"It is not a craftsman! It is better than a good stick" (refers to the tool).
This is the saying that "workers want to do their best, they must first sharpen their tools." Good craftsmen and their tools must be easy to use, fine, and beautifully shaped. To a certain extent, personal tools also represent the characteristics of a craftsman who “has its qualities and people have its own feelingsâ€. It can also be said that the craftsman has its own quality and the craftsman has its own feelings.
Tools can show the quality of craftsmen. For example; woodworking line planing, the line of the good line planing is round and full, and the rules are neat. The line shape of the secondary line planer gives people a feeling of not stretching and feeling uncomfortable. In the case of the line drawing tool, the pencil line error is general. . 25mm, the ancient pay attention to the use of strokes (buffalo horn production) lined Zhou Zheng, and later draw a line with a knife to make no errors. Achieve precision. Good craftsmen, commonly used wooden buckets, square feet, saws, planes, wood chisels and other tools, in terms of form, sharpness, quantity, etc., can basically see whether the craftsman's "cane" has the ability to make furniture.
Drawer height in table and cabinet furniture, old regulatory requirements
As the saying goes: The drawer is no more than four inches.
Refers to the drawer of general furniture, the old city system "four inches", metric 133mm. Exceeding this scale is not very beautiful. Drawers that are large until about the end of the Qing Dynasty are more common.
The relationship between the face of the stool and the legs and feet
Sayings: The legs are not inclined to the stool.
The stool here refers to a general bench or a four-legged stool. The face of the stool is related to the legs and feet. The leg of the stool should be inclined, and the ratio of the front of the slope is 1:0. The wooden surface of the stool is 1 inch thick (the old city system), and the outer slope is 17 points. The slope of the side should not exceed the surface of the stool. The ratio is 1:0 2, which is 2 points to the side (old market). Beyond this scale, it is not beautiful, the second is not conducive to side by side, and the third is the basic knowledge of leg inclination that craftsmen still do not understand.

Table height and chair height ratio requirements
Sayings: Foot seven, two feet seven, sitting just right. Half a foot, two and a half feet, the stool table travels all over the sky.
This scale defines the distance between the seat surface of the chair and the table top, generally between 300 and 333 mm. Moreover, the old city system "foot half, two feet and a half", is now a metric bench height of 5OOmm, table height of 8300mm. This scale basically continued into the 1970s.
Table and stool production

That is, the table top and the stool surface must be flat, and the four leg surfaces must be parallel and the height of the cymbal is consistent. The work of the table is also very particular:
Door three, box two, table four work.
The folks asked the craftsmen to make woodwork work time is exquisite. Generally, the home can be started in three days. The door frame takes two days and the table can be finished in four days.
The common language requirements of the traditional technology can also be cited a lot, the following chapters are described in various aspects of the Ding Yi system. These traditional sayings show that woodworkers are making furniture according to the technological evolution rules passed down from generation to generation. These traditional craftsmen began in the 1980s. There are not many people in the mouth. The state should protect it. Their craftsmanship is practiced. This is not a day's work. It is the story we have already said. "The year is six years of work, and after eight years, it is good for life." Of course, these proverbs and good words naturally have imperfect aspects, but it is not an easy task to reflect the production of ancient furniture. It is determined by its own manufacturing process characteristics.
