Ua hoʻomaka me kahi gargoyle.

I ka makahiki 2003, ua kūkulu ʻo Kevin Stone i kāna kiʻi metala mua, he gargoyle 6-ft.-kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ia ka papahana mua e hoʻololi ana i ke alahele o Stone mai ka hana ʻana i ke kila kila kila.

“Ua haʻalele au i ka ʻoihana ferry a komo i ka ʻoihana stainless steel. Ke hana nei au i ka meaʻai a me nā mea hana waiu a me nā hale kūʻai a me ka hapa nui o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe kino, "wahi a ka Chilliwack, BC sculptor. "Ma o kekahi o nā hui aʻu e hana nei i kaʻu mau hana kuʻikuʻi, ua noi lākou iaʻu e kūkulu i kahi kiʻi kiʻi. Ua hoʻomaka wau i kaʻu kiʻi kiʻi mua me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻōpala a puni ka hale kūʻai.

I loko o ʻelua mau makahiki mai ia manawa mai, ua hoʻomaikaʻi ʻo Stone, 53, i kona mau akamai a kūkulu i kekahi mau kiʻi kiʻi metala, me kēlā me kēia mea paʻakikī i ka nui, ka laulā, a me ka makemake. E lawe, no ka laʻana, ʻekolu kiʻi kiʻi i kēia manawa i hoʻopau ʻia a i ʻole i nā hana:

 

 

• He 55-ft.-lōʻihi Tyrannosaurus rex

Ua hoʻopau ʻia ka Musk bust, aʻo ka T. rex a me nā kiʻi kiʻi dragon e mākaukau ma hope o kēia makahiki a i ʻole 2023.

Hana ʻia ka hapa nui o kāna hana ma kāna 4,000-sq.-ft. hale kūʻai ma British Columbia, kahi āna e makemake ai e hana pū me nā mīkini wiliwili ʻo Miller Electric, nā huahana KMS Tools, Baileigh Industrial power hammers, nā huila Pelekane, metala shrinker stretchers, a me planishing hama.

Ka WELDERUa kamaʻilio pū me Stone e pili ana i kāna mau hana hou, ke kila kila, a me nā mana.

TW: Pehea ka nui o kēia mau kiʻi kiʻi āu?

KS: He deragona wili kahiko, ke poʻo a ka huelo, he 85 ft., i hana ʻia i loko o ke kila kila i hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia. He 14 ft. ka laula me na wili; 14 ft. kiʻekiʻe; a wili ʻia, kū ʻo ia ma lalo o 40 ft. lōʻihi. ʻO ke kaumaha o kēlā deragona ma kahi o 9,000 paona.

ʻO kahi ʻaeto nui aʻu i kūkulu ai i ka manawa like he 40-ft. kila kila [project]. He 5,000 paona paha ke kaumaha o ka aeto.

Lawe ʻo Kanada ʻo Kevin Stone i kahi ala kahiko e hana i kāna mau kiʻi metala i ola, inā paha he mau ʻīlio hihiu nui, dinosaur, a i ʻole nā ​​​​kānaka lehulehu kaulana e like me Twitter a me Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

ʻO nā'āpana hou maʻaneʻi,ʻo ka "Game of Thrones" dragon he 55 ft. ka lōʻihi mai ke poʻo a ka huelo. Ua pelu ʻia kona mau ʻēheu, akā inā e wehe ʻia kona mau ʻēheu, ua ʻoi aku ke kiʻekiʻe o 90 kapuaʻi. Loaʻa iaʻu kahi ʻōnaehana propane puffer aʻu e hoʻomalu ai me ka mana mamao a me kahi kamepiula liʻiliʻi mamao e hoʻoikaika i nā kiwi āpau i loko. Hiki iā ia ke pana ma kahi o 12-ft. poepoe ahi ma kahi o 20 ft. mai kona waha aku. He ʻōnaehana ahi maikaʻi loa. ʻO ka ʻēheu, pelu ʻia, ma kahi o 40 ft. ākea. ʻO kona poʻo ma kahi o 8 ft. wale nō mai ka honua aku, akā piʻi kona huelo i 35 ft. i ka lewa.

ʻO ka T. rex he 55 ft. ka lōʻihi a ʻo ke kaumaha ma kahi o 17,000 lbs. i ke kila kuhiliʻole i hoʻonani ʻia. Hana ʻia ka deragona i ke kila akā ua mālama ʻia i ka wela a waiho ʻia me ka wela. Hana ʻia ke kala me ka lama, no laila he nui nā kala ʻeleʻele like ʻole a me nā kala anuenue liʻiliʻi ma muli o ka lamalama.

