Izithombe eziqoshiwe zensimbi zomqophi waseCanada u-Kevin Stone zivame ukuba zinkulu ngesilinganiso kanye nesifiso sokuvelela, zidonsa ukunaka kwabantu yonke indawo.Isibonelo esisodwa udrako othi "Game of Thrones" asebenza kuye njengamanje.Izithombe: Kevin Stone

Konke kwaqala nge-gargoyle.

Ngo-2003, u-Kevin Stone wakha isithombe sakhe sokuqala sensimbi, i-6-ft.-tall gargoyle.Bekuyiphrojekthi yokuqala esusa umzila we-Stone kude nokwakhiwa kwensimbi engagqwali.

“Ngashiya imboni yezikebhe ngangena kwezamabhizinisi.Bengenza izinto zokudla nemikhiqizo yobisi kanye nokukhiqiza utshwala futhi ikakhulukazi ngenza izinto ezingenasici,” kusho uChilliwack, BC umqophi.“Ngenye yezinkampani ebengiyenza umsebenzi wami we-stainless, yangicela ukuthi ngenze umfanekiso.Ngaqala isiqophi sami sokuqala ngisebenzisa izinsimbi nje esitolo.”

Emashumini amabili eminyaka kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, u-Stone, 53, uthuthuke emakhono akhe futhi wakha izithombe eziqoshiwe eziningi zensimbi, ngayinye enobukhulu obuyinselele, ububanzi, kanye nesifiso sokuvelela.Thatha, isibonelo, izithombe eziqoshiwe ezintathu ezisanda kuqedwa noma ezisemisebenzini:

 

 

• I-Tyrannosaurus rex engama-55-ft
• Udrako "weGame of Thrones" ubude obungama-55-ft
• I-6-ft.-ubude be-aluminium bust yebhiliyoni u-Elon Musk

I-Musk bust iqediwe, kuyilapho izithombe eziqoshiwe ze-T. rex ne-dragon zizobe sezilungile ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kulo nyaka noma ngo-2023.

Umsebenzi wakhe omningi wenzeka endaweni yakhe engu-4,000-sq.-ft.isitolo eBritish Columbia, lapho ethanda khona ukusebenza nemishini yokushisela iMiller Electric, imikhiqizo ye-KMS Tools, izando zamandla ze-Baileigh Industrial, amasondo esiNgisi, izihlakala zensimbi, nezando eziklamayo.

I-WELDERukhulume no-Stone mayelana namaphrojekthi akhe akamuva, insimbi engagqwali, namathonya.

TW: Zingakanani ezinye zalezi zithombe zakho?

I-KS: Udrako omdala ogoqayo, ikhanda kuye emsileni, wawungamamitha angu-85, enziwe ngensimbi engagqwali epholishwe ngesibuko.Wayeyi-14 ft ububanzi namakhoyili;14 ft. ubude;futhi ezisongile, wema nje ngaphansi 40 ft. ubude.Lowo drako wayenesisindo esingaba ngu-9,000 lbs.

Ukhozi olukhulu engalwakha ngesikhathi esifanayo lwaluyi-40-ft.insimbi engagqwali [project].Ukhozi lwalunesisindo esingaba ngu-5,000 lbs.

U-Kevin Stone waseCanada uthatha indlela yesikole esidala ekwenzeni izithombe zakhe zensimbi ziphile, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi amadragoni amakhulu, ama-dinosaurs, noma abantu abaziwayo emphakathini abafana no-Twitter kanye ne-CEO ye-Tesla u-Elon Musk.

Ezingcezu ezintsha lapha, udrako "weGame of Thrones" ubude obungamamitha angu-55 ukusuka ekhanda kuye emsileni.Amaphiko aso agongiwe, kodwa ukube amaphiko aso abembulwa bekungaba ngaphezu kwamamitha angama-90. Idubula futhi umlilo.Nginesistimu ye-propane puffer engiyilawula ngesilawuli kude kanye nekhompyutha encane elawulwa kude ukuze isebenze wonke ama-valve angaphakathi.Ingadubula cishe u-12-ft.ibhola lomlilo cishe ngamamitha angama-20 ukusuka emlonyeni wakhe.Iwuhlelo oluhle lomlilo olupholile.Amaphiko asongekile, acishe abe ngamamitha angama-40 ububanzi.Ikhanda layo licishe libe ngamamitha angu-8 ukusuka phansi, kodwa umsila wayo ukhuphukela phezulu ngamamitha angu-35 emoyeni.

