Ngā tohutohu mō te whakakikorua o ngā taonga hōtēra me te whakarōpū i ngā taonga hōtēra mā te hanganga

Te mōhiotanga ki te whakakikorua i ngā taonga hōtēra He whānui te whakamahinga o te whakakikorua hei rauemi whakaoti i ngā taonga. Ko te whakamahinga tuatahi o te whakakikorua i kitea i Īhipa i te 4,000 tau ki muri. Nā te āhuarangi o te koraha pārūrū i reira, he iti noa ngā rauemi rakau, engari i tino aroha te hunga rangatira ki ngā rakau utu nui. I raro i tēnei āhuatanga, i hangaia e ngā tohunga te tikanga tapahi rakau hei whakamahi.

1. Ka whakarōpūtia te whakakikorua rakau i runga i te matotoru:
Ko te matotoru neke atu i te 0.5mm ka kiia he whakakikorua matotoru; ki te kore, ka kiia he whakakikorua moroiti, he whakakikorua angiangi rānei.
2. Ka whakarōpūtia te whakakikorua rakau e ai ki te tikanga hanga:
Ka taea te wehewehe ki te whakakikorua mahere; te whakakikorua tapahi hurihuri; te whakakikorua kani; te whakakikorua tapahi hurihuri haurua-porowhita. I te nuinga o te wā, ka whakamahia te tikanga mahere hei hanga i ētahi atu.
3. Ka whakarōpūtia te whakakikorua rakau e te momo:
Ka taea te wehewehe ki te whakakikorua tūturu; whakakikorua tae; whakakikorua hangarau; whakakikorua auahi.
4. Ka whakarōpūtia te whakakikorua rakau e te pūtake:
Papa whakairo o te whare; papa whakairo kawemai.
5. Te tukanga hanga hanga whakakikorua tapatapahi:
Tukanga: poro rākau → tapahi → tapahi → whakangawari (te korohū, te kohua rānei) → tapatapahi → whakamaroke (te kore rānei e whakamaroke) → tapahi → tirotiro me te takai → rokiroki.
Me pēhea te whakarōpū i ngā taonga hōtēra mā te hanganga
Ko te whakarōpūtanga i runga i te rauemi e pā ana ki te momo kāhua, te reka me te tiaki taiao, kātahi ko te whakarōpūtanga i runga i te hanganga e pā ana ki te whaihua, te haumaru me te pakari. Ko ngā āhua hanganga o ngā taonga ko ngā hononga mortise me te tenon, ngā hononga whakarewa, ngā hononga whao, ngā hononga kāpia, me ētahi atu. Nā te rerekētanga o ngā tikanga hononga, he rerekē ngā āhuatanga hanganga o ia momo. I roto i tēnei tuhinga, ka wehea kia toru ngā hanganga: te hanganga anga, te hanganga pereti, me te hanganga hangarau.

(1) Hanganga anga.
Ko te hanganga anga he momo hanganga tāonga rakau e tohuhia ana e ngā hononga mortise me te tenon. He anga pikau kawenga i hangaia mai i ngā papa rakau e honoa ana e ngā hononga mortise me te tenon, ā, ko te papa rakau o waho e honoa ana ki te anga. Ko ngā tāonga anga he mea kore e taea te tango i te nuinga o te wā.
(2) Te hanganga o te poari.
Ko te hanganga papa (e mōhiotia ana ko te hanganga pouaka) e pā ana ki te hanganga tāonga e whakamahi ana i ngā rauemi hangai (pēnei i te papa muka matotoru-waenga, te papa matūriki, te papa papa-maha, me ētahi atu) hei rauemi mata matua, ā, e whakamahi ana i te papa muka matotoru-waenga, te papa matūriki, te papa papa-maha me ētahi atu wāhanga tāonga. Ka honoa, ka huihuia hoki ngā wāhanga papa mā roto i ngā hononga whakarewa motuhake, i ngā titi porowhita rānei. Ka taea hoki te whakamahi i ngā hononga mortise me te titi, pērā i ngā pouaka o ngā tāonga tuku iho. I runga i te momo hononga, ka taea te wehewehe i ngā whare momo papa ki ngā mea ka taea te tango me ngā mea ka taea te kore e tangohia. Ko ngā painga matua o ngā tāonga momo papa ka taea te tango ko te taea te wetewete me te huihui i ngā wā maha, ā, he pai mō te kawe tawhiti me te hoko tākai.
(3) Hanganga hangarau.
I te whanaketanga o te hangarau me te putanga mai o ngā rauemi hou, ka taea te wehe rawa i te hanganga o ngā taonga mai i te tikanga tuku iho. Hei tauira, ko ngā taonga i hangaia ki te konganuku, ki te kirihou, ki te karāhe, ki te muka maitai, ki te papa rakau rānei hei rauemi mata mā te whakahāngai, mā ētahi atu tukanga rānei. Hei tāpiri, kei reira ngā kāpene o roto i hangaia ki te kiriata kirihou matotoru, ngā taonga i hangaia ki ngā rauemi pēnei i te hau, te wai rānei, me ētahi atu. Ko tōna āhuatanga he tino kore e uru ki ngā anga me ngā panera tuku iho.