TW: Pehea i ola ai kēia papahana Elon Musk bust?

KS: Ua hana au i kahi 6-ft nui. ka ʻūhā o ka maka a me ke poʻo o Elon Musk. Ua hana wau i kona poʻo holoʻokoʻa mai kahi hoʻohālikelike kamepiula. Ua noi ʻia au e hana i kahi papahana no kahi hui cryptocurrency.

(Editor's note: The 6-ft. bust is one part of a 12,000-lb. sculpture called "Goatsgiving" commanded by a group of cryptocurrency enthusiasts call Elon Goat Token. Ua hāʻawiʻia ke kiʻi nui i ke keʻena nui o Tesla ma Austin, Texas, ma Nov. 26.)

Ua hoʻolimalima ʻo [ka hui crypto] i kekahi e hoʻolālā iā lākou i kahi kiʻi kiʻi pupule no ke kūʻai aku. Ua makemake lākou i ke poʻo o Elon ma luna o ke kao e holo ana i ka pōhaku i Mars. Ua makemake lākou e hoʻohana ia mea e kūʻai aku i kā lākou cryptocurrency. I ka pau ʻana o kā lākou kūʻai ʻana, makemake lākou e hoʻokele a hōʻike aku. A makemake lākou e lawe iā Elon a hāʻawi iā ia.

Ua makemake mua lākou iaʻu e hana i nā mea a pau - ke poʻo, ke kao, ka rocket, nā hana holoʻokoʻa. Ua hāʻawi aku au iā lākou i ke kumukūʻai a pehea ka lōʻihi. He kumu kūʻai nui loa ia—ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i kahi kiʻi kiʻi miliona.

Loaʻa iaʻu ka nui o kēia mau nīnau. Ke hoʻomaka lākou e ʻike i nā kiʻi, hoʻomaka lākou e ʻike i ke kumukūʻai o kēia mau papahana. Ke lawe ʻia nā papahana ma mua o hoʻokahi makahiki, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kumukūʻai.

Akā makemake nui kēia poʻe i kaʻu hana. He hana ʻano ʻē ia i manaʻo mua kaʻu wahine ʻo Michelle a me aʻu ʻo Elon ke kauoha nei.

Ma muli o ko lākou ʻano wikiwiki e hoʻokō i kēia, manaʻolana lākou e hoʻokō i kēia i loko o ʻekolu a ʻehā mahina. Ua haʻi wau iā lākou he mea maoli ʻole ia i ka nui o ka hana.

Aia ʻo Kevin Stone i ka ʻoihana no kahi o 30 mau makahiki. Me nā ʻoihana metala, ua hana ʻo ia i ka ʻoihana ferry a me nā ʻoihana kila kuhili ʻole a me nā lāʻau wela.

Akā, makemake mau lākou iaʻu e kūkulu i ke poʻo no ka mea ua manaʻo lākou ua loaʻa iaʻu nā mākau e hoʻokō i kā lākou mea e pono ai. He ʻano hana leʻaleʻa pupule e lilo i ʻāpana. Ua hana lima ʻia kēia poʻo i ka alumini; Hana mau au i ke kila a me ke kila.

TW: Pehea i puka mai ai kēia deragona "Game of Thrones"?

KS: Ua nīnau au, “Makemake au i kekahi o kēia mau ʻaeto. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hana iaʻu?” A ʻōlelo wau, "ʻAe." Hele ʻo ia, "Makemake wau i kēia nui, makemake wau i kaʻu pōʻai." I ko māua kamaʻilio ʻana, ʻōlelo wau iā ia, "Hiki iaʻu ke kūkulu iā ʻoe i nā mea āu e makemake ai." Noʻonoʻo ʻo ia, a laila hoʻi mai iaʻu. “Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūkulu i kahi deragona nui? E like me ka deragona nui 'Game of Thrones'?" A no laila, mai laila mai ka manaʻo deragona "Game of Thrones".

Ua hoʻolaha wau e pili ana i kēlā deragona ma ka pāpaho pūnaewele. A laila ua ʻike kahi ʻoihana waiwai ma Miami i kahi deragona aʻu ma Instagram. Ua kāhea ʻo ia iaʻu me ka ʻōlelo ʻana, "Makemake wau e kūʻai i kāu deragona." Ua haʻi aku au iā ia, "ʻAe, he komisina maoli ia a ʻaʻole kūʻai. Eia naʻe, he falcon nui kaʻu i noho ai. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i kēlā inā makemake ʻoe.

