INzululwazi nguMhlobo osenyongweni wentombazana

I-Kretchmer idume ngokufezekisa iisetingi zoxinzelelo ezinqumamisa amatye anqabileyo ngamandla e-prong angama-12,000 eeponti nge-intshi yesikwere. Wavelisa iindlela zokuphatha igolide kunye neentsimbi zibe nemibala kwaye wayila iPolarium-iplatinam ehlala ifakwe iplatinam enokuthi idlale ngokudlala okanye igxothe ezinye iziqwenga ezinozibuthe, inyathelo elisondele kwiphupha lakhe lobucwebe obudadayo.

Intombi yakhe uClaudia, 35, uqhubela phambili nokugcina ilifa likayise kwaye aqhubeke nenkqubela phambili yakhe ngoyilo olutsha.

Kutshanje uzise umboniso we-Kretchmer trunk kukuphela kwe-B.C. umsasazi womsebenzi wabo: ICreole yase-Oak Bay uCarmichael, umyili owamkela inguqulelo yenzululwazi kumsebenzi wakhe.

Icwecwe lam endilithandayo leKretchmer kumboniso lidityaniswe nePolarium kwindawo yokutshixa umsesane weentlobo. Umsesane oMfihlo waNgaphakathi uqulathe iibhanti zentsimbi ezimbini okanye ezintathu ezenziwe ngemagnethi kunye nomyalezo obhalwe umntu obhalwe ngaphakathi.

Iziqwenga zeKretchmer ziqala kwi-2,000 yeedola ukuya kwi-30,000 yeedola.

“Wayefuna ukwenza izinto eziza kugqama, zibe zingaqhelekanga,” utshilo uKretchmer. Utata wakhe, owayenesidanga sobugcisa bobugcisa, waqala ukunkcunkca ngeentsimbi esemncinane. Uvavanyo lwakhe lwangaphantsi lwamkhokelela ekubeni afunde neenkosi zase-Italiya, avavanye ngesinyithi saseJapan esingaqhelekanga kwaye aphuhlise igolide eluhlaza kaHarry Winston.

Phakathi kwiminyaka yoo-1990 uSteven Kretchmer waqala eyakhe ifemu kunye nenkosikazi yakhe uAlma kunye nentombi yakhe uClaudia- awadibana nayo e-Itali. Amalungelo akhe awodwa omenzi wechiza kunye noyilo lwakhe lwamenza waziwa kwihlabathi jikelele, ngokunjalo nemikhwa yakhe yokusebenza engaqhelekanga. U-Kretchmer walungisa indlu yesikolo ka-1899 ukuze ibe likhaya losapho kunye nesitudiyo, apho iworkshop yayiquka ukuseta ngokwemveli kwegolide kodwa kwanoomatshini abafihlakeleyo abaphezulu -- abanye basetyenziswa yiNASA. Iisetingi zokuxinana kukaKretchmer zenziwe zazenziwa ngokubanzi kodwa azizange zenziwe kwakhona kumgangatho. Abatyeleli kufuneka basayine izivumelwano zokugcina iimfihlo.

Ngaphantsi konyaka emva kokufa kukaKretchmer, inkosikazi yakhe yasweleka. UClaudia wayegqibezela isidanga sakhe sobugqirha kwi-astrophysics kwaye wagqiba kwelokuba athabathe ishishini losapho, eseka ivenkile eScottsdale, eAriz.

“Ngenxa yemvelaphi yam yesayensi ibiyinto yendalo kum,” utshilo uKretchmer. Usungule umboniso wakhe wokuqala eyedwa ngo-2007 kwaye waphumelela iMbasa yeDolophu kunye neLizwe loYilo lwependenti edibanisa ezinye zezoyilo zikaSteven Kretchmer zakwangoko kunye nothando lwentombi yakhe kwiastronomy. Umphumo waba yiplatinam emangalisayo kunye nekroza legolide elihonjiswe ngamatye anqabileyo.

“Izinto zethu ‘ziphaya ngaphandle’ kodwa yiloo nto eyenza ukuba ibe yekhethekileyo,” utshilo uKretchmer woluhlu lwakhe, ongomnye wabali-10 abaqokelelwa kakhulu luSuthu.

Yayiluthando lwesinyithi olwatsalela uCarmichael kaVictoria kumsebenzi kaSteven Kretchmer. UCarmichael waziwa ngokuba yi "Platinam Princess" ngenxa yobuchule bakhe kwisinyithi kunye ne-alloys ephathwa ngobushushu. Ngo-2002, wacelwa iisampulu zobucwebe bakhe obutsha yi-Imperial Smelting Toronto kwi-symposium. Yayikude kakhulu kwizacholo zobhedu nezesilivere awayezithengisa kwiimarike zaseBastion Square phantse kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo.

Ngoku uCarmichael wamkela enye inzululwazi ngokusebenzisa uyilo oluncediswa yikhompyutha (CAD). Inkqubo yoyilo lwekhompyuter isebenzisa itekhnoloji ye-3-D ukwenza imifanekiso efana nobomi boyilo lobucwebe kunye nemilinganiselo echanekileyo uCarmichael anokusebenzisa koomatshini bakhe.

“Ndisazoba uyilo kunye nomthengi, emva koko ndilufake kwiCAD,” utshilo uCarmichael, unyana wakhe oneminyaka engama-25 uTrent Harris afunda naye. "Into oyibonayo kumfanekiso weCAD iyinyani kwinto oyifumanayo iyamangalisa." UCarmichael uthe itekhnoloji iyamvumela ukuba enze umsebenzi oneenkcukacha, emnika inkululeko ethe kratya yokuphonononga utyikityo lwakhe lweemilo zendalo ezinje ngee-swirls kwaye, kutsha nje, iinyibiba zecala.
