The ironware I made shines

Chapter 35 Renovation
As a mechanical engineer, Ge Xiaohua still has a good understanding of machinery, and all the tools and machinery he bought are useful.

Ge Xiaohua can't afford expensive lathes, CNC machine tools, etc., but the machinery that assists in blacksmithing can still be used.

What's more, the main thing is Ge Xiaohua's control, such as quenching, which can make iron quenched into steel, and its strength and flexibility are enhanced.

Pneumatic hammers, welding machines, cutting machines, angle grinders, etc., there are quite a lot of machines purchased this time.

As a result, there were more tools in the blacksmith shop, and Ge Xiaohua had to set aside a room for tools.

On one side are all kinds of traditional tools, and on the other side is the crystallization of modern times. There is a dazzling array of tool rooms, and every tool is wiped extremely clean.

After use, Ge Xiaohua will maintain it regularly to increase the life of the tool.

This is also the tradition of Lao Ge's family. Tools are one's own partners. If you don't take good care of them, you will slack off when you need them.

Then there are obviously disadvantages and no benefits to making ironware, and when maintaining tools, you can calm down and think, which is the most important thing.

The continuous value of ingenuity has gradually improved Ge Xiaohua's understanding of blacksmithing. How to flexibly use modern technology to improve the quality of blacksmithing is what Ge Xiaohua has to do. The major in metal materials and the work experience of mechanical engineers can finally be used.

In the beginning, Ge Xiaohua learned blacksmithing from scratch. After all, his craft has not been better passed on.

His parents didn't want him to forge iron. Under the influence of traditional thinking, iron forging is a craftsman, and it's not good to say it.

Therefore, it is normal to go to school, study, go to university, graduate and work in a big city according to the class.

It was not until his grandfather passed away that Ge Xiaohua became firm in his idea of ​​inheriting and carrying forward the blacksmith shop. It may also have something to do with "stealth learning" from his grandfather's blacksmithing when he was a child.

Ge Xiaohua is sorting out old tools and transferring the tools that can be used in the warehouse to the tool room. The dusty warehouse is full of various sundries.

There are many obsolete tools in this room, all of which are more than ten years old, and some are 30 to [-] years old.

"Ahem!" Ge Xiaohua opened the door, and the dust raised made him cough unceasingly, so he had to go out to find protective equipment. He wore a professional-grade gas mask to protect his mouth and nose.

"Crack." When Ge Xiaohua was tidying up, he came across a tool. The tool on the wooden base was rotted because of too long time, and the precarious base fell off.

Ge Xiaohua saw a stone grinding disc. Under the traces of time, the edge of the grinding disc was very smooth, and there was a pedal transmission device.

"Pedal knife sharpener? It's very advanced." This tool is a product of more than ten years. It is well designed, and because it is a pedal, both hands can be released to sharpen the knife, which is better than an electric angle grinder. Machines, grinders, etc. are not in vain, and they still have a place to play.

"Good thing." Ge Xiaohua carried out the pedal knife sharpener. The machine, which was almost falling apart, was useless in the eyes of outsiders, but after understanding its structure, Ge Xiaohua felt that it could be used.

"The mechanical structure above is all made of iron, which can be polished and painted to prevent rust. The base needs to be rebuilt, which is a little more troublesome." Ge Xiaohua considered that the wood used for the base is prone to decay and instability, and also wanted the whole machine to look more natural. .

So all the parts were removed, and the base was measured, and then I went to build it, and I quickly got a base.

The next step is to polish, remove rust and spray paint. Ge Xiaohua, who has a relatively complete set of tools, is very handy.

Every man has a habit of collecting tools, hoping to have a room dedicated to placing tools.

Ge Xiaohua is in his hometown, the space is relatively large, although the room is old, but it is still relatively spacious, it is very comfortable to live in, there is no one around, independent of Gejia Village, and will not affect others.

The renovation work seems very boring, but when the finished product appears in front of you, compared with the previous pile of scrap iron, it has a strong sense of visual impact and sense of accomplishment!

"It's so cool." Ge Xiaohua's base, outer mechanical parts, and iron box are all painted with red paint, and the whole is extremely harmonious.

After the stone plate was installed, Ge Xiaohua added spring water into the box, and then took an unsharp hoe blade to sharpen it.

With the conduction device under the pedal, the grinding disc rotates, and the grinding disc wetted with water is good for grinding, which will not damage the ironware and reduce the emergence of sparks.

"Hey!" After a while, the hoe was sharpened, and the efficiency was not inferior to that of an electric knife sharpener.

"It's good for exercising and saving electricity." Ge Xiaohua polished some of the farm tools he had just built, and put them in the yard for occasional use.

This is a masterpiece that has been successfully refurbished, and it is still good, and it can be seen that the mechanical theory of my grandfather before is still good.

After finishing these, Ge Xiaohua went to feed the horses and dogs. After finishing the work, it is time for entertainment and leisure.

In the afternoon, Ge Xiaohua played with Jinlun and Meteor, and cleaned up the kennels and stables. The day was very fulfilling.

The next day, Liang Deshan called Ge Xiaohua and told him about the medicinal materials he needed, and he set off early in the morning.

There are abundant natural resources in the Shiwanda Mountain, among which medicinal materials are one. As long as you know the medicinal properties of these plants and use them properly, they can become panacea.

Ge Xiaohua planned to bring some ointment pastes for his parents when he went to the outpatient department after picking the medicinal materials this time.

It mainly treats stubborn diseases such as rheumatism and stomach pain. They are all old problems of parents.

The equipment is ready, Ge Xiaohua is on the horse with the dog and the horse this time, the role of the golden wheel is to patrol, and the meteor is to act as a booster.

He can help carry some medicinal materials or use it for transportation. He is worried about putting it in the blacksmith shop, so it is better to bring it out for safety.

Ge Xiaohua can also increase his intimacy with Meteor through this trip to the mountain to collect herbs. There are sacks and medicine hoe on the back basket.

The most important thing is this bright medicinal hoe. Every time you bring it, it not only has practical functions, but the most important thing is its rare attribute, which increases the probability of top-quality medicinal materials.

The previous Hornet's Nest is probably related to this medicinal hoe. Riding Meteor on the country road is much more comfortable than on the secondary road. The tremor is greatly reduced, and the wear on the crotch is reduced, so it can be better. Enjoy the scenery along the way.

Jinlun is full of energy, bouncing around, and likes this kind of outdoor activities. Golden Retriever is a kind of lively dog, so it is obviously not good for its physical and mental development to be tethered at home all the time.

Sitting on horseback, Ge Xiaohua, who had a wide field of vision, noticed something unusual, and Jinlun was also shouting.

"Crack!" There was a sound of metal hitting, Ge Xiaohua knew exactly what it was, the sound of the animal trap activated!
"Golden Wheel!" Ge Xiaohua was worried that the golden wheel that ran into the grass would hit the trap by mistake. This is also a situation where many rural dogs die.
