May. 15/2021 Repair a carrying chopsticks The carrying chopsticks have broken. I thought I'd buy a new one, but I decided to repair it because it was "MOTTAINAI". | 
|  |  | |
| 1.The upper side is a broken chopstick. I used to think that the material was wood, but if you look closely, it looks like bamboo. | 2.First, make a chuck attachment that grabs chopsticks. Drill a 7 mm in the round bar. | |
|  |  | |
| 3.Make a slit with a saw. | 4.Grasp the metal part of the broken chopsticks with a three-claw chuck.Then turn the bamboo part. | |
|  |  | |
| 5.This part is brass. Diameter 4.2 mm * length 15 mm. | 6.This is the material bamboo. | |
|  |  | |
| 7.Mark the edge of the bamboo a 8mm circle and use a hatchet and knife to shave it into a about round bar. | 8.Drilling 4.2 mm. | |
|  |  | |
| 9.Glue the brass parts and bamboo with ”Cemedine Super X2”. | 10.Turning to 7 mm. | |
|  |  | |
| 11.Turning it into a taper. | 12.From near the center to the tip, shave it in a square with a sander. | |
