UMartin King, umthi owaziwayo weemithi, uzibona eyintombazana eqhelekileyo enomtsalane engaqhelekanga. Umntwana oneminyaka engama-28 ubudala waseDelaware County, PA, unikele ixesha elininzi lobomi bakhe ekugawuleni, ekusaleni, nasekusarheni iinkuni kukhuphiswano lwamaplanga olulawulwa ngamadoda kwihlabathi liphela. Kodwa ukwaphula ukungunda bekusoloko kuyinto yakhe.

"Ndixelelwe ngaphambili ukuba mna-okanye abafazi ngokubanzi-akufuneki ukuba banqunywe," uxelela Imilo. "Ngokuqinisekileyo, loo nto indenza ndifune ukuyenza ngakumbi. Ndifuna ukubonisa-mna isidingo ukungqina-ukuba kulapho ndihlala khona.

UMartha waqaliswa ukugawula iinkuni eseyintombazana eselula. Uthi: “Utata ligcisa lezityalo, kwaye mna ndikhule ndimbukela esemncinane kakhulu. “Ndandisoloko ndiwuthanda umsebenzi wakhe yaye ekugqibeleni ndandimdala ngokwaneleyo ukuba ndingamnceda. Ngoko ndaqalisa ngokurhuqa ibrashi ndaza emva koko ndathenjwa kwindawo yokucanda iinkuni.” Ngethuba wayekwishumi elivisayo, wayephethe i-chainsaw ngokungathi "ayikho into enkulu."

Ukukhawuleza kwiminyaka embalwa, kwaye uMarta wayelandela emanyathelweni kayise esiya ePenn State kwikholeji. Njengomntu wasekhaya, wayelusizi ngokushiya abazali bakhe kunye nefama ngasemva, kodwa wayenento enye awayejonge phambili kuyo: ukujoyina iqela leYunivesithi yaseWoodsmen.

"Isiko lokugawulwa kweenkuni ibiyindlela yokuphila kosapho lwam," utshilo uMartha, okwalilo nenxusa lebhanti kwiArmstrong Flooring. "Ubunzulu kunye nobungozi bayo, kunye nokubona imifanekiso katata wam ekhuphisana, zonke zindenze ndafuna ukwenza okufanayo." (Eyeleleneyo: Iifoto zasendle ezisuka kwezona ndawo ziyoyikeka emhlabeni)

Ngaba ukhuphiswano lokugawula iinkuni lubonakala njani kanye? Itumente zenziwe ngemisitho eliqela esekelwe kwizithethe zamahlathi-kwaye amandla oomama afakwa kuvavanyo kwiinkalo ezintathu zokugawula iinkuni.

Eyokuqala yi-Standing Block Chop: Oku kulinganisa intshukumo yokugawula umthi kwaye kufuna umntu okhuphisana naye ukuba anqumle i-intshi ezili-12 zepine emhlophe ethe nkqo ngokukhawuleza. Emva koko kukho iBuck engabodwa ebandakanya ukwenza ukusikwa okukodwa ngokusebenzisa isiqwenga se-16 sepin emhlophe usebenzisa isarha eneenyawo ezi-6.

Ekugqibeleni, kukho i-Underhand Chop, efuna ukuba ume ngeenyawo ngaphandle kwe-log ye-12- ukuya kwi-14-intshi ngenjongo yokuyinqunqa ngezembe lomdyarho. "Ngokusisiseko, yile blade yeepawundi ezi-7 endizisonga phakathi kweenyawo zam," utshilo uMartha. "Amantombazana amaninzi ayazifihla kwi-chopper yangasese kuba iyasoyikisa. Kodwa bendihlala ndiyibona njengethuba lokuzibeka phaya ndize ndiphumelele." Owu, kwaye uyintshatsheli yehlabathi kulo msitho. Mjonge esebenza ngezantsi.

Nokuba emva kwekholeji, uMartha wayezinikele kubomi bokugawula imithi. Emva kokuthweswa isidanga, wafudukela eJamani ukuya kusebenza efama ukuze abeke isidanga sakhe sezenzululwazi kunye nokuqalisa umsebenzi wakhe wobuchwephesha. “Bendifuna into yokwenza apho endenze ndaziva ngathi ndisekhaya,” utshilo. "Ke ngokujonga efama, ndaqala uqeqesho kwaye ndakhuphisana kukhuphiswano lwam lokuqala lwehlabathi eJamani ngo-2013."

Kwakuloo nyaka, uMartha wabeka indawo yesibini ngokubanzi. Ukusukela ngoko, wakhela i-CV emangazayo, ebeka iirekhodi ezimbini zehlabathi kwi-Underhand Chop kwaye waphumelela ubuntshatsheli behlabathi. Wayeyinxalenye yeQela laseMelika xa babephumelele iqela elalisusa iqela lehlabathi e-Australia ngo-2015.

Akunakuphikwa ukuba lo mdlalo ukhethekileyo ucelomngeni amandla omzimba-into eyenziwa nguMartha hayi ikhredithi kwiiyure zokungena kwindawo yokuzivocavoca. "Andazi nokuba mandibe neentloni okanye ndizidle, kodwa andiyi kwindawo yokwenza umthambo," uvumile uMartha. "Ndizamile ukuya kube kanye kwaye ndaziva nje ndingaphefumlelwanga."

Uninzi lwamandla akhe luvela kwindlela yakhe yobomi. "Ukuba nehashe, ndihlala ndihamba emahlathini ukuya efama yonke imihla, ndichitha ixesha elininzi nditsala amabhakethi amanzi, ndiphatha izilwanyana, ndiphakamisa izixhobo ezinzima, kwaye ndihleli ezinyaweni ixesha elininzi," utshilo. "Naliphi na ixesha ndifuna ukusuka kwindawo A ukuya kwindawo B, ndihlala ndizama ukubaleka, ukutsiba ibhayisekile yam, okanye ndikhwele ihashe lam, ngoko ndicinga ngeendlela ezithile, ubomi bam. ngu uyazinononga. Ungayichazanga into yokuba ndikhuphisana neeveki ezingama-20 ngaphandle konyaka. "

Kakade ke, uqhelisela ubuchule bakhe bokunqunqa izihlandlo ezimbalwa ngeveki. "Ndizama ukusika iibhloko ezintathu kwaye ndinqumle ivili okanye ezimbini, kathathu ukuya kwezine ngeveki," utshilo. "Ixhomekeke kakhulu kwimidlalo."

UMartha unethemba lokuba ngeli phulo litsha nangokutsala umdla kwabasetyhini kukhuphiswano lokugawulwa kweenkuni, uya kukwazi ukukhuthaza amanye amantombazana. “Ndifuna wazi ukuba akufuneki ukuba balingane nokungunda,” utshilo. "Akuyomfuneko ukuba uthathwe 'njengentombazana' logama uphuma apho kwaye ungumntu onguye kwaye wenza eyona nto ingcono onokuyenza. Nokuba wenza ntoni ebomini, ukuba uyawamkela umngeni. , uloyiso luza kuza.
