Woman Builds a Bamboo Furniture Set from Scratch
…using hand tools and some clever building tricks
By Rain Noe - November 7, 2018
Talk about self-sufficiency: This handy woman in China, who apparently resides near a bamboo grove, wanted a new furniture set. So she built it herself, from scratch and with local materials, using hand tools. Between the steaming/bending tricks, the pegs and the way she forms the lining for the sofa, there are plenty of clever techniques on display:

I don’t think we need to qualify that she’s a woman (on the headline or otherwise), it’s pretty obvious! 🙂 She is damn talented though!

I don't think you mean this is remarkable because she is a woman?

I haven't seen this much bamboo homeware since watching reruns of Gilligan's Island.

Core77, do you point out when a man does something by prefacing the headline that he's a man? No. You write "Designer" or "Inventor". Start being aware so the community can change for the better. Thank you.

Actually they do. From Oct 24 2018, “https://www.core77.com/posts/80557/Man-Devises-Clever-DIY-System-to-Load-Sheet-Goods-Onto-Roof-Rack-by-Himself?utm_source=continued_reading”. Nice try.

Nice! This has to be the kind of thing she does though. She definitely didn't just wing it. Too many specific techniques being done with a high level of competency to think she is just "crafty".

She seems to do everything with that cleaver/spade thing. That same tool she uses to chop down bamboo shows up when she cooks.

Her name is Li Ziqi (roughly pronounced Lee Tzuh-CHEE in English).
She's got a big following in China, mainly a food vlogger.Obviously she's got other noteworthy skills hidden in those rolled-up sleeves.!Report as spam
