Learn the skills you can pick up in your free time, and practice for the big event!

2024/06/28

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

What do you do when you have free time?

I've got so much free time this year, so I guess I have no choice but to learn a new skill or two.

VP40

In our case, we have a lathe, so I guess I'll use it to practice machining screws, lol.

I'm currently on a business trip, so I'd like to pass on this kind of advice to the younger generation.

VP40 Screw

This is how you cut a thread.

 

Once you get the hang of this, you'll be able to cut SGP pipes with ease.

If you cut while reversing the direction, you'll be able to cut reverse threads as well.

 

I plan to gradually teach these kinds of techniques as well.

Next week, I'm going to teach screw machining at work!

 

Next up is machine maintenance, I guess ^^

The machines are getting cleaner and cleaner....

Seriously, there's no set here lol

The best days are the ones when you can still laugh...

 

See you later.

Since I needed them on the job, I built two iPhone apps myself.

Hello, this is Director Jou. I provide on-site support for civil engineering projects in Hyogo while sharing content on YouTube about the use of ICT at construction sites. This time, rather than discussing construction methods or equipment, this is more of a record of my desperate attempts. There was something I really wanted on site, but I couldn’t find it anywhere…

The Correct Way to Install Formwork Is Level (Horizontal) | Why Aligning It with the Road Grade Will Make Reinforcement Installation a Nightmare

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When I’m driving on the highway, I can’t help but keep looking at the road embankments—it’s an occupational hazard, isn’t it? lol The other day, while I was on the road, I saw a retaining wall that sloped diagonally to match the road’s gradient. Just as I thought, “Oh, that’s to match the gradient,” I also wondered, “What if there were rebar installers working on this…”

What Is Set Loss? | How Tension Stabilization of Ground Anchors Reduces Load and On-Site Countermeasures

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Young engineers often ask me, “Is set loss really necessary?” Come to think of it, even though the term “set loss” is thrown around all the time on job sites, there are actually a lot of people who’ve never had it properly explained to them. Back in the day, when I was installing ground anchors…

What Is the Moldam Method? An Explanation for the General Public, from a Field Perspective, of a Stone Masonry Adhesive Reinforcement Method That Reinforces Masonry “From the Inside”

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When I’m driving down country roads, I often see old retaining walls made of cobblestones, don’t I? Some of them are even arched outwards, and I find myself staring at them every time, wondering, “Is this really going to hold up?” lol. Those stone walls that our ancestors built one stone at a time really do make for a nice view…

Enta Goes to Mongolia! Part 4 | Traffic Jams in Ulaanbaatar, a Thermal Power Plant, and a City Full of Priuses

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Day 3 in Mongolia flew by, and now it’s Day 4. Today, we’ll leave the ger where we stayed around 9:00 a.m. and head back to Ulaanbaatar. My trip to Mongolia is nearing its end. I’ve seen the grasslands, gers, camels, horses, and giant boulders, but what awaited me at the very end was…
