Kite making problems

Use a small saw to cut a notch at the end of each wooden stick (see Figure 5-1). Be careful not to point the saw at yourself. Measure the center of one of the wooden sticks, make a mark, and place the mark on a point on the other wooden stick that is 20 cm away from one end of the wooden stick (see Figure 5-2). Use wood glue to stick the two joined wooden sticks together, wrap them with a rope a few times and then tie them up (see Figure 5-3). Straighten the rope and wrap it around the four sawed openings to form the outer frame of the kite (see Figure 5-4). Tighten the rope and tie both ends of the rope into a knot. At the four ends of the wooden frame where the ropes were wrapped through the gaps, the ropes were wrapped around the ropes several times and then tied tightly. Today, the kite frame has been successful.

Put the kite frame on a piece of plastic film to make a sample. The horizontal wooden stick must be close to the plastic surface below. Draw the sample with chalk. It should be drawn 2.5 cm outside along the kite frame line to allow the extra edge to be folded over to cover the rope. Carefully cut out the sample along the nicely drawn lines. Then fold the extra plastic over the rope and stick it together with tape. Now, tie a rope to the gap at one end of the horizontal wooden rod, bend the wooden rod to a bend of about 10 cm, and then tie the other end of the rope to the other end of the horizontal wooden rod. Add a bridle, and with the help of an adult, make a small hole at the intersection of the two wooden sticks, use a rope that may be 150 cm long, and tie one end of the rope through the small hole to the intersection of the wooden sticks* , tie the other end of the bridle to the notch of the wooden stick at the bottom of the kite. Tie the rope used to fly the kite to the bridle so that it is about 90 cm from the notch at the bottom of the kite and about 60 cm from the small hole of the bridle you connected. Continuously adjust this knot up and down to make the kite stable. This kite does not need a tail, and it can fly even when the wind is light. Please remember to fly your kite in a very wide area and avoid high voltage wires.

Method 3:

1. Design the kite pattern

When designing the kite pattern, fold the paper in half and only draw the right side of the design

Use light perspective to draw the other side

[size=+0]

Cut the bamboo Cut in half before sawing to required size.

Cut the wood in half and hit it with the opposite side of the knife to split it.

Peel off the bamboo to get the inner knots. Do not remove the outer knots for beauty, otherwise the bamboo will break.

[size=+0]

[size=+0][size=+0]When splitting bamboo, if the thickness of the bamboo pieces is uneven, the splitting knife must be moved toward the thicker pieces. Apply pressure. 3. Shaping

Plan it with a plane or scrape it with a knife. Except for baking, do not bend it at will to avoid damaging the bamboo fiber.

Align one side of the two bamboo strips completely. Hold the bamboo strip firmly with your left hand and lay it flat. Release it with your right hand. Use a thin pencil to draw on the two bamboo strips at about 1/2 of the long bamboo strip. A horizontal line

Don't move the long bamboo, turn over the short one and compare it with the long bamboo. If there is a gap, align the mark of the long bamboo, and draw the second mark on the short bamboo.

Take two points on the short bamboo to get the center point. This point is the center line of the length of the short bamboo.

With the inside of the bamboo strip facing down, place the small blade on the center line, weigh the weight to see if both sides are balanced.

You can also place the center point of a short piece of bamboo on the main axis to see if it can be balanced.

Press lightly with both hands to bend it and check whether the arc is even.

4. The skeleton must be fixed

First mark the bamboo strips and smoke them with an alcohol lamp. When smoking, the bamboo pieces should not be too close to the fire or too long. The bamboo strips will be heated. When doing so, you should apply a little force on both ends of the bamboo strip with both hands to bend it. When the bamboo strips are too dry, soak them in water for about 2 hours.

When grilling the wings, the rear tail of the wings needs to be about 5 cm higher than the design so that it can stretch open when glued to the kite cloth.

Compare the angle of the design, apply white glue, and use cotton thread to tie it crosswise in a cross shape.

Tie the wings according to the design drawing. The tail ends of the two wings must be about 5 cm higher upwards.

5. Cutting

When cutting the wing surface, leave an extra 1 cm for the sticky bamboo part.

6. Paste the surface

Paste white glue on the skeleton. The white glue should be applied to the outer bamboo joints, but never to the inner bamboo joints. After applying it, stick it on the cloth. If the mask is made of silk, be careful about the warp and weft when cutting the material.

7. Decoration and beautification

8. Thread lifting

You can use strange ink for coloring. If you want to lighten the color, you can add toluene to dilute it. You can also use water-based publicity paints, etc...

When lifting the string, lift it on the front of the kite (the side without bamboo strips). The picture on the left shows the best position for lifting the string. The angle of the string can be Adjust the angle according to the size, structure, weight of the kite and the strength of the wind. The length of the lifting line is 1/2 of the width of the kite body.

9. How to tie the lifting thread

Whether it is an upper lifting thread or a lower lifting thread, the rear end must be tied to the bamboo strip to prevent slow buckling and slippage. .

10. The connection between the fly line and the lifting line

Single-ring slip knot connects the pay line through the anti-torsion joint, wrap the pay line around once, tie a slip knot on the circle, and pull Lock it tight.
