Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Even if it breaks, I can just make the parts myself.

As for the cylinder I was working on the other day, I've finally finished it.

I welded this.

It looks something like this.

 

Set this up on the lathe, center it, and cut the threads.

Use a dial gauge to carefully center the workpiece.

Then, just cut a thread into this, and you're done.

Yes! I did it!! lol

The threading turned out great, and I felt like I’d saved a few hundred thousand yen. (Using my own time, though...)

 

Lately, I've gotten better at using the lathe, so I've been able to fix all sorts of things.

However, since I'm the only one who can use this, I'd like everyone else to learn how to do it too, but,

After all, any task that doesn't feel like "This is fun!" is nothing but a chore.

I'd really love to have a lot of fun and try out all kinds of creative ideas, but everyone else...

 

I think the joy of making things lies in being able to create exactly what you envision, just the way you want it.

It's the same with slope construction—it's really satisfying when it turns out just the way you imagined, isn't it!?

How can we convey the joy of creating?

There's really no other way but to have someone actually do this.

At the rate things are going, slope maintenance workers might soon become an endangered species, so,

We want to start recruiting thoroughly now so we can teach people the joy of making things, don't we?

I’d like to share the appeal of slope stabilization work and the joy of civil engineering.

 

Well, I don't think there are many places like ours that use lathes, but,

Once you try it out, you'll start imagining all the things you can do with it, lol.

That means that once the legal framework is in place, and once the anchor has been installed even just once,

This means there’s a chance to create something new next!

 

The first step in anything is just giving it a try.

Let's stop using age as an excuse. Since we're getting older and our time is limited, let's experience as much as we can and pass that wisdom on to the younger generation!

 

See you later.
