Grandpa Amu creates a wooden arch bridge,no nails,very powerful craftsman

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.

[@GrandpaAmu]

The video was released late, and I still worked hard to complete it. Today, let everyone see the full video of the wooden arch bridge, everyone slowly appreciate 视频发布的时间晚一些，还是努力完成了它，赶在今天，让大家看到木拱桥的完整视频，大家慢慢欣赏

[@henryvalero9235]

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.”

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]

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

[@mansaha9288]
