Figures from nuts and bolts. Masters fasteners: Iron men from bolts and nuts

Good day to you, dear readers of our magazine "Master of Needlework".

Today we have a true master of your business from Belarus, Vitebsk - Oleg Khrukovitsky. The direction of the needlework in Oleg is very entertaining and unusual, from which I was delighted. In fact, simple bolts, nuts, carnations turn into people, animals .... I have never seen this, so I asked Oleg to answer our questions, for which he kindly agreed.

Masters Needlework (MR): "How long are you doing needlework, what exactly and how did they come to this? How it all began?"

Oleg :

"Does you can say needlework since childhood, it began with the fact that from the 4th 5 years I sculpted motorcycles from plasticine, the photos of which were printed in the 80s in the magazine" Science and Life ", tried then to cut out as in detail as possible .

Plus, the invaluable foundation is laid by parents - from the first class helped parents at the cottage in construction and by the economy. In the first grade, he made his first staircase, about 2.3 meters long, for which the father was not even afraid to come. On the this moment I can do everything in the household yourself (the furniture in the apartment gathered with his own hands on its own projects).

Those needlework which I am doing now (sculptural miniatures from nuts, nails and all metal trampions, if they can be called that) I do about 4 years.

It all started with the fact that on some site on the Internet I saw similar products and the post (Work log or master class, however, without a text description) of their manufacture, however, those products were made using welding and were larger, after a month again I came across the work of the master and hands were combed.

Enough necessary minimum Tools: soldering iron, soldering acid, nippers, Passatia and has begun work, 9-year-old son took the most active part. The first work was as a gift to relatives with whom we see every two years. Relatives were in the seventh heaven from happiness and this my first job occupies an honorable place in their kitchen far in Germany. If you compare the level of manufacture the first and work and what I get now, the difference is of course huge, but for the first work such amusing feelings ...

Of course, it was not necessary to focus on the work of other masters and in the first jobs you can find a certain similarity, but without this, not a single needlewood, an artist, inventor, cannot be invented for a second time ... But it can be upgraded ! The artists also studied in art schools, and they often draw the same paints, only someone in their work on the copying of other people's work does not move, and someone goes ahead and creates something new. So, in my work, I first left on the works that I liked and then, as the necessary skills gained.

After for your hobby I had to incur certain material costs, I thought not to offer me my work for implementation? Because The hobby is, of course good, but everything costs money- and materials, and the most valuable time, which is catastrophically lacking.

Work gladly accepted first in one art salon, then to another.

At this time to me for new work Need only the topic, or the desire of a person to gain the original souvenir, and then in the dialogue with the customer, I'm already trying to figure out the details to beat this topic with existing materials that are not so many: nuts, nails and other small scrap metal. Not all customers can formulate their desires in words and the material you need for work falls out of them to pull as if ticks. But what a tremendous pleasure you get when the customer, looking at the work done comes in a complete delight, this is the highest assessment.

Someone says that these sculptures from the nuts are primitive, but I am not insulted, such people I say to you 15 nuts and 4 nails, - Make them the thing that another person wanted to buy it (often not cheap) and when That he was delighted, not a single hunter flattened .... "

MR: "Your main activity. What is needlework for you? "

Oleg:

"Programmer, system administrator.

Needlework is a lesson, which allows you to cut off from around the world, similarly to the fishermen, they no matter how many fish they will catch, mainly sit with the fishing rod and immerse themselves in their thoughts. Also great pleasure when your work cause positive emotions Their owners or simply contemplates (somehow it says loudly :-)), probably it is the most important thing. "

MR: "What do your relatives say? Do you support you help?

Oleg: "At first, I created inconvenience, because He worked in the kitchen and occupied the entire table (half an hour laid out the tool and materials, half an hour collected, 4-6 hours of work on the weekend). But then equipped the workshop on the balcony and now I work there even in winter. There was not a single job that would leave my family to her indifferent, but so far I am like a shoemaker without boots, there is only a small owl at home from my works. The Son is actively involved in the work, I have something to convey, and he absorbs knowledge and skills as a sponge. "

MR: "How profitable now to do the needlework, what does it give you? Peace, interest, material assistance ... "

Oleg: "Profitable ... .. Probably if you do it all 27 hours a day. So far, there is no possibility to devote all your time, but there are already such thoughts. You have to do in your free time (after work and on weekends). "

MR: "Do you take part in fairs, exhibitions?"

