  • The wooden arch bridge, an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon technique, is characterized by no glue and no nails. the structure is very strong. grandpa A Mu finally finished it, with the help of the photographer, who is also grandpa A Mu's son. with the new bridge, the small garden is more beautiful.

      From Lil Giant Would have been nice to say why he built it and how long it took to do so. Could just be a short silent line on the video. Man builds bridge for . . . and it only took . . . weeks!
      I remember a parable about an old man who came across a wide stream one night. The old man was able to ford the stream, but when he had done so he stopped, and began to build a bridge over it. Later, when he was finished, those who saw what he had done asked why he had done so. It was not his river or his land, but a public byway. He had already crossed and did not need the bridge. The old man answered something to the effect that, “While traveling I saw a youth, who is traveling my way, yet is far behind me. He may, being young and inexperienced, make a slip in the darkness or find the way too long and difficult. I build a bridge for him. I build a bridge for those who come after.”

    My grandpa did carpentry as well. We are still using tables and benches he built when he was alive. When I was little, he used work outside of my bedroom window. Each morning I was woken up by the sound of him working on the woods and also the birds' songs. And in summer all the rice fields in front of our house would turn to different shades of green and it was so beautiful. I really miss those days in the countryside.

      For this assembly to hold at that moment without any sort of mortise or "slot lines", he either had to use some kind of rope, or nails, or glue... nails it was. Nothing wrong about it, and nothing diminishing his skills, but hey, I have the impression that many people actually overate his skills. He obviously wasn't taught with the utmost precision as we tend to do in the west, just with the right enough precision where it does makes most sense, in a highly functionnal and efficient way. No time to waste sorta spirit, whith hand tools.
      The dude is amazing and impressive regardless. Just saying that his videos should motivate anyone to actually give it a try, they might be surprised that in the end the most diificult is not necessarly what it might seems at first glance.

    In another life, or in a parallel universe, I'd love to be his son or grandson so that I could be his apprentice. He has so much love and patience for his wonderful skills. Thank you so much, Sir!

      Great plan to get the apprenticeship. Hahahaha Sounds like it might work. Fingers crossed that in another life, you could be this apprentice that you so fervently desire. It sounds like a passion.

    I hope everyone appreciates how difficult the joint at 10:03 is to pull off. With the wedges on the inside of the mortice and tenon joint, there is no way to correct it if you get it wrong. It has to fit perfectly on the first try. The Japanese call it jigoku kusabi: "hell wedge".

    • @sipingal
      @sipingal 4 роки тому +1

      It very difficult to pull off, but not that difficult to “fix” it, the only cost is wasting the tenon.
