Chapter 151 Repair the old mahogany moon door canopy bed
“Whether it’s illegal or not is not decided by people?
How did you get your old mahogany moon-hole door canopy bed?
Is it considered an antique?
Antiques are not allowed to be sold privately. Do you think this is illegal?
Therefore, be strict with your words and never tell others that you received a perfect-grade Ru kiln celadon peach-shaped brush washer.
Otherwise, you just have to wait for those old guys from the Palace Museum to pester you every day and ask you to donate this Ru kiln celadon peach-shaped brush washer to the Palace Museum." The old lady reminded with a smile.
"I got it, Grandma Liu! I must be strict with my words and will never say anything outside." Zhang Junping nodded.
A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.
Only a fool would go around saying that he has a national treasure Ru kiln celadon peach-shaped brush washer in his hand.
"What have you been busy with lately? You're a typical kid who forgets your mother when you have a wife. You hide outside the school and live a small life with your wife. It's hard even for me, the master, to see you."
"Master, it's not that I've been too busy recently, so I haven't replied. In the future, I'll try to find more time to come back to accompany you, and go to your place to eat more." Zhang Junping squeezed the old lady's shoulders in a flattering manner.
"I took on a job some time ago to design the characters for the "Journey to the West" crew. I just finished my work.
Then starting yesterday, I asked all workers in the furniture factory to work overtime for two hours for skills training." Zhang Junping reported his recent experience to the old lady.
"It's okay, I didn't get carried away!" The old lady nodded with satisfaction.
CAFA's teaching system is very lenient. Now that Zhang Junping has been allowed to graduate early and has been admitted as a graduate student in the Department of Sculpture in advance, it is even more lenient.
What the old lady is concerned about is not whether Zhang Junping has returned to school, but whether Zhang Junping has been messing around outside.
Zhang Junping chatted with the old lady for a while and made her happy before saying goodbye and leaving.
After leaving school, Zhang Junping went to DreamWorks and asked Huang Juan to bring a message to Huang Xue, asking her to have dinner with the old lady at night.
The furniture factory had just started working overtime, and he had to keep an eye on it. Besides, he was also responsible for giving lectures to his eldest brother-in-law and the others. He really couldn't leave, so he had to let Huang Xue fulfill his filial piety for him.
Then, after running around all morning, I finally bought all the spring coils and sponges, enough for the furniture factory to use for the next month.
…
It was another busy afternoon. Zhang Junping spent the entire afternoon studying the old redwood moon-hole door canopy bed and drew more than a dozen sketches.
If you want to restore it to look similar to the one in the photo, all the fences on the old redwood moon-hole door canopy bed are no longer usable and must be replaced with new ones.
During the research process, Zhang Junping shook his head in distress.
The fence panel of the old mahogany moon-hole door canopy bed is decorated with silver inlay patterns.
It was the silver wire inlaid on the fence board that made the whole old redwood moon-hole door canopy bed a disaster.
Those who destroyed the canopy bed, in order to remove the silver wire, destroyed the fence panels into disgrace, making it impossible to reinstall the silver wire.
The fence panels can only be replaced.
In fact, the silver wire on the fence board is really not worth much, and it doesn’t weigh much in total, only about two taels.
But the vandals didn't know that, they only knew that silver was valuable, so they buckled the entire fence panel into disarray just for a little silver thread.
Research revealed that Zhang Junping began to cause trouble again.
The perspective drawings and structural drawings were drawn, and the original appearance of the old redwood moon-hole door canopy bed was perfectly restored from the drawings.
However, it is still a bit difficult to repair the actual object.
The biggest difficulty is the lack of materials.
The fence panels of the old mahogany moon-hole door canopy bed are made of whole pieces of aniseed.
He doesn't have such big materials in hand, so he can't destroy other furniture just to repair the old mahogany moon-hole door canopy bed, right?
I've been asking Section Chief Sun to help collect old wood for a while, but I don't know what's going on.
There has been no news.
If that doesn't work, I'll go to the Beijing Woodware Factory tomorrow to see if the woodware factory has old redwood in stock.
PS: Old redwood is called old redwood in the north, and it’s called rosewood in the south.
After dinner, all the workers continued to work overtime, and Zhang Junping continued to explain the application and deformation of the mortise and tenon structure to his eldest brother-in-law and others.
Zhang Junping estimates that he will be able to finish all the lectures in three days, and then they will have to practice it themselves.
Learning and being able to use are two different concepts.
There are a total of one hundred and forty-eight mortise and tenon structures. It takes less than a day to learn them, but how to use them and which mortise and tenon structures are applied to which parts of the furniture.
This is not simple. Each mortise and tenon structure can be applied to several or even a dozen furniture components.
In turn, there are several or even a dozen mortise and tenon structures to choose from for the connection of a piece of furniture.
How to choose is a science that tests your skills.
It is necessary to consider the impact of the climate difference between the north and the south on furniture, the impact of furniture materials, the impact of the size of furniture components, and the stress of different furniture components.
If you want to study and understand it, you really have to work hard.
What Zhang Junping has to do now is to stuff it into their minds first, whether they can understand it or not, remember it first, and then slowly understand it.
…
Early the next morning, Zhang Junping went directly to the Beijing Woodware Factory.
"Director Zhang, welcome, welcome!" Director Li welcomed Zhang Junping into the office warmly.
Zhang Junping was his big customer at first. Not only did he pack up the ancient Ming and Qing furniture from the woodwork factory for 300,000 yuan, but he also placed a huge order.
"Director Li, I came here this time to see if there is any old redwood in our factory." Zhang Junping said directly after taking his seat.
"Director Zhang wants old redwood?" Director Li asked somewhat unexpectedly.
Previously, Zhang Junping only said that he wanted Hainan Huanghuali and golden nanmu, but not about old mahogany.
"Yes, I don't know if our carpentry factory still has any stock. Give us some."
"Director Zhang, you are here. Our woodwork factory really has a lot of old redwood in stock. They are all old materials from more than a hundred years ago. How many do you need?" Director Li was delighted.
In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the royal family abandoned Hainan Huanghuali and began to pursue furniture made of small-leaf red sandalwood and old mahogany.
In the feudal dynasty, the favor of the royal family was a benchmark for the industry. For a time, old mahogany became the second most precious wood after small-leaf red sandalwood.
As we all know, small-leaf red sandalwood is difficult to produce large quantities of material.
Therefore, old mahogany has become the first choice wood for making furniture, especially large pieces of furniture.
Affected by this, major woodware factories in Beijing will naturally purchase old mahogany in large quantities or even hoard old mahogany.
As mentioned earlier, Beijing Woodware Factory was formed by the merger of more than thirty woodware factories.
A woodworking factory may not have much inventory, but if more than 30 woodworking factories put together, they have a lot of inventory.
"How much do you have?" Zhang Junping almost said that I want as much as you have, but he swallowed it back and changed it to, "If you can, give me half.
