c. Fish mouth<br />
Fish mouths, set up between two horiz<strong>on</strong>tal<br />
framework culms to support the whole, are <strong>of</strong>ten<br />
seen in ten<strong>on</strong>ing.<br />
Liner heads, functi<strong>on</strong>ing as fish mouth,<br />
must save the nodes and partiti<strong>on</strong>s. Make the<br />
head V-form by using the handsaw without<br />
damaging the partiti<strong>on</strong>s. Cut and pare into an<br />
arc c<strong>on</strong>cave, like a mouth fish, and make the<br />
head stick tightly to the arc <strong>of</strong> framework culm Figure 3.46 Fish Mouth<br />
(Figure 3. 46). Generally, the fish mouth upwardly holds the framework culm.<br />
d. Level infixing ten<strong>on</strong><br />
Level infixing ten<strong>on</strong> needs no processing <strong>of</strong> liner heads. Liner heads can be level <strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>on</strong>e end or two. If <strong>on</strong>ly <strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong>e end, the other end is fish mouth. Make two holes <strong>on</strong><br />
the infixing positi<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> the framework culm by using a hand drill, then cut and pare<br />
them to the holes whose diameter equals the liner head's diameter.<br />
The assembling <strong>of</strong> level infixing ten<strong>on</strong><br />
heads: to infix <strong>on</strong>e end and then pull the other<br />
culm away to make the other level head infixed<br />
into the ten<strong>on</strong> mouth. If it is a single level, insert<br />
<strong>on</strong>e end and pull the other end to the proper<br />
positi<strong>on</strong> al<strong>on</strong>g the last culm's directi<strong>on</strong>. Make<br />
the upward fish mouth lean tightly against the<br />
culm wall and the bottom into the ten<strong>on</strong>, tightly<br />
against the inner wall as well. Fasten the drilling<br />
holes by using bamboo nails to complete the<br />
