God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 382 Only
Of course Xu Jingxing understands how important functionality is. It can be said that the most important thing in making practical utensils is functionality. If functionality is not enough, even if you make flowers, it will be a waste product.

Therefore, he did not take any tricks, and honestly took materials according to the dimensions marked on the drawings to make parts for each part.

In fact, there are not many parts of the purple sand teapot, less than ten pieces at full count, and even fewer Xishi teapots with a relatively simple structure. There are only six pieces: the bottom, lid, body, handle, spout, and knob.

The bottom of the pot is easy to say. It is enough to make a mud piece and use a rectangular car to draw it into a circle according to the size.

The square wheel is something similar to a compass, specially used to cut round clay pieces, and is often used to make the spout and bottom of a pot. It is very simple to use, and he only needs to make a few gestures to master it.

After cutting out two neat round clay pieces, some clay was selected to make a rectangle, which is used to surround the body, that is, to make only the body of the pot.The apron is simple, that is, the long clay pieces are formed into a cylinder and then connected, but the next apron is more difficult.

It can be said that the general difficulty of making a purple sand pot lies in this process, because the body of the pot is complete and incomplete, and whether it is beautiful or not depends on how well this process is done.

And because of the particularity of the purple sand, this process needs to be used to shape the body of the pot with hands and wooden rackets on the turntable. Novices who have just entered the industry cannot grasp the tricks without a few months of practice.

But, he is Xu Jingxing, how can his hands-on ability be compared to ordinary people?
Although he was a little flustered when he first got started, he quickly found the trick after he became familiar with the properties of the clay and the rotary shaping technique similar to making ceramics.

In addition, the rotation speed of the turntable used to make the purple sand ware is not fast, and his reaction speed is very fast, which virtually gave him many opportunities to make up for his mistakes. Formed, the whole person became more and more confident, and the purple sand clay in his hand became more and more obedient. Under the pincers of the flexible palm and the stable and powerful wooden beat, the thin purple sand clay piece slowly changed its shape according to his needs .

At this point, the biggest difficulty is over. It is not a problem for him to shape the shape completely and incompletely, whether it is beautiful or not. He is a woodcarver. what store?
So when the body of the pot gradually took shape in his hands, Tang Xianhai on the side was already stunned, looking at him like a monster, without speaking for a while.

Make the body of the pot well, and write it down as the fat-adjusting mud. The fat mud is actually the same type of purple sand mud, but it is relatively thin and has a certain viscosity. It can perfectly connect the parts of the purple sand pot. After the connection is completed, it will be slightly repaired Xiu, there is no trace of connection at all, as if they were born together.

The rest of the process is much simpler, because most of the rest of the process is related to carving, whether it is to modify the body of the pot or to carve the lid, spout and handle, except for the different materials, the basic techniques are similar to those of woodcarving, even compared to wood carving. It's easy to do woodcarving.

There is no room for adjustment in woodcarving. If it is broken, the material will be useless. It is also different in making purple sand ware. The shape and structure of these parts can be adjusted after molding. Even if the height and so on cannot be adjusted, it will not take a few minutes to re-carve at worst. Anyway, these materials will not be wasted.

Therefore, in the next process, he did it more and more smoothly, without encountering any obstacles, even when making the spout, he did not have any difficulties.

It’s fine if you don’t understand it before. Now that Tang Xianhai has memorized the blueprints drawn by Tang Xianhai, he can draw tigers like cats even if he has no carving experience. What’s more, with his rich carving experience, the workmanship of the spout of Xi Shi pot is not difficult, which is the most common Straight mouth, and relatively short size, is much simpler than the curved three-bend mouth.

In addition, when making the pot button, he was a little bit embarrassed, because the pot button was not a standard round shape, but a milk bead shape. If he hadn't had a little intimate contact with Cheng Lin, he really couldn't have imagined it. What kind of charm is it? Now, he made it quite smoothly, but when he thought of Cheng Lin's plump and delicate body, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

After he glued the cover plate of the pot lid and the button of the pot and polished it, he carefully covered the spout of the pot. After looking at it carefully, he turned his head and asked Tang Xianhai, "Hey, old Tang, how are you doing?"

Tang Xianhai looked at him with a complicated expression, then looked at the purple clay pot on the workbench, and sighed after a while, "Xiao Xu, it's fortunate that you were not born decades earlier, otherwise there would be no place for us to earn a living what?"

"Hey, you mean I'm a genius?"

"A genius is better than a genius," Tang Xianhai said rather helplessly, "I have never seen or even heard of anyone who can successfully make a Xi Shi pot in less than two days after getting in touch with a purple clay pot. And it’s so beautifully done!”

"Really beautiful?"

"You are a sculptor yourself, so you don't know if it's beautiful or not?" Tang Xianhai gave him a rather speechless look.

"Hehe, isn't this a little excited?" Xu Jingxing was indeed a little excited. After all, this was the first purple clay teapot he made, and it was formed in one go. Judging by Tang Xianhai's expression, it seemed that it was quite an achievement.

Tang Xianhai carefully looked at the purple sand pot on the workbench, and suddenly said "Huh" after a while, "Xiao Xu, the shape of this pot seems to be different from the drawing, the body of the pot is fuller, the spout is shorter, and the handle is shorter. Slender, but looks more feeling, why is this?"

Xu Jingxing chuckled and said, "Since it's a handicraft, different people must make it with different effects. I made it more beautiful. It's as simple as that, hehe."

"No, what I'm asking is, why does this pot look more beautiful after you make such a simple adjustment, it looks a little more upright and delicate in the plumpness, and it also has a sense of agility, as if it came to life," Tang Xianhai is worthy of being an experienced veteran craftsman. Although he didn't quite understand the principle, he keenly noticed the difference.

"Ahem, Old Tang, we talked about the name of the teapot before, so you should know that the name of the teapot is closely related to the shape and temperament of the teapot itself. I just made this teapot more suitable for its name. That's all."

"That's it?" Tang Xianhai was even more speechless, "Do you know that you have done something that most Zisha artists dare not even think about or do?"
