Mini Seeder Almost Complete: Testing (Part 2) | Adjustments
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Anyway, I went ahead and ran the water-filling test on the mini seeder the other day. Here’s how it turned out. I think it should be fine even with materials inside.

Mini Seeder Nearly Complete and Tested | Part 1
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I finished building the mini seeder lol. Here’s a test run before the water-filling experiment. The logo at the beginning and end… I wondered, “Why is that??”, but it’s okay for now lol. The mixer is wobbling quite a bit because the mounting jig is off by about 1 mm to 2 mm…

Envisioning the Jobs of the Future on Sunday | Slope Engineer's Drawing Time
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. There are far fewer cold days now, and we’re seeing fewer sub-zero temperatures here in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture. It looks like I won’t be able to carry out the antifreeze experiment I was so excited about... The reason is that the project has been delayed time and again, and we’re finally set to start in mid-March... I’m happy that the work has been carried over, but actually…
"Questioning Conventional Wisdom" Series (Part 1) | Rethinking the Construction Industry
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Around this time of year, I’m swamped with estimates, construction plans, and cost calculations for the next fiscal year.
