Metalsmith

He works on the orders for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and is in need of electrical equipment

Since the beginning of the war, metalsmith Vyacheslav Polakh has been working exclusively for the needs of the army: he makes brackets to strengthen dugouts, suppressors for rifles, power bumpers, etc. The purchase of a welding machine and consumables ($2,000) will allow him to additionally produce furnaces for dugouts.

Current status

The welding machine is in the workshop and is actively used in production

In particular, Vyacheslav uses it to repair military vehicles. As soon as he received the equipment, two cars of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in need of urgent repair were brought to the service station.

The remaining funds went to purchase 48 kilograms of plastic for 3D printing of military drones’ equipment, and 500 kilograms of metal, which will be used to make about 40 furnaces. A batch of the first 25 furnaces has already been sent to the military in Bakhmut.

Thanks to Keep Going donors, Vyacheslav Polakh received a new welding machine and all the necessary equipment.
With the help of the new equipment, the craftsman is already producing dugout furnaces.
All furnaces are designed to hold entire logs, which smolder at night and keep the place warm.

In addition to working with metal, the Kharkiv workshop also works with 3D printers. 48 kilograms of plastic for 3D printing was purchased with the remaining funds.

Fundraiser is launched

Until recently, Vyacheslav Polakh produced exclusive interior items and metal sculptures. The master's skills came in handy during the war as well. At first, he helped volunteers to make racks for humanitarian warehouses and cages for animal evacuation. Then he received requests from the military and began to make suppressors, repair trophy weapons, and set up the production of brackets for strengthening dugouts and 3D printing of parts for drones.

All this time, Vyacheslav Polakh works as a volunteer using his own equipment. As winter approaches, the number of requests from the military for wood-burning furnaces increases. To produce them, Vyacheslav needs new industrial welding equipment and a minimal set of consumables.

Join the fundraiser to buy much-needed equipment for Vyacheslav Polakh's workshop. When the necessary amount is collected, he will start the production of the furnaces, and we will keep you updated on his progress.

For several months, Vyacheslav Polakh has been providing soldiers with brackets to strengthen their dugouts
