Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
Lately, the prices of all sorts of parts have been skyrocketing.
Even something small costs more than double what it used to, doesn't it?

The half-bushing I made last time for hanging

Last time, we made one set as a prototype.
I used to just bake them haphazardly, but this time I really went all out and made a whole batch lol
That said, it's only five sets, lol.

This time, I tried thoroughly heating the inside with high-frequency waves.
It might be almost indistinguishable from the manufacturer's version by now.
But it might be a little too strong—it could actually be stiffer than the rod...
Well, I guess I'm thinking it's okay for now.
It costs just under 70,000 yen if you buy it from the manufacturer, but if we make it ourselves...
All things considered, it's still a little over half the price, isn't it?
Since my model is the YD135, does that mean it needs a half-bushing of a certain size!?
Well, it looks like we'll eventually be the only ones supplying consumables.
I feel like unless we do this, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to cut costs.
See you later.
