Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Lately, I've beenA Failure with the Zabuton FrameI see it.
So, let me explain what constitutes a failure.
Listed in no particular order.
- It's warped. It's twisted.
- Some of the edges are curled up.
- The middle is low.
- It's shaped like a kamaboko.
- It has an inverted kamaboko shape.
- In the opposite direction of the anchor
- The anchor heights are not uniform. (Staggered anchors are an exception.)
- There are no holes drilled for the anchors.
- The anchor installation angle has not been corrected.
- It's not thick enough.
- Battered.
- For some reason, it's small.
- For some reason, it's big.
Even though they're facing the same direction and at the same angle, this is what happened.
What's more, only part of it has gone up...
There is only one reason.
It is due to the site supervisor's lack of experience and knowledge. (Insufficient guidance of the workers)
This should be enough to secure it in place, though (in some cases, you might not be able to get the right angle).
First of all, when installing the load-bearing plate, it tends to tilt this way or that.
I can't seem to determine the orientation of the angle adjustment base when processing the head.
To be precise, if the pressure-receiving plate maintains a certain angle relative to the sliding surface, the tensile load changes.
Why Do We Fail?
As far as zabuton frames are concerned, there isn't really a specific method for making them.
The manufacturer says, “Do this” or “Do that,” but it’s really up to the people on the ground to figure it out.
The actual work is done on-site, and as long as we can give instructions to the craftsmen, they’ll get the job done.
As expected, the director's experience and knowledge play a major role.
In the end, it all depends on the director.
The other day, we were talking about how the curling iron leaves the hair with a curl of less than 1 centimeter.
One director says that's impossible.
But I know I can do it.
That's because I've seen plenty of craftsmen like that over the years, and there are lots of skilled slope-construction workers out there.
If you take a little time to teach them properly, you'll definitely end up with something great.
