E mōhio ana tātou katoa, he mea nui ngā pūtu o te waka. Kaua e whakahawea ki tēnei nati hanga. He maha ngā tau ki muri, ko ngā pūtu hanga me ngā nati e hiahiatia ana mō ngā waka kua whakahoutia i roto i te whare i hokona mai i tāwāhi, ā, he nui hoki te utu. Nō muri mai, ka puta haere ngā pūtu hanga ā-whare. Kua heke te utu ki tētahi taumata e taea ai e te tangata noa te whakaae.
Ko te nati anake ka taea te whakakapi (me rite ki ngā niho o te pūtu whakapiri). I ētahi waka, ka whakaritea ngā miro o roto (he rite ki te mahi a ngā taupoki pūtu) ki runga i te kōpae toki, ā, ka wetekina ngā pūtu ina tangohia te pokapū.
Koinei te tikanga whakamau me te whakatika i ngā pūtu pokapū hanga, nō te momo pūtu kōpae toki, ā, ka whakaukia ngā pūtu ki te kōpae toki.
Ina wetewetehia te wheua wira, ko te taupoki pūtu te mea ka tangohia. Nō reira, ki te hiahia koe ki te whakapai ake ki te hononga pūtu hanga, me hoko noa e koe te nati e rite ana.
Tuatahi, ko te kounga o ngā pūtu whakarewa konumohe he rua te māmā ake i ngā pūtu taketake. E 16 ngā pūtu maitai e hiahiatia ana mō te motuka taketake. I muri i te whakakapinga i ēnei katoa ki ngā pūtu whakarewa konumohe, ka rite te taumaha ki ngā pūtu maitai e 8 o te motuka taketake. Ahakoa he iti te taumaha kua whakaitihia, e hia te nui o te taumaha kāore i te pūtake ka taea te whakaiti?
Tuarua, he pai ake te ātete o ngā pūtu hanga i te waikura i ērā o ngā pūtu maitai. Ka honoa ngā pūtu me ngā nati hanga koranu konumohe ki te tukanga whakapūngao konumohe kua whakakikoruatia, he kaha te ātete ki te waikura.
Tuatoru, he pai ake te kaha o ngā pūtu hanga i ērā o ngā pūtu maitai. Engari kaua e hoko i ngā pūtu me ngā nati hanga iti iho te kounga, rūpahu hoki. I te wā e hoko ana, me kōrero koe ki te kaihoko mō ngā whakatakotoranga me ngā waitohu o ngā pūtu me ngā nati.
He mea nui ngā pūtu whakapūmau i runga i ngā wira o ngā waka. Ka pā tika te kounga o ngā pūtu ki te āhua o te waka. Kāore he tangata e hiahia ana ki te whakatupu i ngā aituā koretake nā te mea he raruraru kounga pūtu.
