God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 1476 A Brand New Attempt

Xu Jingxing said before that he would make some handmade brass retro-style lighters, of course he was not talking about it for fun, he really had such thoughts.

Of course, it’s not just for the lottery, but I also want to practice metal carving skills, because the furniture in his new villa is not very complete, and he plans to build some by himself. In order to better match those old-fashioned furniture, the necessary metal carving skills are Can't be less.

It doesn't need too complicated technology, just a little familiarity with the characteristics of metals, especially brass. He doesn't plan to produce brass parts himself, but just plans to carve some patterns on the finished components.

Of course it's not just brass. If possible, he hopes to use gilt copper or even gold.

But that's all for the future. What he has to do now is to familiarize himself with the characteristics of brass, then order finished components from manufacturers according to requirements, and then carve patterns on them himself.

It’s just that making lighters is different from engraving patterns on the surface of copper components. Carving does not need to change the overall structure and shape of the material. The difficulty lies in the design of the patterns and decorations themselves.

To make lighters, a small object with a relatively complex and delicate structure, requires high precision. In addition, it is also a difficult problem to polish copper materials into required parts.

For this reason, on the way back, he bought a set of special metal slicing machines, a small electric welding machine, and a whole set of chisels, all of which will be used for metal carving.

In the workshop.

Xu Jingxing took out the prepared copper materials and placed them on the table. He also prepared the tools and design drawings that might be used. Then he opened the live broadcast room and said with a smile, "I'm back. This time I'm fulfilling the promise I made this morning. A few handmade old-fashioned lighters, to be honest, this is the first time for me to make this stuff, even the first time to do metal carving, this process may not be perfect, I hope you don’t mind.”

"According to the structural diagram of a fuel-fueled lighter provided by a classmate, a complete lighter consists of 14 recent basic parts. Except for springs and shrapnel, which need to be purchased as finished products, the rest can be done by hand. What I challenge is such a process, first build each part according to the drawing, and then install it, it sounds very simple, but I have never touched this kind of thing before, so I am somewhat guilty, please don’t boo me.”

"Come on, the first attempt officially begins."

"Let's do a shape design first. Well, the shape of my gun is a bit difficult, so I don't think about it for now. The first model is best to make a little adjustment on the basis of the basic model. It will be easier to use. Do you have any suggestions? "

"Haha, the proposal of ordinary geometric shapes is exempted. I want to do it. I must make a special-shaped design. It is better to be a more interesting copy. Oh, this ID is Miaoke**Drogba's friend. The suggestion is to copy The shape and ID of the Swiss Army Knife are very vulgar, but the suggestion is good, I will go and see what the shape of the Army Knife is.”

"Not bad, the shape and volume are similar to lighters to a certain extent, and it will be confusing if you make it, so this is it, come on, I will draw a picture first, a purely hand-made picture, and then I will use it as an instruction manual and share it with me." The real thing is sent out together, if you are interested, you can see how I made the drawing, but this is a design drawing, not an art work, so it may be a bit boring.”

"Come on, first determine the shape, the size is tentatively set at 120*18*10㎜, which is about the same size as a regular Swiss Army knife, and the overall volume is slightly larger than a lighter, but it doesn't matter. The second place, huh, the basic size is available, and the general shape is also available, but in order to increase the fun, you can add some changes to the shape, um, replace the straight line here with an arc, and then put a small one on the big arc. The arc and the four corners are also rounded."

"It's almost interesting. The sense of design is not very strong. Let me take a look. In this way, it will bend the whole and give it an arc."

"Doesn't this look much better? The sense of line comes out immediately, but this is only the most basic, and the next step is the highlight, the exterior pattern and decoration. If the decoration is well designed, it can greatly improve the visual effect. Considering that the overall shape is based on smooth arcs, the pattern design must also fit this theme.”

"So, what kind of pattern would go well with this look?"

"The most suitable is the simple and smooth pattern with a certain curve. Flowing water, clouds, musical symbols and modern geometric elements are all good choices, but the traditional bluegrass is also very good. In addition, the more traditional twig patterns and cirrus clouds Ornaments such as patterns are also suitable, but the choice is up to you, you can choose, do you want a traditional style or a modern style?"

"Traditional? Well, I'm good at traditional ones. I must make them more refined. I can't fool everyone with simple flower and grass patterns. How about using fairy elements as the theme? Considering that I am also a beginner, I don't know much about it. I am good at metal chisel carving, so the design must be simple and the lines must be smooth. Well, the drawing is finished, but it is not enough. Let’s add a circle of twigs around the side, twig lotus? No, no, it’s not appropriate, fire How about the fire pattern? It just matches the attributes of the lighter, and the heads of the circle of fire patterns face inward, which will bring a stronger visual guidance effect."

