I hangaia e tētahi tohunga mahi toi o Airana tētahi pouaka nati kua whakakikoruatia ki te ōki kua taehia ki ngā rau tau te pakeke, mā tētahi kaihoko kaihanga wati.
I tana awheawhe i te rohe tuawhenua o Mayo, ka hangaia e Neville O'Farrell tētahi pouaka nati wōnati me te uhi ōki kua pania mō ngā wati motuhake.
Ko ia te kaiwhakahaere o Neville O'Farrell Designs, i whakatūria e ia i te tau 2010 me tana wahine, a Trish. E hanga ana ia i ngā pouaka hanga-ā-ringa mai i ngā rakau mārō o te rohe me ngā rakau tauhou, mai i te €1,800 ($2,020), me ngā mahi whakaoti me ngā taipitopito pakihi i mahia e Ms. O'Farrell.
Kei te US me te Middle East te nuinga o ā rātou kiritaki. "Kei te tono ngā tāngata o New York me California i ngā pouaka whakapaipai me ngā pouaka mātaaratanga," te kī a Mr. O'Farrell. "Kei te tono ngā tāngata o Texas i ngā humidor me ngā pouaka mō ā rātou pū," tāna tāpiri, ā, kei te tono ngā tāngata o Saudi Arabia i ngā humidor whakapaipai.
I hangaia te pouaka nati mā te kiritaki Airani kotahi a Mr O'Farrell: a Stephen McGonigle, he kaihanga wati me te rangatira o te kamupene Huiterangi McGonigle Watches.
I tono a Mr. McGonigle i a rātou i te marama o Mei kia hangaia he Ceol Minute Repeater mā tētahi kaikohi o San Francisco (ka tīmata ngā utu i te 280,000 Swiss francs, $326,155 rānei me te taake). Ko te Ceol, te kupu Airani mō te puoro, e pā ana ki te patu o te karaka, he taputapu e tangi ana i ngā hāora, i ngā hauwhā hāora me ngā meneti ina tonoa.
Ehara i te uri Airana te kaikohi, engari i pai ki a ia te whakapaipai Kereti noa i runga i te mataaratanga a Mr. McGonigle, ā, i whiriwhiria e ia te hoahoa manu āhuahanga i whakairohia e te kaihanga mataaratanga ki te mata me ngā piriti o te mataaratanga. E whakamahia ana tēnei kupu hei tohu i te pereti e pupuri ana i te pūnaha o roto mā te tuara o te pouaka.
Nā Frances McGonigle te tauira i hoahoa, te tuahine matua o te kaitoi me te kaihanga wati, i whakaaweawetia e te toi i hangaia e ngā mōneka o ngā wā o mua mō ngā Pukapuka a Kells me Darrow. "Kī tonu ngā tuhinga tawhito i ngā manu pūrākau e kōrero ana mō te 'Keol' o ngā hāora," tana kī. "He pai ki ahau te āhua o te piriti mataara e whai ana i te ngutu roa o te manu."
I hiahia te kiritaki kia hangaia he pouaka he 111mm te teitei, 350mm te whānui, 250mm te hohonu (tata ki te 4.5 x 14 x 10 inihi) mai i te ōki repo pouri i kitea i roto i ngā repo pīti o Airana i ngā mano tau ki muri. , rākau. . Engari i kī a Mr O'Farrell, 56 tau te pakeke, he "pūpū" ngā ōki repo, ā, he koretake. I whakakapia e ia ki te wōnati me te uhi ōki repo.
Nā te tohunga toi a Ciaran McGill o te toa motuhake The Veneerist i Donegal i hanga te marquetter mā te whakamahi i te ōki kua pania me te wahi sikamore mārama (e whakamahia whānuitia ana hei uhi mō ngā taonga puoro aho). "He rite ki te panga panga," tana kī.
E rua ngā rā i pau i a ia ki te whakairo i te tohu McGonigle ki te taupoki, me te tāpiri i ngā hoahoa manu ki te taupoki me ngā taha. I roto, i tuhia e ia "McGonigle" ki te taha maui me "Ireland" ki te taha matau i roto i te reta Ogham, i whakamahia hei tuhi i ngā momo tuatahi o te reo Airani, mai i te rautau tuawhā.
I kī a Mr O'Farrell e tumanako ana ia kia oti te pouaka i te mutunga o tēnei marama; i te nuinga o te wā ka ono ki te waru wiki te roa, i runga i te rahi.
Ko te wero nui rawa atu, e ai ki a ia, ko te whakakanapa i te kiriuhi polyester o te pouaka kia kanapa. E rua ngā rā i orohia ai e Ms O'Farrell, kātahi ka pania ki te kakahu miro mō te 90 meneti, me te whakahoki anō i te tukanga kia 20 ngā wā.
Ka hē pea ngā mea katoa. "Ki te tau he puehu ki runga i te kakahu," te kī a Mr. O'Farrell, "ka rakuraku pea te rakau." Kātahi ka wetewetehia te pouaka, ā, ka whakahokia te mahi. "Koinā te wā ka rangona ai te hamama me te kanga!" – tana kī me te kata.
