《量两次切一次:木工测量与划线指南》· Measure Twice, Cut Once · Jim Tolpin · 2003
「量两次,切一次。」这句老话在我的脑壳里(那间满是木屑的腔子)嘲讽地回荡过多少次?说实话——数不清,多到跟我切错关键尺寸的次数一样。作者坦言:如果他肯花时间量两次,多半就不必切第二刀了。这本书写的不是老生常谈,而是帮木工第一次就量对。
全书从度量衡的起源、比例概念与家具设计标准谈起——黄金分割、维特鲁威的人体比例,这些并非猎奇的古董谈资,而是想成为更好木工的人都该理解并尊重的基本功。随后进入正题:如何画出准确易读的施工图与下料单(cutlist),如何把下料单分毫不差地转写到木料上,以及当错误终究发生时如何补救。
The truth is, countless times — as often as I’ve made critical cuts in very wrong places. I didn’t write this book to drive home platitudes. I wrote it to help woodworkers learn to measure right the first time. Layout is but another woodworking skill, a skill whose mastery is well within the reach of any woodworker.