I-T. rex ingamamitha angu-55 ubude futhi inesisindo esingaba ngu-17,000 lbs.ngensimbi engagqwali epholishwe ngesibuko.Udrako wenziwe ngensimbi kodwa welashwe ngokushisa wafakwa umbala ngokushisa.Umbala wenziwa ngethoshi, ngakho-ke inemibala eminingi ehlukene emnyama kanye nemibala yothingo oluncane ngenxa yokukhanyisa.

TW: Le phrojekthi ye-Elon Musk bust yavela kanjani?

KS: Ngisanda kwenza i-6-ft enkulu.ukuqhuma kobuso nekhanda lika-Elon Musk.Ngenza ikhanda lakhe lonke kusukela ku-computer rendering.Ngacelwa ukuba ngenze iphrojekthi yenkampani ye-cryptocurrency.

(Inothi lomhleli: I-6-ft. Bust iyingxenye eyodwa yesithombe esibaziwe esingu-12,000-lb. esibizwa ngokuthi “Goatsgiving” esigunyazwe iqembu labathandi bemali ye-cryptocurrency elibiza ngokuthi i-Elon Goat Token. Isithombe esikhulukazi salethwa endlunkulu kaTesla e-Austin, eTexas, ngomhla ka- Nov. 26.)

[Inkampani ye-crypto] yaqasha othile ukuthi ayenzele isithombe esibaziwe esibukeka sihlanya ukuze zimakethwe.Babefuna ikhanda lika-Elon phezu kwembuzi egibele i-rocket eya eMars.Babefuna ukuyisebenzisela ukumaketha imali yabo ye-cryptocurrency.Ekupheleni kokumaketha kwabo, bafuna ukuyishayela futhi bayibonise.Futhi ekugcineni bafuna ukuyisa ku-Eloni futhi bamnike yona.

Ekuqaleni babefuna ngenze yonke into—ikhanda, imbuzi, irokhethi, wonke umsebenzi.Ngabanika inani nokuthi kuzothatha isikhathi esingakanani.Bekuyinani elikhulu impela—sikhuluma ngesithombe esiqoshiwe sesigidi samadola.

Ngithola eminingi yale mibuzo.Lapho beqala ukubona izibalo, baqala ukubona ukuthi la maphrojekthi abiza kangakanani.Lapho amaphrojekthi ethatha isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka, avame ukuba nenani elihle.

Kodwa laba bafana babewuthanda ngempela umsebenzi wami.Kwakuyiphrojekthi exakile kangangokuthi ekuqaleni mina nomkami uMichelle sasicabanga ukuthi u-Elon oyithuma.

Ngenxa yokuthi babejahe ukwenza lokhu, babenethemba lokuthi lokhu kuzokwenziwa ezinyangeni ezintathu kuya kwezine.Ngabatshela ukuthi akunangqondo neze uma kubhekwa umsebenzi omningi.

UKevin Stone useneminyaka engaba ngu-30 ekuhwebeni.Kanye nobuciko bensimbi, usebenze esikebheni nasezimbonini zensimbi engagqwali kanye nasezimbonini ezishisayo.

Kodwa babesafuna ngizakhele ikhanda ngoba babenomuzwa wokuthi nginekhono lokufeza ababekudinga.Kwakuwuhlobo lwephrojekthi ejabulisayo yokuba yingxenye yayo.Leli khanda lenziwe ngesandla nge-aluminium;Ngivame ukusebenza ngensimbi futhi ngingenasici.

TW: Waqala kanjani lo drako “weGame of Thrones”?

KS: Ngabuzwa, “Ngifuna enye yalezi zinkozi.Ungangenza omunye?”Futhi ngathi, “Impela.”Uthi, "Ngiyifuna enkulu kangaka, ngiyifuna endaweni ezungezile."Lapho siqala ukukhuluma, ngathi kuye, “Ngingakwakhela noma yini oyifunayo.”Wacabanga ngakho, wabe esebuyela kimi.“Ungakwazi ukwakha udrako omkhulu?Njengodrako omkhulu 'weGame of Thrones'?”Ngakho-ke, yilapho umqondo kadrako othi “Game of Thrones” wavela khona.

