What did carpenter Mo Dou say?

Mo Dou can ward off evil spirits. Mo Dou is usually used for surveying and building construction.

Mo Dou is a very common tool in China's traditional woodworking industry, and its use has three aspects: making long straight lines (also indispensable in mud, stone, tile and other industries); The method is to fix one end of the inking ink line, pull out the inking ink line, straighten it and tighten it at the required position, then lift the middle section and bounce it off. Ink warehouse stores ink for drawing short straight lines or marking with ink sticks and crutches; Draw a vertical line (when using a lead pendant).

Mo Dou: The round bucket at the front of Mo Dou was made of bamboo and wood in the early days, with a small hole in the front and a small hole in the back for ink lines to pass through. The ink bin is filled with ink storage materials such as silk, cotton and sponge (it can be stored for a short time after pouring ink).

Mo Dou principle

Mo Dou's principle is that ink lines are wound on movable wheels. After the ink line is wound on the Amo bucket wheel, the end line is tied on the fixed needle. When in use, the fixed needle is pulled, and the drawn ink line is dipped in ink through the Mo Dou under the rotation of the movable wheel, so that the ink line becomes straight, and the line to be processed pops up on the wood.

Mo Dou is mostly used for cutting wood. Mo Dou, a carpenter engaged in furniture making, can do a little less, and carpenters engaged in building wood structure making can do a little more. On the one hand, Mo Dou can be used as elastic thread for logs and sawn timber, or elastic thread for straightening the edges of boards, and it can also be used as elastic thread marking in other aspects, such as material splicing. For example, Mo Dou is sometimes used to hang a vertical line to measure whether the pay-off is vertical and flat.
