-edged edge. Only in this way can it completely fit the board.
Soon the two of them finished it. Zhao Feng directly put the planer together, then found a piece of wood and put it on top and pushed it.
Chen Shan was immediately surprised to find that this planer fixed the angle of the blade, which not only saved more effort than before, but also the wooden block at the bottom could keep the board flat.
Even someone like Zhao Feng, who has not learned much about carpentry, can easily plan out a plane!
After Zhao Feng tried it a few times, he gave a thumbs up with great satisfaction.
"Yes, that's it. My father-in-law's craftsmanship is really high!"
Chen Shan smiled bitterly, waved his hand, and said to Zhao Feng.
"Without the things you drew, I wouldn't have known these tools could make such improvements!"
"I didn't expect that this kid like you has such a bright mind. You will definitely be a good carpenter!"
Zhao Feng scratched his head in embarrassment. He just looked at these things more in later generations.
"But if all those tools can be produced, the efficiency will definitely be greatly improved!"
Zhao Feng secretly thought this, and then came up with the idea of building all these tools.
After hearing this, Chen Shan didn't stop him. He also wanted to see if other tools were as magical as this plane!
That afternoon, Zhao Feng went directly to the county seat. After arriving at the blacksmith shop, he gave all the drawings he had drawn to the blacksmith and asked the blacksmith to make them according to these drawings.
In fact, sometimes it's not that people in this era are stupid, but that they don't think of these things at all.
The blacksmith is best at forging iron, and the carpenter is best at carpentry. Since the two are not interoperable, it is difficult for the blacksmith to help the carpenter improve those tools.
But under the drawings given by Zhao Feng, the blacksmith still patted his chest with confidence.
"Don't worry, I can type these things out soon!"
"But with so many things, the price is not low!"
Zhao Feng smiled and took out a tael of silver.
"Don't worry, as long as we can get it out, we can definitely afford it!"
"This tael of silver is considered a deposit."
The blacksmith agreed and began to make these tools, but these tools also needed to be reported to the government for filing.
After Zhao Feng left the drawings here, he turned back to Chenjiazhuang, and the blacksmith took the drawings to file.
The person in charge of registering ironware at the county government had never seen these strange things before, so he took them directly to the county magistrate.
"Sir, the blacksmith from the county town has come to register these tools again. I heard that the tiger-fighting hero wants to buy these tools."
When the county magistrate heard this, he frowned and pondered slightly: "Hero who fights tigers?"
Then he remembered the scene when Zhao Feng rejected him last time, and he snorted coldly.
"He already has three arrows in his hand, and getting these weapons will be beyond his reach!"
"Tell him not to do it!"
The officer had an embarrassed expression on his face: "Master, I'm wrong again. This is a craftsman's tool, not a weapon!"
"Our Great Zhou Law said that craftsmen should not have more than ten iron tools in their hands, and these are exactly ten!"
This immediately made the county magistrate snort: "This Zhao Feng, I want to see what he wants to do!"
"Then agree. If he just wants to work as a carpenter, that's it. If he has the slightest intention of treason, then arrest him first!"
"Since he doesn't want to work for me, then I will let him know who is the boss of this county!"
After Zhao Feng returned to Chenjiazhuang, he continued to help Chen Shan build the furniture.
Chen Shan initially planned to teach Zhao Feng some carpentry skills, but later the two of them started arguing with each other. Chen Shan always wanted Zhao Feng to make them according to the methods passed down by his ancestors, but Zhao Feng obviously had his own way.
After practicing, Chen Shan was shocked to find that the methods Zhao Feng used were better than what he had insisted on before, which made Chen Shan a little confused.
Zhao Feng even improved the manufacturing methods of some furniture. The furniture he produced was not only more stable than before, but also received unanimous praise.
Now even Chen Shan had to deny that if it weren't for Zhao Feng's contribution, not only would he not be able to create so much furniture, he would not even be able to make so much money.
Chen Shan was an honest and kind person, so after taking back the money for the furniture, he insisted on giving some to Zhao Feng.
"Just take it, you deserve these. Without you, I wouldn't be able to receive so many furniture jobs!"
"If you can be nice to my daughter, I will be happy!"
Chen Shan said.
