How to make a folding fan

Handmade folding fan production tutorial

Necessary folding fan production process

1, selection

Generally no matter the bamboo or wood, want to go through the selection of materials, selection is to see if the material size is enough, suitable for processing into a folding fan, some of the wood due to the walk is relatively large, easy to deform, and is not suitable for making folding fans.

2, sawing, splitting

Bamboo material needs to be sawed and split material, wood is required to open the material.

3, boiling, sunshine

Bamboo also needs to be boiled and dried after boiling, while wood does not need to be boiled. Both wood and bamboo material to dry for a period of time, wood also need to be stored for a longer period of time to prevent deformation, of course, those who know the characteristics of the wood is more stable can shorten the time, which is why customized folding fan almost always need a month time.

4, pull the small bone

All dealt with, and then down is to pull the small bone, is to put the bamboo material on top of the modeling knife, pull out the small bone by hand, the big bone is also in the modeling knife above the first pull out the approximate shape.

5, drilling

Then the big and small bones are drilled

6, modeling

After drilling the holes, the big bones are carefully modeled in the shape of the head and shoulders, and the small bones are also pounds, which means that the small bones are thinned out above the shoulders.

7, sanding

After all get well, big bone small bone should be sandpapered first, sandpaper from coarse to fine, some good sandpaper than the traditional process of water grinding effect is better.

8, polishing

Sandpaper sanding, and finally need to be polished in the polishing machine, polishing needs to be appropriate plus some Sichuan wax.

9, hot nails

After the completion of all, and finally hot nails, horn nails are the eyes of the fan, a good fan, and a good fan nails, is also equivalent to the effect of the eye.

Lastly, there is a point to be made, only the bamboo material needs to be on the modeling knife, wood is not on the modeling knife, wood is to use the open saw to open the material, the big bone modeling rely on the pound out, no matter whether on the modeling knife, are very test of the level of fan masters.

Two, is not necessary to folding fan production process

1, fill the core

Because of the plum deer and phoenix-eyed bamboo bamboo is generally thin, so do the big side of the width is reached, but there may be a gap in the middle, we have to fill the core, this fill the core is only in this case will be used, fill the core is the inner side of the big bone planed into a round, and then fill the groove with bamboo material, so that big bone The core filling is done by rounding the inside of the bone and then filling the groove with bamboo material to make the bone more flat.

2, paste beam

Some bamboo material may be due to insufficient density, or in order to increase the beauty of the big bone, will be pasted beam, method of operation: big bone pasted beam is the big bone half of the position of the downward folio, with a knife to the bottom of the cut, cut off the depth of about 1mm, and then look for a bamboo with Miqing half split, Miqing outward-facing, the use of special glue in the position of the cut off.

3, folding fan production process of scraping prongs, scraping Mi and the green

Scraping prongs is mainly the tip of the first small bone tied up, and then the following fan bone with the hand stagger a little bit, and then scraping knife directly scrape, the left side of this scrape scrape right side of the scrape scrape, scraped out of the edge of the similar round, in fact, scraping prongs is to remove the corners of the small bone, so that the small bone feel more comfortable, generally scraping the Mi fan will be scraping the prongs. Scraping Mi and scraping prongs are similar. These two processes are just to increase the comfort of the folding fan small bone feel.
