Hello, everyone. It’s Reiwa. The first year of Reiwa has begun. From a technical standpoint—for smartphones, PCs, and the like—it’s like a major version update all at once, lol. There will probably be a few glitches, but I’m sure they’ll be ironed out eventually. Formally speaking, this marks the transition from Heisei to Reiwa…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Day 4 of Golden Week? We’re working here, though lol. Well, those who can take time off should do so, and for those who can’t, oh well. And today is the last day of the Heisei era! Thirty years ago, I was 13 years old. How old were you all? And with this, the Heisei era is…

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…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Even though it’s the long holiday break, here’s today’s post. Today marks my 1,001st post. It seems I hit the 1,000 mark the other day, lol. I’d been thinking, “Wow, I’ve been writing for quite a while now,” but it turns out I wrote for 97 days on Ameblo and 904 days since moving here…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been thinking a lot lately—don’t we Japanese tend to look down on foreigners? Or to put it another way, we think Japanese people are amazing, don’t we? lol There are so many people who think the quality of Japanese work is the best in the world…

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…

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…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I got a message saying the toolbox I’d ordered a while back was ready, so I went to pick it up right away! What do you think? lol It’s a pretty big toolbox. It’s wide enough to fit snugly into a 4-metric-ton truck, and it’s 1 meter deep. As for the height, the boom of a 4-metric-ton crane hits…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. We just can’t seem to stop doing reverse-spin spraying… 100% of our projects this month involve reverse-spin spraying… The work just isn’t moving forward at all, lol. It’s actually kind of funny. We do a test spray, install the anchors, frame the zabuton, spray the zabuton, set the pressure-bearing plates…
