243 Binaka hoe (1/2)

The next day, we split into three teams to fulfill Camilo's request.

Liddy and Helen cut lumber to make the handle of the hoe.

Samija and Diana work on the sheet metal, and Rike and I make the hoe blade. The quality is, of course, ”civilian model”.

Since this is abandoned land, the shape of the hoe will not be a flat hoe, but a b*tc*u hoe - a hoe with four separate tips.

In the previous world of Japan, it is said to have been invented in the Edo period, but the prototype was made in the Yayoi period, and the iron version in the Kofun period, so it would not be surprising if it existed in this world.

Shall I show you how to make the first one?

Please.

I heat the sheet metal on the fire pit. I feel like I've missed this a lot.

After the sheet metal is heated, use the iron to make three stripes about two-thirds of the way up, and then roughly shape the sheet metal, making it branch out.

At this point, the temperature is dropping, so I put it in the fireplace to heat it again, but before that, I show the shape to Rike.

The shape is roughly like this.

”I see.

Then heat it up to the temperature where it can be processed in the fireplace. The flames from the fire pit sear my face, and I squint and wipe the sweat from my forehead. Still, I keep my eyes on the fireplace.

When it is just the right temperature, I remove it from the fire pit and place it on the anvil to finish. The hoe also has a blade, so the thinner the blade, the better.

Since this is a ”general model” and we were using cheats, we did not have to make any minor adjustments.
