The post whore thread.

Good point. Dental tech has come a long way in my lifetime. Instant X-rays with a sensor and a laptop. Digital images of cavities and work performed. High-tech polymer fillings that don't require significant tooth drilling for mechanical bonds and mercury amalgam fillings. Those amalgam fillings eventually led to cracking teeth and more issues.

My wife had a similar procedure to the fun Irving went through. Had multiple root canals on the same upper tooth that would continue to get infected. She had an unusual root that they were unable to access from the crown and had to go in from the bottom/gums. Not fun.

Every year when I do my taxes, the IRS goes in through my butthole. Talk about pain.

Hopefully this holds up better than those dumb hooks I tried the first time. Still getting some undercut on the edges though.





Using a hand punch to get through 1/4" steel is no joke! I actually pulled a stitch in my mouth doing the first one.

Hand press in question.

This seems like a potentially useful website.

Tack the ends, weld down sides. Don't try to go around ends. Small parts/edges heat up faster. Work both parts same time, alternate passes.

Am not a trained welder, just my own observations over the years.

Definitely seems like trying to weld around the corners was unnecessary.

You'll have to drive to Dallas to pick up the personal lubricant.

What a screw job.
