Chapter 163 Finished Product
Chapter 163 Finished Product
It can be said that the quality of the works they submitted largely determined whether the three of them stayed or went.
But many of the woodwork he had done over the years were highly practical things, so it would be difficult for him to stand out in this competition. However, Huang Qiushi was a man with a quick mind, and he came up with an idea after thinking for a while.
Instead of starting from an area he was not good at, he found a smaller piece of wood and made it into the shape of a wooden cart. He then carved out two wheels with a chisel, polished the painted wood into two real wooden wheels, and then assembled them with the wooden cart to make it a real rotating cart.
After the main body of the cart was completed, Huang Qiushi began to make detailed carvings on the body and wheels, and finally began to polish the main body to make it look less rough.
The three of them were concentrating on completing their own works. Lin Chuyi was not idle either. She controlled the carving knife with her right hand and moved it quickly on the wood in her left hand. Soon a small pile of fine sawdust accumulated on the ground.
It only took Lin Chuyi a quarter of an hour to complete her first work. She shook the hand holding the wood carving to shake off the sawdust, then brushed it carefully with a small brush. She looked at the finished product with satisfaction and put it on the ground.
After taking a look at the three people who were busy, she picked up a new piece of wood and started a new round of carving.
After finishing carving the three pieces of wood, Lin Chuyi put down the carving knife, picked up the sandpaper and began to grind and polish the wood carvings.
When the hourglass ran out of time, Lin Chuyi had completed the first round of polishing. She stood up from her seat and clapped her hands to attract the attention of the three carpenters.
"The time is up, you can stop now."
The three carpenters who were concentrating on their work heard Lin Chuyi's words and subconsciously looked in the direction of the hourglass. Seeing that there was indeed no sand falling in the middle of the hourglass, they put down the tools in their hands and stood aside.
The first thing Lin Chuyi noticed was the square table made by Zhang Fadada, for the simple reason that this finished product occupied the largest area.
This square table is half the size of the dining tables commonly used in ordinary people's homes. It doesn't have too many features, but the corners and legs fit perfectly together. The overall thickness of the table is just right, and it is polished very smoothly and flat. It is ready to be sold after being painted.
Zhang Fadada's professional ability is unquestionable as he can complete a table to such a high level in such a short time.
After checking the sturdiness and details of the square table, Lin Chuyi moved his gaze to the wooden boat made by Gao Zhu.
The wooden boat is about 30 centimeters long and 10 centimeters high. There is a paddle, a fishing rod, and an empty wooden barrel on the bow, and a cabin in the middle of the boat.
I don’t know if it’s a matter of time, but the cabin door and the windows on both sides are empty, with no door panels or window frames to open and close.
However, judging from the structure of the hull and the solidity of the cabin installed later, it can be seen that Gao Zhu's carpentry skills are not bad.
Lin Chuyi glanced at the boat awning in Gao Zhu's hand, which had two wooden pillars already installed. He felt sorry for him. If it were for the lack of time, the integrity of this wooden boat would definitely be much better than it is now.
However, even without a awning, this wooden boat is already a complete work. Although it is lacking in details, its merits outweigh its flaws overall.
From the perspective of creativity and conception, Lin Chuyi felt that the wooden boat made by Gao Zhu was far better than the wooden table made by Zhang Fadada.
Lin Chuyi shifted his gaze to the last piece of work. The moment he saw the finished product, his eyes lit up.
The finished product Huang Qiushi made was a mini wooden cart, but it was more than just a cart.
An old man was standing at the handlebars of the cart, with his hands on the handlebars, pretending to push the cart hard. His eyes were on the cart, with a smile on his face. The cart was loaded with wood chips, and a cheerful fat baby was sitting on the chips.
At first glance, it looked like a grandfather and his grandson returning with a cart full of food. Lin Chuyi's lips curled up slightly. Finally, a work she liked appeared.
She stretched out two fingers and pulled the handlebars forward and backward twice, and found that the wheels could move. This time, Lin Chuyi nodded with satisfaction.
This work is the smallest of the three, but it takes the most thought. It not only showcases his woodworking skills, but also makes the whole work come alive with his own ideas.
If we really have to rank them, this cart work is definitely the undisputed first place.
Just when Lin Chuyi was about to announce the final result of the competition, Gao Zhu's sudden exclamation attracted the attention of everyone present.
"This...this...this..."
Gao Zhu found it somewhat amusing to see Lin Chuyi examining the three of them's works seriously. He remembered that Lin Chuyi had also tinkered with a few small pieces of wood just now, and suddenly wanted to see her finished carvings.
So Gao Zhu walked towards the place where Lin Chuyi had been before. When he saw the three little men neatly placed on the ground, Gao Zhu's eyes suddenly widened and he even stuttered when he spoke.
He could hardly believe what he saw. The three pieces of wood that the girl had taken away earlier had turned into three wooden figures, lined up on the ground.
These wooden figures are more detailed and complex than the two carved by Huang Qiushi.
You don't even need to look closely to see that these three wooden sculptures are scaled-down versions of the three of them.
The biggest difference between them is that the wooden carvings are not painted, and the color of their hair, skin and clothes do not match theirs. Apart from the size and color, whether comparing their appearance, body shape or clothing style, they are all exactly the same as the real people.
It is already surprising that this can be achieved, but the most important thing is that the reduced version of them shows them concentrating on carpentry just now. Even their works appear in this small wood carving, but it is an unfinished version at that time.
Gao Zhu simply couldn't imagine how this little girl did it. Wait, if he remembered correctly, this little girl started wood carving after the hourglass turned upside down for the second time.
In other words, she completed three figure sculptures in just half an hour, and they were so lifelike and vivid.
This is not an ordinary girl at all; she is a gifted carpenter master!
"What's going on here?"
"What happened?"
Huang Qiushi and Zhang Fadada heard Gao Zhu's shouting, and while asking, they ran towards Gao Zhu's location.
