A New Idea Using Clip Spacers | Examples of Use

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. You know those rubber sheaths used in rebar insertion work, right? Like this one. Do you use them? I remove them whenever possible when placing an order. Since those things aren’t really necessary anymore, in a way, they’re a waste of taxpayer money, lol. And that brings down the contract price…

I Tried Wearing a Flat Cap (Nighttime Edition) | Visibility

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I took some photos and videos at night of that creative reflective cap I mentioned the other day. (It wasn’t me, though.) Here’s a comparison between daytime and nighttime! This is during the day. And this is at night. What do you think? Isn’t the difference striking?…

Incorrect Use of Coupling Covers | Accident Prevention

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Following up on my previous post, this time I’ll be discussing incorrect usage. Unlike last time, this involves an incorrect installation method. You can clearly see that the wire is sagging. It came loose when pressure was applied. (Since the wood screws on the coupling have been removed…)

Coupling Cover Test Video | Safety Equipment

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. In a previous article, I introduced a protective device for the coupling section of hoses used with spray-applied materials. Do you remember it? I just received some video footage of an experiment with that coupling cover (they sent it to me out of the blue, lol). I was just saying, “It’s tough without experimental data, isn’t it?”…

What Happened Next After I Wanted to Protect the Hose Couplings for Spray Materials!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. In a previous blog post, I talked about curing material hose couplings. Do you remember? lol If you don’t remember, check out the link below ↓↓↓↓ I want to cure spray-applied material hose couplings! That’s the one. I went ahead and made a prototype that can be cured…

Improvement Jigs to Eliminate Human Error (Part 3): Adjustment

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m hard at work right in the thick of Golden Week. We’ve got three job sites running full steam ahead. There aren’t many cars on the road during Golden Week, so it’s easy to get work done. That said, I’m already dreading the heavy traffic this coming weekend lol. Anyway, moving on—using the casing lifting device I made the other day…

Improvement Jigs to Eliminate Human Error (Part 2)

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I converted the design from the cardboard box I mentioned the other day into a 3D CAD model and headed to the hardware store first thing this morning. I bought this sheet of steel (T8 × 100 mm) and will be machining it. (Since I have a partner metal shop, the dimensions and sizing are perfect!) Next, I’ll take this to the bending shop…

Improvement Jigs to Eliminate Human Error (Part 1)

Hello, everyone. It's Enta. I made this lol. In my case, I always start by making a prototype out of cardboard. Making a prototype helps me visualize things more clearly than just quickly sketching out what I have in mind in CAD. And, I usually get the structure I had in mind with the cardboard…
