His hobby of creating multifunctional sports equipment has sparked particular interest among local residents. A Turmush correspondent spoke with the master. "These are fully functional complex pull-up bars. The uniqueness of the design is that you can perform several different exercises on one such piece of equipment. It's very convenient to install in the yard: if you were to make a separate apparatus for each type of load, it would take up too much space. That's why I decided to combine all the necessary elements into one compact complex," Torogeldi explains.
The master's path to blacksmithing was winding. By education, he is a lawyer. "After finishing school, I received a legal education in the city of Karakol. I sincerely dreamed of working in law enforcement, but due to certain life circumstances, I had to return to my native village. At that time, relying on my practical skills, I took up blacksmithing and started working in construction. Even during my student years, I actively engaged in sports, but after returning to the village, I had to stop training due to the lack of suitable conditions. I thought long and hard about this problem and ultimately decided to set up a sports ground at least for myself," he shares his memories.
The idea of creating the equipment came from the internet but received an original development. "I started looking for ideas online and stumbled upon similar pull-up bars. By adding my technical solutions to what I saw and based on the available resources, I made them myself. Now the cost of one such complex is 8,000 soms, and those interested are eager to buy them. I firmly believe that in every home where boys are growing up, there must be such a pull-up bar," says the master.
Torogeldi has extensive experience working with metal. Previously, he made metal gates, canopies, and various decorative elements for houses. However, now his ambitions go beyond private orders. "In our village, there are brothers and friends who also work as welders. We have often discussed the possibility of joining forces to implement more large-scale projects. I have a cherished dream — to open a full-fledged blacksmith workshop, purchase modern machines, establish mass production, and thus create new jobs right here in the village," says the master.
In the future, Torogeldi plans to turn his hobby into a large workshop of his own. For now, he continues to work for the benefit of his family and fellow villagers. Torogeldi is married, and together with his wife, they are raising a child.
