Nws tag nrho pib nrog ib tug gargoyle.

Xyoo 2003, Kevin Stone tau tsim nws thawj cov duab puab hlau, lub siab 6-ft.-siab gargoyle. Nws yog thawj qhov project hloov pob zeb txoj kev mus deb ntawm kev lag luam stainless hlau fabrication.

"Kuv tau tawm ntawm kev lag luam ferry thiab nkag mus rau hauv kev lag luam stainless. Kuv tau ua zaub mov thiab khoom siv mis nyuj thiab breweries thiab feem ntau yog cov khoom tsis huv, "said Chilliwack, BC sculptor.

Lub WELDERtau tham nrog Pob Zeb txog nws txoj haujlwm tsis ntev los no, cov hlau tsis muaj steel, thiab kev cuam tshuam.

TW: Koj cov duab puab loj npaum li cas?

KS: Ib tug qub coiling zaj, taub hau mus rau tus Tsov tus tw, yog 85 ft., ua nyob rau hauv daim iav-polished stainless hlau. Nws yog 14 ft. dav nrog cov coils; 14 ft siab; thiab coiled, nws sawv hauv qab 40 ft. ntev. Tus zaj ntawd hnyav txog 9,000 lbs.

Ib tug dav dav loj uas kuv tau ua tib lub sijhawm yog 40-ft. stainless hlau [qhov project]. Eagle hnyav txog 5,000 lbs.

Canadian Kevin Stone siv txoj hauv kev laus hauv tsev kawm los ua kom nws cov duab puab hlau tuaj txog lub neej, txawm tias lawv yog cov zaj loj, dinosaurs, lossis cov neeg paub zoo xws li Twitter thiab Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Ntawm cov khoom tshiab ntawm no, zaj "Kev Ua Si ntawm Thrones" yog 55 ft. ntev ntawm lub taub hau mus rau tus Tsov tus tw. Nws cov tis yog folded, tab sis yog tias nws cov tis tau nthuav tawm nws yuav dhau 90 ft. Nws kuj tua hluav taws thiab. Kuv muaj propane puffer system uas kuv tswj nrog cov chaw taws teeb tswj thiab lub khoos phis tawj me me uas tswj tau los ua kom tag nrho cov li qub hauv. Nws tuaj yeem tua txog 12-ft. pob hluav taws txog 20 ft. ntawm nws lub qhov ncauj. Nws yog ib qho hluav taws kub zoo nkauj. Lub wingspan, folded, yog hais txog 40 ft. wide.

Cov xim yog ua tiav nrog lub teeb ci, yog li nws muaj ntau xim sib txawv tsaus nti thiab me ntsis ntawm cov xim zaj sawv vim yog lub teeb taws.

TW: Yuav ua li cas qhov no Elon Musk bust project tuaj mus rau lub neej?

KS: Kuv nyuam qhuav ua loj 6-ft. bust ntawm Elon Musk lub ntsej muag thiab lub taub hau. Kuv ua nws tag nrho lub taub hau los ntawm lub computer rendering. Kuv raug hais kom ua ib qhov project rau lub tuam txhab cryptocurrency.

(Editor's note: Lub 6-ft. bust yog ib feem ntawm 12,000-lb. duab puab hu ua "Goatsgiving" commissioned los ntawm ib pab pawg ntawm cov neeg nyiam cryptocurrency hu ua Elon tshis Token. Cov duab puab loj tau xa mus rau Tesla lub hauv paus chaw haujlwm hauv Austin, Texas, ntawm Nov. 26.)

[Lub tuam txhab crypto] ntiav ib tus neeg los tsim lawv cov duab puab vwm rau kev lag luam. Lawv xav Elon lub taub hau ntawm ib tug tshis uas caij foob pob ua ntxaij mus rau Mars.

Thiab thaum kawg lawv xav coj nws mus rau Elon thiab muab rau nws.

Thaum xub thawj lawv xav kom kuv ua tag nrho - lub taub hau, tshis, foob pob ua ntxaij, tag nrho cov hauj lwm. Kuv muab tus nqi rau lawv thiab yuav siv sijhawm ntev npaum li cas. Nws yog tus nqi loj heev - peb tab tom tham txog ib lab daus las duab puab.

Kuv tau txais ntau cov lus nug no. Thaum lawv pib pom cov duab, lawv pib paub tias cov haujlwm no kim npaum li cas. Thaum cov phiaj xwm siv ntau tshaj ib xyoos, lawv zoo li tus nqi zoo nkauj.

Tab sis cov txiv neej no nyiam kuv txoj haujlwm. Nws yog ib qhov project weird uas thawj zaug kuv tus poj niam Michelle thiab kuv xav tias nws yog Elon commissioning nws.

Vim tias lawv tau maj nrawm kom ua tiav qhov no, lawv cia siab tias yuav tau ua tiav hauv peb mus rau plaub lub hlis. Kuv hais rau lawv tias nws yog qhov tsis muaj tseeb kiag li muab qhov nyiaj ua haujlwm.

Tab sis lawv tseem xav kom kuv tsim lub taub hau vim lawv xav tias kuv muaj peev xwm ua kom tiav qhov lawv xav tau. Nws yog hom kev lom zem vwm los ua ib feem ntawm. Lub taub hau no yog txhais tes fabricated hauv txhuas; Kuv feem ntau ua haujlwm hauv steel thiab stainless.

TW: Zaj "Kev Ua Si Ntawm Thrones" no tshwm sim li cas?

KS: Kuv tau nug tias, “Kuv xav tau ib tug ntawm cov dav dawb hau no. Koj puas tuaj yeem ua rau kuv ib leeg? Thiab kuv hais tias, "Yog lawm." Nws hais tias, "Kuv xav kom nws loj, Kuv xav tau nws hauv kuv lub voj voog." Thaum peb mus tham, kuv hais rau nws tias, "Kuv tuaj yeem tsim koj txhua yam koj xav tau." Nws xav txog nws, ces rov qab los rau kuv. “Koj puas tuaj yeem tsim tus zaj loj? Zoo li ib tug loj 'Kev Ua Si ntawm Thrones' zaj? Thiab yog li ntawd, qhov ntawd yog qhov "Game of Thrones" zaj tswv yim los ntawm.

Kuv tau tshaj tawm txog tus zaj hauv social media. Tom qab ntawd tus neeg ua lag luam nplua nuj nyob hauv Miami pom ib zaj ntawm kuv ntawm Instagram.

Koj tuaj yeem yuav qhov ntawd yog tias koj xav tau. "

Yog li ntawd, kuv xa nws cov duab ntawm tus falcon kuv tau tsim, thiab nws hlub nws. Peb sib tham txog tus nqi, thiab nws tau yuav kuv tus falcon thiab npaj kom nws xa tawm mus rau nws lub tsev hauv Miami. Nws muaj ib tug amazing gallery.

Kuv pom cov duab puab no tso rau hauv dej thiab qhov chaw uas lawv yuav tsis xeb thiab nyob mus ib txhis.

Lwm qhov yog scale. Kuv tab tom sim tsim ntawm qhov ntsuas uas loj dua li lwm tus. Ua cov monumental sab nraum zoov uas ua rau tib neeg nyiam thiab dhau los ua qhov tseem ceeb. Kuv xav ua kom loj dua li lub neej stainless hlau daim uas zoo nkauj thiab muaj lawv ua qhov chaw nyob sab nraum zoov.
