"Ask Enta-san" has been updated on Isabou Net!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, the Isabou Net site was updated. It’s the “Ask Enta” section on the banner on the right of Isabou Net lol. This was back when I was about 6 kg heavier than I am now. (Totally unrelated!) Plus, it was freezing cold that day due to a cold snap, and I was working on the Go-Da Development project…
Seeing the results of the construction work will help me in my future projects.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. My lower back has been killing me lately. It’s especially bad when I stand up. To all you young folks out there! There’s no need to push yourself to lift heavy things! In situations like that, just get two people to lift it together! Anyway, the staff shortage is really getting to me, but I guess I just have to tough it out…
The Joy of Making Needle Bearings on a Lathe
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I made a needle bearing for a rock drill. It’s that part of the Koken Kogyo RPD-130C hammer! lol (Those in the know will get it lol) What do you think? It’s just a video of me grinding it down. Actually, I really love rotating parts…

External factors aren't the only source of insecurity.
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The job site the other day was absolute hell—freezing cold and super windy, lol. And today’s no different… Even though it’s sunny, the strong wind makes it feel cold. It’s crucial to avoid getting hit by the wind, but since we’re by the ocean… Anyway, moving on. Spray coating at this time of year…
I've decided to start filming more videos on slope and anchor construction!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. On a personal note, I’m starting work on-site today lol. Until recently, I was mostly doing design and cost estimation—boring? Or rather, I’d been getting a bit out of shape. Plus, we’ve already had a few New Year’s parties, so I’m really in the mood to get some exercise. That said…
Visual inspections alone aren't enough when checking machinery! Be sure to check for loose bolts!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Thanks to the cold snap, it’s gotten much colder all of a sudden. It’s the perfect time to make good use of your electric heating vest! Let’s be sure to take full advantage of these handy gadgets! The other day, I took apart and cleaned my spring drill. The reason was that the hammer case was damaged. The bolt…
Showcasing the Amazing Skills of Construction Workers!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I got in touch with a general contractor in Toyama Prefecture and asked them about various things. It seems the area around Toyama also suffered significant damage. Plumbers are working desperately to restore infrastructure such as the water supply. Also, at the request of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, one team has headed to the Noto Peninsula to carry out restoration work…
