toothpick, Taj Mahal
Taj Mahal
night,
time takes 10 days, with 10 thousand toothpick waste, 6 students make process scar
5 28, on the night of the seventh session of the College of Stomatology of Southwest Medical University, 6 students from level 2013 took 10 days to make a "Taj Mahal" with 60 thousand toothpicks and installed an automatic light bulb. Through the remote control bulb switch, the light is shining from the inside, magnificent, and finally won the first place results. However, the production process is twists and turns, the students are also scarred.
love architecture to make up for the first time
according to Lei Jie, the founder of the dormitory, 6 boys in their dorm, all like the building, are very impressed with the Taj Mahal. "Taj Mahal is a symbol of love, one of the most famous historic sites in India. The world cultural heritage is chosen as the new seven wonders of the world. We have always been very fond of it." Rejay said.
in the previous year's manual skill competition, rejay and his team made a Taj Mahal, which was made with chopsticks, and finally won the three prize. "Due to the lack of experience at that time, the production is not exquisite. This time we want to make up for the last regret."
after a thousand choices, they finally decided to use a toothpick, only to sell toothpicks, and they ran four or five times to the nearby shop, but they didn't find the ideal toothpick and had to buy it online. "The size should be consistent, the color should be unified, not too light or too dark, and the hardness must be appropriate."
building skeleton fingers are often sticky and bleeding
with no data map of Taj Mahal, rejay and his partners have to draw drawings over the photos. "Then we make the pedestal, we buy the whole piece of wood and make it into a block. In addition, 4 parts are made with small saws, and finally fixed together to form. Ray said that when the toothpaste was placed on the base, after the experiment, 5 consecutive shops were eventually selected to save time and reduce the gap as much as possible. "The gap error should not exceed zero millimeter, otherwise the texture of the base looks chaotic."
making skeleton is the focus of the whole process, consisting of eight side doors and four main gates. Stick the toothpick into a rectangle with 502 glue, and leave a large space on the top and bottom to make the window. The partition board on the doorframe is relatively troublesome, the length is very short, it is not easy to be fixed, and it is easy to stick to the hands. When you make windows, you need to put them on two sides, which is more three-dimensional. The side walls need to be done without gaps. Finally, through the assembly, the side door is completed. "The production of the main gate and side door is roughly the same, and the side door and the front door are all put together, and the structure of the first floor has a rudiment."
has no experience at the beginning. When a few small partners stick to toothpicks, they often stick their fingers together. They can not be separated for a long time and even tear the skin off. Sometimes, for the size of toothpicks, you have to use a pair of scissors to cut toothpicks. "When a small partner was cutting, he cut his index finger very deeply because of his excessive exertion, and he ran a lot of blood."
blistering toothpick blistering fire all test
and then do the first layer of small top, stick out the eight edges with toothpick, the size is not easy to grasp, two millimeters can not be stitched. Ray said that in order to make an outline, they had to break the toothpick.
they first thought of using blisters, hoping to BF the toothpick easily, but the soft toothpick was bent but not ideal, and the toothpick was very difficult to stick with the glue after it was dampened, so it was eliminated with blisters. Then I thought of using the fire to roast, while the roasting side broke the toothpick, but when it was operated, it was easy to burn the hands, and it was easy to roast toothpicks.
"if the force is uniform, and it does not harden, it is possible to succeed." After analysis, they found a specially made pliers, wrapped the pliers with multilayer paper towels and fixed with the transparent glue. The pliers were used relatively softly and labor-saving, with the skillful strength and skill, and finally the toothpick was broken.
looking for a cylindrical three person to drink 3 liters of bottled water
in order to make the main tower, the small partners find the right column everywhere. "When I brought three liters of bottled water back to my dorm room, I did not want to waste, and there was no suitable bottle to install. The two or three people drank 3 liters of water, and everyone was full." Small partners cut out the needed parts and lay the curved toothpicks on the top, and an ideal cylindrical base was born.
a side tower consists of a eight sided partition, eight rectangular arches, a hemispherical tower and a spire. The tower is the most difficult part. First use two semicircular cardboard to make the outline, then the curved toothpicks will be spread slowly. And the toothpick should be gradually absorbed, and there should be no deviation. "The top of the tower is also very careful, first with a few long toothpicks to do a good partition, and then gradually use the toothpick fan-shaped fill, the tip is carved with chopsticks, with the glue fixed after the final appearance." Rejay said.
the main tower is the enlarged side tower, but the difficulty is very great. The first is the arc of the tower, which is a great mistake. And all the other toothpicks that had been bent over the rest of the body did not have a large number of toothpicks. "It takes only eight days for a person to produce only one. In spite of this, we also threw away a tower. The friends are also very helpless.
column is divided into three layers, layer by layer and thin. After sticking the first layer, each layer is stuck to the upper layer, and then the three layers are enclosed at each junction, and a circle of brackets is attached under the circle. There are four small pagodas on the pylons, similar to the side towers. Because they shrink a lot, it is difficult to make them. After the
6 million toothpicks were built on the luminescent Taj Mahal
it was more beautiful to think that if they were able to shine, so the guys bought the automatic light bulbs on the Internet and could switch them through the remote control. Finally, a magnificent Taj Mahal was completed. "The whole process cost about 60000 toothpicks, which takes 240 hours per person, that is to say, his birth has lasted for 1440 hours." Lei Jie told Huaxi City readers that he bought more than 70 thousand toothpicks in total, some of which were damaged during the production process, and some of them were out of order.
there are many small details that will never be forgotten. If the pattern on the side wall of the base is very distinctive, it is completely forgotten. It is made with toothpick. "It's only a night's time, is the steps inside it very delicate?" The top and four sides of the tower are all with fine marks and chopsticks, which are not one and very fine. However, they are not successful every time. When they are formed, the wooden signs are broken and the partners are almost crazy. The window flower on the main door has the greatest degree of bending. It is both effortless and easy to break. It is not easy to make a toothpick.
