What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

wait wut
did you have dental work done?
The way my tooth broke the root canal didn't happen. By the time they cleaned it up they didn't like the way it looked. So they decided to extract. My head didn't want to let go so they played tug of war for awhile. Now in a couple months when things real up I get to cough up $2k for an implant.
 
Yeah, how did that go? Any pain today? I've never had a root canal. I did have all four wisdom teeth out twenty years ago though. That was a week and a half of some serious discomfort afterwards...

Pain is manageable today. Tylenol and ibuprofen swap every 4 hours. Should be fine in a day or two. Yeah wisdom teeth are no fun. I have a couple that some day may have to go

well. root canals are actually awful for you. i read somewhere that 93% of breast cancer patients have a root canal on the side of the cancer. so you probably dodged a bullet.

although 2000 is a lot of scratch.

sorry to hear that.

Yeah in the long run the implant will be just fine. Definitely didn't want a crown and then an extract after it broke. The cards are already stacked against me for cancer. It's been in the family and frankly as a mechanic everything I work with causes it.

On a more upbeat note I'll have a new knife for Christmas.

Been there, done that (3 implants + a redo). It could be worse.
 
All done except marking, sheathing and sharpening. This is what I call the home stretch and visions of sushi dance in my head.

Great minds think alike. That's what we had tonight.

I someday may have to add a Wharnificent to my Wharntastic, and maybe a Prevail. What size blade and overall length is the Wharnificent?