No laila, hoʻouna wau iā ia i nā kiʻi o ka falcon aʻu i kūkulu ai, a makemake ʻo ia. Kūkākūkā mākou i ke kumukūʻai, a kūʻai ʻo ia i kaʻu falcon a hana i nā hoʻonohonoho e hoʻouna ʻia i kāna hale kiʻi ma Miami. He hale kiʻi kupaianaha kāna. He manawa maikaʻi loa ia noʻu e loaʻa ai kaʻu kiʻi i loko o kahi hale kiʻi kupaianaha no kahi mea kūʻai aku kupaianaha.

TW: A me ka T. rex kiʻi?

KS: Hoʻopili mai kekahi iaʻu no ia mea. “E, ua ʻike au i ka falcon āu i kūkulu ai. He mea kupanaha. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūkulu iaʻu i T. rex nunui? Mai koʻu wā kamaliʻi, makemake mau au i ka chrome T. rex ka nui. Hoʻokahi mea i alakaʻi i kekahi a i kēia manawa ua ʻoi aku au ma mua o ʻelua hapakolu o ke ala e hoʻopau ai. Ke kūkulu nei au i 55-ft., T. rex i hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia i ke aniani no kēia kāne.

Ua hoʻopau ʻo ia i ka hoʻoilo a i ʻole ka home kauwela ma ʻaneʻi ma BC He waiwai kona ma kahi o ka loko, no laila kahi e hele ai ka T. rex. Ma kahi o 300 mile wale nō mai koʻu wahi.

TW: Pehea ka lōʻihi o ka hana ʻana i kēia mau papahana?

KS: ʻO ka deragona "Game of Thrones", ua hana au ma ia no hoʻokahi makahiki paʻa. A laila ua limbo no ewalu a 10 mahina. Ua hana au ma ʻaneʻi a ma ʻaneʻi e holomua ai. Akā i kēia manawa ke hoʻopau wale nei mākou. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka manawa e kūkulu ai i kēlā deragona ma kahi o 16 a 18 mau mahina.

Ua hana ʻo Pōhaku i kahi pahu alumini he 6-ft.-kiʻekiʻe o ke poʻo a me ka maka o ka piliona kālā ʻo Elon Musk no kahi hui cryptocurrency.

A ua like mākou ma ka T. rex i kēia manawa. Ua kauoha ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he papahana 20 mau mahina, no laila ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ka nui o ka T. rex ma mua o 20 mau mahina. Ma kahi o 16 mau mahina a ma kahi o hoʻokahi a ʻelua mahina e hoʻopau ai. Pono mākou ma lalo o ke kālā a me ka manawa me ka T. rex.

TW: No ke aha ka nui o kāu mau papahana he holoholona a me nā mea ola?

KS: ʻO ia ka makemake o ka poʻe. E kūkulu wau i kekahi mea, mai kahi Elon Musk alo a hiki i ka deragona a i kahi manu a i kahi kiʻi kiʻi abstract. Manaʻo wau hiki iaʻu ke hālāwai me kekahi pilikia. Makemake au e ho'āhewa. Me he mea lā ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ke kiʻi kiʻi, ʻoi aku koʻu hoihoi i ka hana ʻana.

TW: He aha ka mea e pili ana i ke kila kila i lilo ia i mea e hele ai no ka hapa nui o kāu mau kiʻi kiʻi?

KS: Akaka, ka nani o ia mea. Ua like ia me ka chrome ke hoʻopau ʻia, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kahi ʻāpana kila kuhili ʻole. ʻO koʻu manaʻo mua i ke kūkulu ʻana i kēia mau kiʻi kiʻi a pau, ʻo ia ka loaʻa ʻana o ia mau mea i loko o nā casinos a me nā wahi pāʻoihana nui waho kahi e loaʻa ai nā pūnāwai wai. Manaʻo wau e hōʻike ʻia kēia mau kiʻi kiʻi i loko o ka wai a ʻaʻole lākou e ʻele a mau loa.

ʻO ka mea ʻē aʻe he pālākiō. Ke hoʻāʻo nei au e kūkulu ma luna o kahi pālākiō ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka mea ʻē aʻe. E hana i kēlā mau ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o waho e ʻohi ai i ka manaʻo o ka poʻe a lilo i wahi kikoʻī. Makemake au e hana ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ke ola mau ʻāpana kila kila nani a loaʻa iā lākou i ʻāpana ʻāina i waho.

TW: He aha ka mea e kahaha ai ka poʻe e pili ana i kāu hana?

