How to make a simple bamboo dragonfly?

1. A piece of flattened bamboo or lightweight wood with a length of 15cm, a width of 2cm and a thickness of 1cm.

2. A small bamboo stick (about 15cm long).

Tools:

A ruler, a small saw and an art knife.

Production steps:

1. Take a piece of bamboo, and process it into 15cm, 2cm in width and 0.6cm in thickness with a saw and other tools.

2. Measure the center position of the bamboo block with a ruler, mark the center position with a pen, and then draw a line on each side about 1.0cm away from the center point (both sides of the block should be drawn).

3. Cut the diagonal part into an inclined plane with a utility knife.

The processing method is as follows: cut a saw seam on the upper and lower sides of the bamboo piece with a small saw.

(1) The upper kerf on the left side requires "low outside and high inside" and the lower kerf requires "high outside and low inside".

The upper kerf on the right side is "high outside and low inside" and the lower kerf is "low outside and high inside".

The depth of the kerf at the lower end is 0.2 mm from the bottom surface of the bottom chip.

⑵ Use a utility knife to cut off the surplus wood from the kerfs on the left and right sides to the center.

4. Make a small hole in the center of the bamboo piece.

5. Take a bamboo stick with a length of about 14cm, cut the upper end into a suitable size, coat it with white glue, and insert it into the central hole of the bamboo piece.

6. Twist the bamboo stick at the lower end of the bamboo dragonfly for flight test.
