Chapter 7: Purple Sandalwood and White Peach Wood

At this moment, Chen Wen in the workshop is standing in front of the table, where a long strip of purplish-black wood is secured in a vise, and the golden file in his hand is continuously rubbing against the wood

Fortunately, these difficulties can be gradually overcome, and Chen Wen takes great pleasure in the process.

Knock knock knock

From a young age, the conditions at home were quite favorable, and coupled with the various affections from her parents, Jiang Qiu had never had the opportunity to step into the kitchen

This is just right, one is the interpreter, and the other is the one who dispels darkness

Seeing Chen Wen still immersed in the world of woodworking, Jiang Qiu did not disturb him, but quietly stepped out to fetch a broom and dustpan, and returned to quietly clean beside him

According to the dimensions of this wood, if there are no significant errors, it should be sufficient for him to craft two swords

I will prepare a mask for you; please wear it next time you come in. Chen Wen looked down at the tidy floor, his eyes flickering slightly, and he reminded with his lips.

Putting down the white peach wood, Chen Wen shifted his gaze to the last type of wood beside him—sandalwood.

Making a wooden sword does not actually require high levels of skill

Chen Wen frowned: "Pay attention to safety"

On her phone screen also appeared the alluring face of "Lin Meng" and a gaze that was far more unfathomable than that of Jiang Qiu Yi.

Therefore, even for Chen Wen, who has been skilled in woodworking since childhood, it takes a week to gradually polish and shape the sword blade.

"Can you cook?" Chen Wen was taken aback

Draw auxiliary lines, use a saw to cut out the initial sword shape, then secure the wood with a bench vise, and use a gold file for preliminary polishing

Wearing a mask to prevent wood chips from entering the mouth and nose, Chen Wen officially began work on the rosewood.

I have already sought guidance from an expert. "Jiang Qiu raised her smooth chin, "You just need to obediently sit in the living room and wait."

Chen Wen expressed his gratitude, and then took a shower and went to bed

Got it ~ '' Jiang Qiu entered the kitchen wearing an apron, turned her head and said, `` My video for the million-fan Cos benefit has been uploaded, remember to enjoy it ~ ''

If you are a beginner, it is obviously better to use the three relatively softer types of wood mentioned above for crafting

In this regard, Chen Wen's experience is essentially zero

In his impression, Jiang Qiu has never had any experience in cooking

In terms of hardness, rosewood is also not to be outdone, often ranking among the top ten hardest woods in the world

This type of wood is entirely purple-black in color, and feels slightly rough to the touch; it is somewhat heavier than white peach wood

Jiang Qiu Yi: Oh, my boyfriend is working, I accompanied him for a while ~ (shy)

What should I do?" Jiang Qiu asked cautiously as she picked up the kitchen knife

This step does not require particularly high technical skills; rather, it is more of a test of one's physical strength and endurance

Jiang Qiu accepted the invitation, directed the camera towards the cutting board, and placed the freshly purchased noodles, tomatoes, beef, and eggs on it

The exceptionally high hardness of rosewood makes this aspect of the challenge particularly difficult

It is past six o'clock, time for dinner, ah-choo!" Jiang Qiu said with a faint smile, and then suddenly sneezed

Chen Wen picked it up and shook it a couple of times, feeling that it was somewhat lightweight and not very heavy

Lin Meng: Why has it been delayed until so late? Didn't you buy everything and go home before five o'clock?

Jiang Qiu, dressed in a light and thin nightgown, sat on his lap, making it impossible for him to concentrate on reading.

Thus, Chen Wen turned his attention to the other two types of wood

This part still requires him to carve it out of a separate piece of wood

Jiang Qiu Yi: Meng Meng! I am going to start cooking noodles! Hurry and help me!

These three types of wood are relatively common in furniture, with moderate hardness, and if used to make wooden swords, it should be relatively easy

As for the flickering light promised to Jiang Qiuyi, it shall be made of white peach wood

Lin Meng invites you to a video call

... ...

The tip of the interpreter's sword is quite standard and unremarkable, but the end of the blade is somewhat exaggerated, featuring a spiked arc shape

In fact, the hardness of woods such as white peach wood and purple sandalwood already exceeds the normal scope of woodworking

The three types of wood are oak, linden, and pear wood

This causes significant disruption to the entire production process

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

Jiang Qiu turned on the light, and the sudden brightness jolted Chen Wen awake from his own world

However, since it is necessary to produce an interpreter, the hardness aspect must certainly be refined to perfection

Jiang Qiu's little head poked in from outside, and a series of crackling sounds reached her ears

Especially at times, the camera needs to be positioned between the wood and Chen Wen's body, making it uncomfortable for him to maintain his posture while sanding, which affects his ability to exert force.

As the time gradually approaches around 6 o'clock in the evening, the light in the room begins to dim

In addition, unlike ordinary wooden swords, the swords and blades from anime often have a characteristic of being visually exaggerated

During the production process, considering that the final product will be edited into a video for upload, Chen Wen needs to zoom in the camera's field of view to capture close-up shots of certain key steps

Closing the glass door of the kitchen, Jiang Qiu took out her phone and opened WeChat to seek help from a "master".

Knock knock knock

Got it ~ "Jiang Qiu dragged Chen Wen's body outside, "I bought the ingredients today and will personally cook dinner for you ~ "

In the past, Chen Wen only made some small trinkets, and there wasn't much sawdust.

After making the decision, Chen Wen turned on the camera that had been prepared nearby and spread the design drawings completed over the past two days on the table

It was only after 10 o'clock that he managed to free himself from Jiang Qiuyi's "suppression".

Of course, this is also related to his regular attendance at school.

After returning to the room, Chen Wen received a WeChat message from his uncle, stating that the wood had already been sent out and is expected to arrive in one or two days

He moved the box to the workshop, and after unpacking it, he arranged the five different pieces of wood one by one on the long high table

May 24, Saturday

Chen Wen received a large box of wood sent by his uncle

Chen Wen certainly would not care about this, as he picked up the rosewood and weighed it in his hand

... ...

Creak ~

The first type is a long strip of wood that is pale white with a silver hue. According to Uncle Chen Wen's introduction, this type of wood is called white peach wood, and its overall hardness is sufficient to rank among the top twenty in the world

Lin Meng: (Suffered a critical hit .JPG)

Today, I made my first "large project". Wood shavings were flying around the room, and without wearing a mask, it is easy to inhale them into the mouth and nose

Chen Wen did not know how he returned to the room

There are certainly harder types of wood, but they are excessively hard, and relying solely on manual sanding bit by bit is no different from tormenting oneself

Lin Meng: Let's start a video call, it will be more convenient this way

Clusters of black wood shavings fell onto the table and the floor, making the room appear very messy

In addition, its hilt is rather extravagant, especially the guard, which is the protruding part between the blade and the handle, taking on a very peculiar semi-cross shape
