Woman Builds a Bamboo Furniture Set from Scratch
…using hand tools and some clever building tricks
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.
Mary Jane pillows. Nice.
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).
