ʻO ka laula o ka maka, ʻo ia ke ana mai ka piko o ka niho a i ka lihi hope o ka maka. ʻOi aku ka ʻoi aku o ka ʻoi aku o ka ʻoi aku o ka ʻoi aku o ka ʻoi aku o ka ʻoi aku ka nui o nā lau ākea (ʻoi aku ka metala) a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hahai ʻana ma luna o nā huila huila ma mua o nā lau haiki. I ka ʻoki ʻana i nā mea ʻoi aku ka mānoanoa, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka ʻaoʻao ākea no ka mea ʻo ka hope hope, i ka wā i ʻoki ʻia, kōkua i ka hoʻokele ʻana i mua o ka maka, ʻoi aku ka nui inā ʻaʻole keu ka ʻae ʻana o ka ʻaoʻao. (Ma ke ʻano he kuhikuhi, hiki iā mākou ke kapa i ka ʻili he 1/4 a 3/8 ʻīniha ka laula i ka lau "ākea ākea".)
'Ōlelo Kūikawā: Ke ʻoki hou ʻana i kahi ʻāpana lāʻau (ʻo ia hoʻi, e hoʻolilo iā ia i ʻelua ʻāpana i ka hapalua o ka mānoanoa o ka mea mua), ʻoi aku ka pololei o ka ʻāpana haiki ma mua o ka maka ākea. ʻO ka ikaika o ka ʻoki ʻana e hoʻoneʻe i ka ʻaoʻao ākea ka ʻaoʻao, ʻoiai me ka ʻaoʻao haiki, e hoʻohuli ka ikaika i hope, ʻaʻole ma ka ʻaoʻao. ʻAʻole kēia ka mea i manaʻo ʻia, akā ʻoiaʻiʻo nō.
Hiki i nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi ke ʻoki i kahi ʻāpana liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka lau ākea. No ka la'ana, hiki i ka ¾-inihi-a-la'a ke oki i ka radius 5-1/2-inihi (kokoke) a hiki i ka 3/16-inihi ke oki i ka radius 5/16-inihi (e like me ka nui o ke dime). (E hoʻomaopopo: Hoʻoholo ke kerf i ka radius, no laila, ʻo kēia mau hiʻohiʻona ʻelua he mau waiwai maʻamau. ʻO kahi kerf ākea, ʻo ia hoʻi ka ʻoi aku o ka sawdust a me kahi slot ākea, hiki ke ʻoki i nā ʻoki radius liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka ʻoki ʻoki. ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī a ʻoi aku ka hele ʻana.)
I ka ʻeli ʻana i nā lāʻau paʻa a me nā lāʻau palupalu kiʻekiʻe e like me ka paina melemele Hema, makemake wau e hoʻohana i ka lau ākea e like me ka hiki; Hiki i ka lāʻau haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa ke hoʻohana i ka ʻili liʻiliʻi, inā makemake ʻia.
2.Band maka mānoanoa
Ma keʻano laulā, ʻoi aku ka mānoanoa o ka maka, ʻoi aku ka ʻoi aku o ka ʻāʻī e hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia. ʻO nā lau mānoanoa nō hoʻi nā lau ākea. ʻO ka ʻoi aʻe o ka haʻalulu ʻoi aku ka pololei o nā ʻoki. Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā lau mānoanoa i ka sawdust. ʻOi aku ka paʻakikī o nā ʻili mānoanoa ke kūlou a puni nā huila hui, no laila e kuhikuhi ka hapa nui o nā mea hana bandsaws i kahi mānoanoa a mānoanoa paha. Pono nā huila li'ili'i o ke anawaena i nā lau lahilahi. No ka laʻana, ua hoʻolako pinepine ʻia ka huila 12-inihi me ka 0.025-inihi mānoanoa (kiʻekiʻe) i ka ½ ʻīniha a ʻoi aku paha. Hiki i ka huila 18-inihi ke anawaena ke hoohana i ka maka manoanoa 0.032-inihi he ¾ iniha ka laula.
Ma keʻano laulā, ʻoi aku ka mānoanoa a me nā lau ākea ke koho i ka wā e ʻeli ai i ka lāʻau paʻa a me nā lāʻau me nā puʻupuʻu paʻakikī. Pono ia laau i ka ikaika hou o ka lau manoanoa a akea e pale aku ai i ka haki. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā lau mānoanoa i ka wā e huki hou ana.