Bengibhala ngalolo drako ezinkundleni zokuxhumana.Khona-ke usomabhizinisi ocebile eMiami wabona udrako wami ku-Instagram.Wangibiza ethi, “Ngifuna ukuthenga udrako wakho.”Ngamtshela, “Awu, empeleni ikhomishini futhi ayidayiswa.Kodwa-ke, ngine-falcon enkulu engihlezi phezu kwayo.Ungathenga lokho uma uthanda.”

Ngakho, ngamthumelela izithombe zokheshe engangiwakhile, futhi wakuthanda.Sabonisana ngentengo, futhi wathenga i-falcon yami futhi wenza amalungiselelo okuba ithunyelwe kugalari yakhe e-Miami.Unegalari emangalisayo.Bekuyithuba elihle kimina ukuthi ngibe nesifanekiso sami kugalari emangalisayo yeklayenti elimangalisayo.

TW: Futhi umfanekiso we-T. rex?

KS: Kukhona ongithintile ngakho.“Hheyi, ngibone ukheshe owakhile.Kumnandi.Ungakwazi ukungakhela i-T. rex enkulu?Kusukela ngiseyingane, bengilokhu ngifuna i-chrome T. rex elingana nempilo.”Into eyodwa iholele kwenye futhi manje sengingaphezu kwezingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zendlela yokuyiqeda.Ngakha i-T. rex engagqwali engu-55-ft, epholishwe ngesibuko yalo mfana.

Wagcina enekhaya lasebusika noma lasehlobo lapha e-BC Unendawo eseduze nechibi, ngakho-ke yilapho i-T. rex izohamba khona.Kungamakhilomitha angaba ngu-300 kuphela ukusuka lapho ngikhona.

TW: Kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukwenza la maphrojekthi?

KS: Udrako "weGame of Thrones", ngisebenze kuwo unyaka uqinile.Futhi-ke kwaba ku-limbo izinyanga eziyisishiyagalombili kuya kweziyi-10.Ngenza kancane lapha nalaphaya ukuze kube nenqubekela phambili ethile.Kodwa manje siyakuqeda nje.Isikhathi esiphelele okwasithatha ukwakha lowo drako kwakuyizinyanga ezingaba yi-16 kuya kweziyi-18.

U-Stone wenze ikhanda nobuso bukabhiliyoni u-Elon Musk nge-aluminium engama-6-ft.-ubude benkampani ye-cryptocurrency.

Futhi siyafana ku-T. rex njengamanje.Yagunyazwa njengephrojekthi yezinyanga ezingama-20, ngakho i-T. rex ekuqaleni yayingeqi isikhathi sezinyanga ezingama-20.Cishe sinezinyanga eziyi-16 sikuso futhi cishe inyanga eyodwa kuya kwezimbili ukuyiqeda.Kufanele sibe ngaphansi kwesabelomali futhi ngesikhathi ne-T. rex.

TW: Kungani amaphrojekthi akho amaningi kangaka ayizilwane nezidalwa?

KS: Yilokho abantu abakufunayo.Ngizokwakha noma yini, kusukela ku-Elon Musk ebusweni kuya kudrako ukuya enyoni kuya emfanekisweni ongabonakali.Ngicabanga ukuthi ngiyakwazi ukuhlangabezana nanoma iyiphi inselele.Ngiyathanda ukuphonselwa inselelo.Kubonakala sengathi lo mfanekiso unzima kakhulu, yilapho nginesithakazelo esikhulu ekuwenzeni.

TW: Kuyini ngensimbi engagqwali osekuyintandokazi yakho emifanekisweni yakho eminingi?

KS: Ngokusobala, ubuhle bayo.Ibukeka njenge-chrome uma isiqediwe, ikakhulukazi ucezu lwensimbi engagqwali epholishiwe.Umbono wami wokuqala lapho ngakha zonke lezi zithombe eziqoshiwe kwakuwukuba nazo emakhasino nasezindaweni ezinkulu, ezingaphandle zezohwebo lapho zingaba khona nemithombo yamanzi.Ngangicabanga ukuthi lezi zithombe zibukiswe emanzini futhi lapho zingeke zigqwale futhi zihlale phakade.

Enye into isikali.Ngizama ukwakha esikalini esikhulu kunesanoma ubani omunye.Yenza lezo zingcezu zangaphandle eziyisikhumbuzo ezidonsa ukunaka kwabantu futhi zibe indawo okugxilwe kuyo.Bengifuna ukwenza izingcezu zensimbi engagqwali ezinkulu kunezinhle futhi ngibe nazo njengezingcezu eziyingqophamlando ngaphandle.

