Isayensi Ingumngane Omkhulu Wentombazane

I-Kretchmer idume ngokuphelelisa izilungiselelo ze-tension ezimisa amatshe ayigugu ngamandla e-prong angu-12,000 intshi yesikwele. Wasungula izindlela zokuphatha igolide nezinsimbi phezulu kube imibala futhi wasungula i-Polarium -- ingxubevange yeplatinamu edonsa unomphela engadonsa ngokudlala noma ixoshe ezinye izingcezu ezizibuthe, isinyathelo esiseduze nephupho lakhe lobucwebe obuntantayo.

Indodakazi yakhe uClaudia, 35, iphokophele phambili ukulondoloza ifa likayise futhi iqhubeke nenqubekelaphambili yayo ngemiklamo emisha.

Usanda kuletha umbukiso we-Kretchmer trunk show kuphela i-B.C. umsabalalisi womsebenzi wabo: UCreole Carmichael wase-Oak Bay, umklami obuye amukele ukuqanjwa kwesayensi emsebenzini wakhe.

Isiqephu sami esiyintandokazi se-Kretchmer esibonisweni sihlanganise i-Polarium kukhiye wendandatho yezinhlobo. Iringi ye-Inner Secret iqukethe amabhande ensimbi amabili noma amathathu afakwe uzibuthe kanye nomlayezo womuntu siqu oqoshwe ngaphakathi.

Izingcezu ze-Kretchmer zisuka ku-$2,000 ziye ku-$30,000.

“Ubefuna ukwenza izinto ezizogqama, zingajwayelekile,” kusho uKretchmer. Uyise, owayeneziqu ze-master arts, waqala ukuncenceza ngezinsimbi esemncane. Ukuhlola kwakhe indawo engaphansi kwamholela ekubeni afunde nezingcweti zase-Italy, ahlole izinsimbi ezingavamile zaseJapane futhi akhe igolide eliluhlaza likaHarry Winston.

Maphakathi nawo-1990s uSteven Kretchmer waqala eyakhe ifemu nonkosikazi wakhe u-Alma kanye nendodakazi yokutholwa uClaudia -- ayehlangane nayo e-Italy. Amalungelo akhe obunikazi kanye nemiklamo kwamenza waqashelwa umhlaba wonke, kanjalo nemikhuba yakhe yokusebenza exakile. U-Kretchmer ulungise indlu yesikole yango-1899 ukuze ibe yikhaya lomndeni nesitudiyo, lapho indawo yokusebenzela yayihlanganisa ukusethwa kwegolide okungokwesiko kodwa nemishini eyimfihlo ephezulu -- eminye esetshenziswa yi-NASA. Izilungiselelo zokungezwani kuka-Kretchmer zenziwe ngomgunyathi kabanzi kodwa azikaze zenziwe kabusha ngekhwalithi. Izivakashi kufanele zisayine izivumelwano zobumfihlo.

Kungakapheli unyaka uKretchmer eshonile, umkakhe washona. UClaudia wayephothula iziqu zakhe zobudokotela ku-astrophysics futhi wanquma ukuthatha ibhizinisi lomndeni, waqala isitolo eScottsdale, e-Ariz.

"Ngenxa yesizinda sami sesayensi bekungokwemvelo kimi," kusho uKretchmer. Wethula umbukiso wakhe wokuqala eyedwa ngo-2007 futhi wawina Umklomelo Wokwakhiwa Kwedolobha Nezwe wependant ehlanganisa amanye amadizayini okuqala ka-Steven Kretchmer nothando lwendodakazi yakhe lwesayensi yezinkanyezi. Umphumela uba i-platinum emangalisayo nomlaza ocwebe ngegolide.

“Izinto zethu ‘zingaphandle’ kodwa yilokho okwenza zikhetheke,” kusho uKretchmer wolayini bakhe, oqokwe kwabayishumi abaqoqwa kakhulu wuSuthu.

Kwakuwuthando lokusansimbi olwadonsela uCarmichael kaVictoria emsebenzini kaSteven Kretchmer. U-Carmichael waziwa ngokuthi "i-Platinum Princess" ngobuchwepheshe bakhe bensimbi nama-alloys akwazi ukumelana nokushisa. Ngo-2002, wacelwa amasampula wobucwebe bakhe obusha yi-Imperial Smelting Toronto ochungechungeni. Kwakukude kakhulu nobucwebe bethusi nobusiliva ayebuthengisa ezimakethe zase-Bastion Square cishe eminyakeni engama-20 edlule.

Manje uCarmichael wamukela enye isayensi ngokusebenzisa i-computer-aid design (CAD). Uhlelo lokuklama ikhompuyutha lusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-3-D ukudala izithombe ezinjengokuphila zemiklamo yobucwebe kanye nobukhulu obunembile uCarmichael angabusebenzisa emshinini wakhe.

"Ngisadweba umklamo nekhasimende, bese ngiwufaka ku-CAD," kusho uCarmichael, indodana yakhe uTrent Harris eneminyaka engu-25 efunda naye. "Okubona esithombeni se-CAD kuyiqiniso kakhulu kulokho okutholayo kuyamangalisa." UCarmichael uthe ubuchwepheshe bumvumela ukuthi enze umsebenzi onemininingwane, okumnika inkululeko eyengeziwe yokuhlola izimo zemvelo zesiginesha ezifana nama-swirls kanye, muva nje, iminduze ye-cala.
