[QUOTE="Inna-Hurry, post: 265944, member: 7958"] keroassidy- your sarcasm made me grin and want to share a memory with y'all. Thank you for that. When I first started college to be a lab tech I was "lucky" enough to work part time for a guy who had his lab in the back of his garage . He did not have any of the froo-froo equipment yet had a beautiful product. The tools do not necessarily make the product any better... But as I stood over a hot electric range with two canning pots boiling out flasks using a ladle I can still remember questioning myself... "Am I sure this is for me"? Splitting two hot flasks and putting them under four faucets of running water to flush the wax vs. a ladle and canning pot over a stove... In a hurry and not let the water flow only from the hole in the bottom of the ladle-- instead just dumping the entire ladle over the flasks--and you had orange dentures that batch??? hmmmmm. (Have had it happen) Pressing acrylic with a hand turning press or not even using one of those and squeezing them home with a big allen wrench and a screwdriver? Not a career solidifying moment. (Done that) Pressing the acrylic in a big boy to "however I feel today and how many flasks do I have?" vs. a Coe or Nevin pneumatic press with a gauge for a consistent result? hmmmmm..... (When you got 6 to pack and it's almost time to leave for the day--- it's one mix wham bam and outta there grand slams that day) ...next morning we can fill the porosity white pimples and grind in the bites for 15 mins.... I am a believer in the "good stuff". The only equipment that comes to mind that I have bought new was my Wells Quick Chuck lathe. I spend a lot of time with it so I want it nice. Just sayin'. Clients and staff are welcome in my lab anytime and I am good with having top shelf (the best I can afford)equipment. I invest in and update my equipment regularly.This works for me. Just my $.02. I respect anybody that works and have even more respect for anybody that works HARD. [/QUOTE]