TW: Yini engamangaza abantu ngomsebenzi wakho?

I-KS: Abantu abaningi bayabuza ukuthi konke lokhu kuklanywe kumakhompyutha.Cha, konke kuphuma ekhanda lami.Ngimane ngibuke izithombe futhi ngiklame isici sobunjiniyela kuso;amandla esakhiwo sayo asuselwa kokuhlangenwe nakho kwami.Ulwazi enginalo kwezohwebo lunginike ulwazi olunzulu lokuthi izinto zingenziwa kanjani ngobunjiniyela.

 

Lapho abantu bengibuza ukuthi nginetafula lekhompyutha noma i-plasma table noma into engingayisika, ngithi, “Cha, yonke into isikwa ngesandla kuphela.”Ngicabanga ukuthi yilokho okwenza umsebenzi wami uhluke.

 

Ngincoma noma ubani onentshisekelo yokungena kwezobuciko bensimbi ukuthi angene esicini sokubumba insimbi embonini yezimoto;funda ukwenza amaphaneli nokushaya amaphaneli abe yisimo nezinto ezinjalo.Lolo ulwazi olushintsha impilo uma ufunda ukubumba insimbi.

Isithombe sokuqala sika-Stone sasiyi-gargoyle, esifanekiselwa kwesokunxele.Okunye okufakwe esithombeni yi-14-ft.ukhozi olupholishiwe lwensimbi engagqwali olwalwenzelwe udokotela ngo-BC

Futhi, funda ukudweba.Ukudweba akufundisi nje kuphela ukuthi ubheka kanjani izinto futhi udwebe imigqa futhi uthole ukuthi uzokwakha ini, kuphinde kukusize ubone ngeso lengqondo izimo ze-3D.Kuzosiza ngombono wakho wokubumba insimbi nokuthola izingcezu eziyinkimbinkimbi.

TW: Yimaphi amanye amaphrojekthi onawo emisebenzini?

KS: Ngenza i-18-ft.ukhozi lwe-American Eagle Foundation eTennessee.I-American Eagle Foundation yayivame ukuba nendawo yayo kanye nendawo yokuhlenga e-Dollywood futhi babe nezinkozi zokuhlenga ezansi lapho.Bavula indawo yabo entsha ezansi eTennessee futhi bakha isibhedlela esisha nendawo yokuhlala kanye nesikhungo sezivakashi.Bafika bangibuza ukuthi ngingayenza yini ukhozi olukhulu phambi kwesikhungo sezivakashi.

Lolo khozi luhlanzeke ngempela, empeleni.Ukhozi abafuna ngilwenze kabusha yilolu olubizwa ngeChallenger, umhlengi oseneminyaka engu-29 ubudala.U-Challenger ube wukhozi lokuqala oluqeqeshelwe ukundiza ngaphakathi ezinkundleni uma lucula iculo lesizwe.Ngakha lesi sithombe esiqoshiwe ngokunikezela kwe-Challenger futhi ngethemba ukuthi iyisikhumbuzo saphakade.

Kwakumele akhiwe aqine ngokwanele.Empeleni ngiqala uhlaka lwesakhiwo manje futhi umkami ulungiselela ukubhala isifanekiso somzimba.Ngenza zonke izingcezu zomzimba ngisebenzisa iphepha.Ngenza isifanekiso zonke izingcezu okufanele ngizenze.Bese uzenza ngensimbi bese uzishisela.

Ngemuva kwalokho ngizobe ngenza isithombe esibaziwe esikhulu esibizwa ngokuthi “iPearl of the Ocean.”Kuzoba insimbi engagqwali engama-25-ft.-ubude, uhlobo lomumo obukeka njengesishiyagalombili onebhola elifakwe kwesinye sezikhonkwane.Kunezingalo ezimbili ezinyokanayo phezulu.Omunye wabo unama-48-in.ibhola lensimbi elipendiwe, elenziwe ngopende wezimoto ongunwabu.Ihloselwe ukumela iparele.

Yakhelwe ikhaya elikhulu eCabo, eMexico.Lo mnikazi webhizinisi wase-BC unomuzi khona futhi ubefuna isithombe esibaziwe esizomela umuzi wakhe ngoba umuzi wakhe ubizwa nge-“Pearl of the Ocean.”

Leli yithuba elihle lokubonisa ukuthi angenzi nje izilwane kanye nezinhlobo ezingokoqobo zezingcezu.
