At the time I came from Shanghai. We were traveling on a low budget and since flying was more expensive we took the train to Guillin and used local buses to get to Yangshuo. The train trip was wonderful, I love traveling by train. It takes about 22 hours or so but it so much more enjoyable then flying. You meet many people and I enjoy watching the surroundings pas by.

In fact the bisaigue is used after you have drilled the mortise with the hand held mortise bit, usualy 30 mm in France. You use the mortise chisel end of the bisaigue to brake the wood beetwen the drillings and you finish squaring with the chisel side.

I love to seeing the evolution of local/regional tools. What seems odd to me probably seems like an extension of his arm.