"Hey, well, hehehe, it's really good, but the details need to be adjusted a little bit."

Xu Jingxing drew while talking, and soon finished the design.

"That's the shape. Next is the internal structure diagram. This is very demanding. Let's do it the same way. Let's start with the hinge. This looks the most complicated. Get it done, and the rest will be simple."

"Let me see what's going on with this structure. Damn, it's really complicated. It's a bit confusing to copy the original picture, not to mention changing the shape. On the other hand, the structure of these parts has to be adjusted accordingly. , although the principle remains the same, it is quite difficult to design a seamless pattern, so be patient and let me think about it carefully."

When encountering such a precise structure, Xu Jingxing did have a bit of a headache. After all, he had never done this thing before. Although it was not original, it was equivalent to a second creation. Moreover, this thing had really high requirements on the accuracy of dimensions. The shell thickness, The width of the internal space bar and the size of other components have to be taken into account.

Fortunately, his brain power is indeed strong, and he does not follow the routine. He first determines the adjusted shape of each component, and then considers the size issue.

Just like this, it took almost an hour to draw the complete pattern.

But this has already amazed the netizens in front of the screen.

"Holy shit, Xu Shen is really awesome. Such a complicated pattern was done so quickly, and even the size is clearly calculated. If you give it to me, let alone the shape design, just calculate the size of each component. one night."

"The designer dog said that he had fainted in the toilet. Why is there such a big gap between people? I also draw pictures, and Xu Shen also draws pictures. Why is the efficiency so poor?"

"Doubt in life."

"From the shape design to the calculation of all the dimensions, Xu Shen only took 57 minutes, I am convinced."

"Brother, tell me honestly, is this the first time you've made something like this?"

"Brother Nana's brain power is really strong. I don't talk about it when I draw pictures. I do all the calculations in my head when I calculate the size. Although they are all simple addition and subtraction, I can give standard answers without even thinking about it. It's also a bit scary. , there is no pause at all, I have nothing to see."

"I suspect I have a pig's brain."

"Worship God Xu every day."

"Compared to Brother Nana, I'm not only brain-dead, but also hand-dead, and even my eyes are crippled. I can't see many details clearly. Xu Shen just fixed it. It's just..."

"Every time I watch Xu Shen's live broadcast, I feel abused, but every time I can't help clicking in, am I hopeless?"

"Be quiet, watch Xu Shen's performance, you ignorant scumbags, the next hands-on session will be the most exciting, okay?"

Xu Jingxing showed the drawn drawings in front of the camera, and then picked up the copper material that Zheng Sijin bought for a while: "Now let's start, the first thing to do is the shell, well, we need to cut out the general shape, and then follow the design drawing to A little bit of polishing, of course, modern technology is required in this process, otherwise the workload will be too large, and the quality of the finished product will be slightly lacking. After all, it is a modern craft product, and pure handwork does not mean 100% Manual, these are two concepts.”

After finishing speaking, take out a two millimeter copper plate, draw a rough outline on it, and start cutting.

Cutting is not a problem for him at all. He has a special saw blade for cutting metal that he just bought, and he also has a gas cutting machine. Cutting such copper plates is like playing.

It’s just that cutting such a small size of material is relatively more efficient with a saw blade. Although the gas cutting machine is faster and quieter, the error is not easy to control.

Of course, the cutting noise of the saw blade is high and the risk is high, especially when cutting such a small-sized object, it is a small problem to cut off the edge or even damage the saw blade. The most terrible thing is to accidentally hurt yourself, because cutting metal It takes a lot of force to do it. Not only is the strength weak, not only can't cut, but the metal plate in the hand may even be broken by the high-speed rotating saw blade, which is even more dangerous.

Xu Jingxing usually cuts according to the drawn outline, while explaining: "Everyone, don't look at my movements are very simple and easy. In fact, this is a very dangerous operation method. First, I don't wear goggles. Second, I don't have metal cutting experience. One person operates this alone, and in the event of danger, there is no one to help with first aid, so please don't imitate it, don't imitate it."

Speaking of this, he simply put down his work and filled in the line "High-risk operation, non-professionals should not imitate" on the live broadcast setting page and hung it on the screen, so that he can see it as long as he enters the live broadcast room.
