(Baonghean.vn) - In their spare time, people living along the Lam River in Lau village (Thach Giam commune - Tuong Duong) help each other build three-leaf boats to go fishing on the river to earn a living.

| Therefore, every few years, the Lau villagers who specialize in fishing help each other rebuild the sampan. This great work is done by the hands of the village craftsmen. Photo: Dao Tho |

| Mr. Luong Xuan Quy said: "If we spend money to buy a boat, it will cost about ten million, so in this free time, we often find materials and ask some people to help. If we do it quickly, the work will be completed after only 3 days. The most difficult and longest stage is when we balance the two sides of the boat. If it is slightly off, the boat will tilt unsafely when it goes into the water." Photo: Dao Tho |

| The nailing of the boat must also ensure balance between the inner and outer planks. Photo: Dao Tho |

| Mr. Lo Van Thoong, an experienced boat builder, said that when the boat is finished, there are gaps between the planks, so this technical step also needs attention. The craftsman will have to carefully chisel out the opening to seal it. Photo: Dao Tho |

| According to the locals, in the past, when making boats, their ancestors often used resin from forest trees to glue the gaps between the planks, but today there is a very strong wood glue on the market, so there is no need to go to the forest to find resin. Photo: Dao Tho |

| Although this is not a profession, with their experience on the water, the people of Lau village still enthusiastically help each other to make a living. Photo: Dao Tho |
