Carpentry School Day 8

Today, starting in the morning, I toured a construction site where Somakosha was using the traditional Ishibadate construction method.

It was my first time seeing a new stone-based construction in progress, and I was impressed by the precision and beauty of the work.

After that, we returned to the workshop and observed a demonstration of marking and carving Kanawa joints, which had also been performed on-site. From the act of drawing lines to each step of the carving process, we were able to see the skilled techniques up close.

My own work continued with setting up the plane, as it had been yesterday. I finished most of the adjustments just before closing time, so tomorrow I should finally be able to start the planing work.

本日は朝から、杣耕社さんによる伝統的な石場建て工法の現場を見学しました。
新築の石場建てを拝見するのは初めてで、仕事の正確さと美しさに印象を受けました。

その後、加工場に戻り、現場でも行われていた金輪継ぎの墨付けと刻み加工の実演を見学。線を引く動作から加工の一手まで、確かな技術を間近で確認することができました。

自分の作業は昨日に続き鉋のセットアップ。終了間際に大方の調整を終え、明日はいよいよ削りの作業に入れそうです。
