A water pipe installer in Xiangyang, Hubei uses scrap materials to assemble pieces of exquisite "crafts", which frequently appear in various professional skill competitions.
Chen Junjian is a plumbing pipe installer.
Walking into his installation and operation room is like entering a "handicrafts" exhibition hall, which is filled with strangely shaped "babies".
Among them, the robots made of water pipes are the most, some holding swords, holding shields, and some lowering their heads in a contemplative manner... They have different shapes and are vivid.
The parts are ordinary PV water pipes, turning connectors, light bulbs and so on.
Chen Junjian introduced that in order to practice pipe welding techniques, he often picked up some discarded corners and scraps on the construction site to practice his hands.
By chance, a friend took his waste tube from his practice of welding tapered tubes home to make flower pots. Everyone said they looked good, like handicrafts, which triggered his inspiration to make handicrafts with scrap scraps.
In addition to making robots, flower pots, and car models, Chen Junjian also uses the hardness of water pipes to assemble and weld them to make many practical homes, which are artistic, environmentally friendly and practical.