Oleg: "No, mostly implemented your work through art salons and galleries, shops Hand-Made."

MR: "Do you teach your skill of people where and how?" Suddenly someone from our readers will want to learn to your creativity ... "

Oleg:

"School of craftsmanship has not yet opened ...

If you are treated for the advice, I do not refuse, usually in social networks people ask how and what to solder, paint, etc.

Competition is not afraid, after all, copies of work always worse than the original, And if someone gets better with my help than me - why not? I will be pleased that someone and I was a mentor. "

MR: "What do you think do people need such sites like ours, is there any benefits from this, master classes are needed?"

Oleg: "Such sites are undoubtedly needed, because many want to do something, but do not know what and how to start, and in MK, you can learn in detail from what, and most importantly - how to make something or another product. In some (in those who think that all manual details - Children's Creativity of adults, and not painstaking work, and the road of trial and errors, which except for their own experience and not pass) View MK can immediately discourage a desire, and other on the contrary, inspire and give confidence. "

We return to the topic: how to give the second life with unnecessary things. Of course, bolts and nuts are difficult to call unnecessary things, they, as they say, will always be useful in the farm. But to implement his idea, you can always find a dozen bolts and nuts.

So, we collect eight identical bolts - we will make hands and legs. One bigger bolt or hairpin from wheel Disc - It will be a torso. For the head, there was a suitable size of the ball from the bearing, if the ball is not available, you can take a nut of the appropriate size to comply with the proportions of the body.

To select any features of the face on the ball, take two small nuts.

Now we need electric welding. For welding small parts, it is best to use a semiautomaticate, but since I did not have it, I had to weld the metal figure with a conventional inverter electric welding. If there are no skills of electrical welding, you can ask for a friend or send the welder. You can also glue details two-component glueBut still cook will be much stronger.

So, we build the location of the parts into the future figure and grab.

In my case, there was an idea to make an auto mechanic figure and bolts, which in hand holds wrench And rests on a larger nut. And that a figurine has some kind practical useIt was decided to twist a coach for business cards with a diameter with a diameter with a diameter diameter and placed an autoslemer on it.

All welded, now it remains to paint. You can paint chrome paint, but I decided to paint in black matte color.

That's how a wonderful figure of the autoslemer was obtained from the bolts and nuts, which went to its destination: a stand for business cards at an acceptance in the car service.

Thanks for attention! Creative mood you!

Incredibly touching miniature compositions creates from conventional old bolts of Tobbe Malm. Just a few bends and a small bolt is converted into a person's figure. With the help of Tobby plastics, it is possible to transfer the diversity of feelings - despair, loneliness, tenderness.

A series of works is called "Bolt Poetry" ("Bolts" poetry). According to the author, even ordinary things can have a poetic sound. As Tobby explains: "Bolts in their form reminded me of the figures of people, and I felt, they have something to tell. I tried to recreate the usual human relationships, meetings and situations, and so born cheerful and sad stories about the mountain and joy, pain and spiritual warmth. Special poetic reality was created that he gave the name of the work cycle. "

However, the idea of \u200b\u200bTobby can not be called original. The figures of iron men from bolts and nuts make many craftsmen.

Selection photo from the Internet:

More than 50 unusual figures from fasteners made a resident of Omsk Alexey Petrov. He probably represented life on a distant mysterious planet Pherieleak. His heroes are in many ways similar to people, although they look like typical iron men.

Josh Wellonafrom Michigan gives preference to animals, especially dogs, heroes of iconic films and all sorts vehicles (from airplanes to motorcycles). Via welding machine And heaps of metal trifles it makes original souvenirs. Josh loves his dog nicknamed Woodson, so I called my workshop in his honor "Brown Dog", and part of the revenue from the sale of mini sculptures gives to the animal assistance fund.

This area, perhaps, it would have been necessary to give its own name for a long time ...)

Crafts from fastening material (nuts, bolts, screws ..) have long and firmly occupied their niche among souvenirs. For the creation of such a miracle, only fantasy and the ability to work as a soldering iron.
