After making the triangular plow head, it still needs to be fixed onto the wood.
There should be a hole in the back of the plow head to easily insert the wood.
Ma Lin still used a clumsy method, heating the plow head red and then sticking an iron rod into it to make a hole.
The plow head would deform.
So it needed to be repeatedly forged.
Then remove the iron rod.
The end of the plow head was hammered into an iron sheet to better wrap the wood, ensuring it wouldn't easily fall off.
How to shape an iron block? Actually, just use a low flame to keep the iron block hard enough, so that when hit, only minor deformation occurs, and shaping becomes easier. But it is difficult to forge geometric shapes.
Ma Lin didn't know why he encountered such problems.
He made over a dozen plow heads in a very clumsy manner.
They all looked ugly. But they were all usable.
So how should the plow head be mounted onto the wooden plow?
