Evgeny Stepanenko Biography

For the three “machine -building conventions”, which we spent in 2 years, we met many builders who make interesting and beautiful castes in their small cozy workshops. Behind each machine is a person whose personality and history are reflected in their works. So often we don’t even think about what they are, these people, how they live, how they came to mechanical engineering.

With this article, we open the cycle of autobiographical portraits of our talents. Our first “guest” is Evgeny Stepanenko from the distant Siberian city of Kiselevsk. A talented and hardworking person, whose work we immediately described as sincere. Open the artist in yourself, here I’m going to Blaza, my main profession is a driver, I read the book “Open the artist” and thoughts climb into my head: who am I?

How do I live? Why am I striving for? By the way, I recommend reading. Fans of art helps a lot in self -development. I was born in the usual family: mom is a cook, father is a miner. He studied mediocre at school. Neither physicist, nor chemistry, nor, Russian with mathematics, were never interested. Well, here I am a dunce - I painted more in notebooks on the rear sheets.

After graduating from nine classes, I faced a choice of profession. The choice was small, as I decided to study at the school. Electro -gas welder or artist designer? There are not even basic skills for the artist, since I did not study in the artist and generally painted only in school notebooks. I decided to become a welder. It was simple to study - one notebook and a pen for all objects: sometimes you will draw a poster at the request of the teacher and the “nickel” is provided.

My training flew quickly, and when it came to practice, I got into the fur. Having worked a bit, I earned a ticket to Sochi, it was in a year. Once in this beautiful city, I got carried away with a tattoo. A lot of people, tattoos on bodies, bikers, - beauty! All this has become my weakness! But where to get information? There is no Internet, I began to ask Batu. He says that some kind of Zzhonka, a machine from a razor and a string in the army pricked.

I accidentally stumbled up in a bookstore on a book about tattoos, I saw a scheme of this miracle of innovative technology! Having immediately bought this book thank you, oh the miracle of the creator of this literature, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t go to the half of the hand with the party and I wouldn’t know how to make a machine tattoo, I started assembling a miracle of the aggregate from a motor torn from a player and a ballpoint pen.

But I am not enough and something is missing! And then a very cool shark is chosen and is in case of a nearby, and then another pattern from the same book. The cheapest, the most Chinese set after I have locked a couple of friends, I understand - well, this is not suitable for this all art! By this time I had the Internet and I went further: I want a tattoo already on my shoulder.

And what do you think I did? Of course, I ordered the most Chinese, the cheapest set of turkeys - I will be the coolest collar in the area with colored colors, disposable needles! Again, the sport is all affairs.

And already on my shoulder I piled horrors, attacked so that it was just tin, but everyone liked it. How can it be liked? Cars just do not work! How do they work and make such beauty from pictures on the Internet? He began to look for information, stumbled upon the tattooist website. At that time, I already married and two daughters were born. In the afternoon I built a house, and in the evenings I studied this “tattooist”.

I re -read a lot of information: from sterilization to colors, not to mention all the equipment that is required. I realized that I would not pull this whole thing financially, and another important criterion-you need to be able to draw, and not stupidly copy black and white pictures and think that you are a super artist! But something inside says: “And you try to learn, stole and continue!

You like to do this! I will not call them names and so everyone knows. But a couple of people must highlight: this is Igor Voron and Evgeny Ivanov. It was they who poked us with their nose into mistakes and deficiencies that we made in the process of creating our brainchilds. They sent us to teach chemistry and physics, drawing and related school subjects.

It motivated me, because at school I did not need it. I want to express my gratitude to these men. A new workshop and a drilling machine from the steering rack of the VAZ, starting to master engineering, I have already changed the house for the apartment, the third daughter was born. All nishtyak - live and rejoice. And again, this inside says: “Zhenya !!! You need a workshop, in the apartment there is no option to do it, although the first 3 cars were made right on the stool of the house!

Ducking a credit card and take a garage! Further - worse, because you need a lot of tools and consumables! Where to get it? To buy something, you need to sell something, and in order to sell something, you need to do something! In the garage we have an old Soviet drill, a Chinese half-dead grinder and an old welding machine, I am such an economist: what I had enough to do, then I bought it to work at least something.

Zhenya, you need a workshop! I’m going to the car repair shop and buy a steering rack from a vase for a penny and a drilling machine for myself-something already!Now you need to make a tattoo machine! From what? From a rusty piece of iron! We drill, saw, sharpen, weld, remember how cool uncles are poisoned from the group, turn the details - we repeat. And so, our beautiful frame is ready, then we take out wires, screws and springs through good comrades.

And the car is almost ready, you have to configure it! But how? We remember what the guru was taught! The method of trial and error we achieve a positive result each time everything has become better. And so she, a beauty, is my creation, which will be painful first, and then delight the owner and bearer of some masterpiece made by my evil from my hands! Do what you like!

So, for almost four years, step by step, I have been making my own cars, delaying the amount of cents from the sale of each in order to purchase consumables and tools. I built my space more or rather, I still build, where I get high from the work done. I would like to express many thanks to the guys who purchase my equipment, you help me develop and do not trample on the spot.

If something is wrong with the equipment, write and feel free! I am always ready to fix, fix, paste so that the equipment pleases its owner. Why did I actually spread these snot here? Yes, I just have been almost 35 years old, but I want to learn a lot more, which I strive for! It’s never too late to study, do what you like! Life flies quickly! S: Thank you for your attention.

I’m not going to teach life anyone, I just told his service E. Service and support.
