Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Doesn't this make you realize something? lol
Well, it's just your typical zabuton frame, isn't it?
Below are some of our past projects.
Like this, for example.
Take this, for example. You can see something’s different from the photo above, right?
Did you notice?
That's because there's no void tube.
Of course, the area surrounding the pour location is left unreinforced.
It’s been about a week since the zabuton formwork was poured, so it’s now fully set.
Why didn't you include a void?
Anyway, I tried this out as an experiment, and first of all, it makes it easier to center the anchor.
And you can easily drill a hole right through it with a drill.
The reason is that since there are no voids, it’s easier to apply the trowel, making it easier to lay the material straight.
It looks great at first glance.
It's easy to spot the ink smudges, isn't it?
It's okay if there are a few cracks around the casing.
After all, it's just a backing on the pressure plate.
It's a little hard to tell, but this is what it looks like after drilling.
It's a bit hard to tell since the only close-up photos I have are of the anchor scale, but please bear with me lol
Please look at the hole in the back.
It's completely empty, isn't it?
This method isn't half bad, is it?
The drilling alignment doesn't stray that much, and since you're really grinding away with the bit, it's easy to drill a hole through mortar.
Maybe we don't need to remove the box after all.
This method might actually be easier when working within the zabuton frame.
Whether or not you do it depends on the director's knowledge and experience, but I highly recommend it.
You see them everywhere—people who say they can’t do this without that, or they can’t do that without this.
That's not true. There are lots of ways to do it.
It's just a matter of whether you have experience or not.
I think that if you try various things and gain experience, you'll be able to create something new.
See you later.
P.S.
The reason there’s no anchor in the hole shown in the photo above—where the drilling is complete—is that I did insert an anchor because of a problem, but then I pulled it out lol.
I'll get back to that incident later.