KS: Nīnau ka poʻe he nui inā hoʻolālā ʻia kēia mau mea ma nā kamepiula. ʻAʻole, ke puka mai nei i waho o koʻu poʻo. Nānā wale au i nā kiʻi a hoʻolālā au i ke ʻano ʻenekinia o ia mea; ʻo ka ikaika o ke kūkulu ʻana ma muli o kaʻu mau ʻike. Ua hāʻawi mai koʻu ʻike i ke kālepa iaʻu i ka ʻike hohonu o ka ʻenekinia mea.

 

Ke nīnau mai ka poʻe iaʻu inā loaʻa iaʻu kahi papaʻaina kamepiula a i ʻole papa plasma a i ʻole kekahi mea e ʻoki ai, ʻōlelo wau, "ʻAʻole, ua ʻoki ʻia nā mea āpau ma ka lima." Manaʻo wau ʻo ia ka mea e ʻokoʻa ai kaʻu hana.

 

Paipai au i ka mea makemake e komo i ka ʻoihana metala e komo i ke ʻano hana metala o ka ʻoihana kaʻa; e aʻo pehea e hana ai i nā panela a kuʻi i nā panela i ke ʻano a me nā mea like. ʻO ia ka ʻike e hoʻololi i ke ola ke aʻo ʻoe i ke ʻano hana metala.

ʻO ke kiʻi mua a Stone he gargoyle, i kiʻi ʻia ma ka hema. ʻO ke kiʻi pū kekahi he 14-ft. ʻaeto kila kila i hana ʻia no ke kauka ma BC

Eia kekahi, e aʻo pehea e kaha kiʻi ai. ʻAʻole aʻo wale ke kaha kiʻi iā ʻoe pehea e nānā ai i nā mea a huki i nā laina a noʻonoʻo i kāu mea e kūkulu ai, kōkua pū kekahi iā ʻoe e nānā i nā kiʻi 3D. E kōkua ana ia i kāu ʻike no ka hana ʻana i ka metala a me ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i nā ʻāpana paʻakikī.

TW: He aha nā papahana ʻē aʻe āu i hana ai?

KS: Ke hana nei au i kahi 18-ft. ʻaeto no ka American Eagle Foundation ma Tennessee. Ua loaʻa i ka American Eagle Foundation ko lākou hale a hoʻopakele i kahi noho ma waho o Dollywood a loaʻa iā lākou nā ʻaeto hoʻopakele ma laila. Ke wehe nei lākou i kā lākou hale hou ma lalo o Tennessee a ke kūkulu nei lākou i kahi haukapila hou a me kahi noho a me nā kikowaena malihini. Hāpai lākou a nīnau inā hiki iaʻu ke hana i kahi ʻaeto nui no ke alo o ke kikowaena malihini.

Maikaʻi kēlā ʻaeto, ʻoiaʻiʻo. ʻO ka ʻaeto a lākou e makemake ai iaʻu e hana hou, ʻo ia ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo Challenger, kahi hoʻopakele i kēia manawa he 29 makahiki. ʻO Challenger ka ʻaeto mua i aʻo ʻia e lele i loko o nā kahua pāʻani ke hīmeni lākou i ke mele aupuni. Ke kūkulu nei au i kēia kiʻi no ka hoʻolaʻa ʻana iā Challenger a me ka manaʻolana he hoʻomanaʻo mau loa ia.

Pono ʻo ia e ʻenehana a kūkulu ikaika ʻia. Ke hoʻomaka nei au i ka papa hana i kēia manawa a ke hoʻomākaukau nei kaʻu wahine e hoʻopili pepa i ke kino. Hana wau i nā ʻāpana kino a pau me ka pepa. Hoʻopili wau i nā ʻāpana āpau aʻu e hana ai. A laila e hana i ke kila a wili iā lākou.

Ma hope o kēlā, e hana ana au i kahi kiʻi kiʻi abstract i kapa ʻia ʻo "Pearl of the Ocean." He 25-ft.-kiʻekiʻe he kila kuhili ʻole, ʻano ʻano kiʻi-ʻewalu ke nānā aku i kau ʻia kahi pōpō i kekahi o nā spike. ʻElua mau lima e nahesa kekahi i kekahi ma luna. ʻO kekahi o lākou he 48-in. pōpō kila i pena ʻia, hana ʻia me ka pena kaʻa he chameleon. He momi ia.

Ke kūkulu ʻia nei no kahi hale nui ma Cabo, Mekiko. He home ko kēia mea ʻoihana mai BC a makemake ʻo ia i kiʻi kiʻi e hōʻike i kona home no ka mea ua kapa ʻia kona hale ʻo "The Pearl of the Ocean."

He manawa kūpono kēia e hōʻike ai ʻaʻole wau e hana wale i nā holoholona a me nā ʻano ʻāpana ʻē aʻe.
