But Doris.............................. it's $11.00/hr.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rv in the back, hot tub, compressor for bubbles (or you have to make your own!) lol

Seeing "crow's feet" in the Dr.'s eyes............ YOU want me to what? to prep the adjacent teeth for rest preps? You crazy.

44 yrs. of experience setting up dentures, C&B, some CAD/CAM, owned my own lab for 34 yrs.. At 62, I think I'm as mature as I'm going to get. An old analog technician, so I still remember pride in craftsmanship, and detail. I've only missed about week from work, and that included the days of...

It sure is!!. Seriously considering your welder. No one beats the Germans in making good products. Hope you didn't take this personally.

Affinity, Not doubting your word at all here man, but look on Alibaba.com. Same welders on ebay for $5K are $2,000.00 on Alibaba. All made in china. I'm going to PM you, and maybe we can work something out. Thanks again

Not looking to spend that much money, but I am looking for a welder. Are any of these argon welders good? How big of a tank does one need. I was in a jam, trying to cut and solder a case the other day. Took it to another lab and in 5 minutes they were done. I seldom need one, but that...

Thanks Dave................. maybe there is hope. I already have Exocad and an ST2 scanner. Talking with someone now about getting 3shape scanner/software for it's easy of learning. Also have seen many threads about how many more are in favor of ExoCad, primarily, and I agree, because of all...

yes, but when the bill collectors, call, they only ask for me. lol

It honestly has caused me doubt why I'm even in this business any longer. I saw work like Al's and was so inspired to give it more time, more practice, more energy, and each and every time I do, this kind of crap happens. It just leaves me feeling completely empty and useless. Listen I know...

I took your advice and "toned down" the whiteness on some old Vita metal tabs they used to sell for you to be able to mix porcelains on and try. Toning it down helped a lot! I've never done this before on a pfm, but I built the entire crown out of Extremely light enamel, and then covered it...

My sanity level is already on overload. This is one tough city to get accounts to even look at your portfolio. Gatekeepers!!!!!! It's been depressing as hell to go a year without a steady paycheck. After 44 years, may have to hang it up. We have a dental school here.......... sending to...

Wish I could. This guy still does tons of PFMS with 360 degree metal collars. What a PITA to wax, finish and polish all that. Even on anteriors. taught this by his predecessor who sold him the practice. No extra cash for all that additional work either!

out of town Doc/Patient, and all I have are some phone pics which aren't the best, but the pics I have include the Whole NWO and NW.5 holder! Messing with my eyes.

I agree with the opaque being a half shade darker. Have you ever just put lustre paste on opaque and fired it just to test it for shade? This shade, according to the out of town Dr., has some blue/gray tones to it, so I'm contemplating knocking down just a touch of the white opaque with just a...

Doc sends in #'s 12,13 with shade NOritake NW0 right. So I mixed up some opaque, mostly white opaque modifier, with white porcelain modifier basically serving as the dentine, covered with white enamel. Nailed the shade tab. I was happy. Patient comes in and these two were headlights compared...

Rob, Did you find the Lisi pressing and firing parameters? I've pressed a few and they cracked.

Hi Doris, Good to "see" you. Who are you with now for CC's? I'm with Card Connect and they suck! Take too much out in fees. HOpe things are going well. I've moved out of Va. into NC. Are you pressing Lisi? I need to find the pressing parameters from someone on here.

Rob, I was just on DT, and it seems like every day some docs are bitching about lab being sorry asses, and bitching about Glidewell. So, it the lab is so bad, why send to them other than price? I've also seen some crap from China.............. just saying. we spend a lifetime learning our...

YOU SHOULD READ DT! HALF HATE THEIR JOB, THEY MOSTLY HATE LABS.............. WE ARE IDIOTS REMEMBER? THEY ALL BITCH ABOUT GLIDEWELL............ WELL STOP SENDING TO THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DENTAL SCHOOLS ARE SENDING TO CHINA, SO THEY ALREADY HAVE A MINDSET OF THAT $100.OO CROWN. SEEN SOME GOOD...
