1,059 miles I logged on getting there on the iron horse. A good part of that in scotter heaven going through the Appalachains. It got a bit nippy in the low 50s.
Here is one of our hands on projects. We also did an upper molar. What an awesome teaching technique ! Breaking it down like this makes it so easy. Like the saying eating an elephant one bite at a time.
Russ approved and changed each step before we moved on to the next.
LOL and this hairy dude was hoping for a good report card.
Here we are waiting for our verdicts. Like walking death row for some of us. LOL
Every time I had mine perfect. I knew he wouldnt have to touch it. But everytime he worked it over. Im a really good waxer but Russ is much better. He is an awesome waxer.
It was a full house.
It was an honor to meet and sit at the feet of an international legend in the dental lab field. This was the 28th year of his course.
Its not always about the course. Its also the people in our field you are privilaged to meet and rub elbows with.
There were 4 or 5 Drs there and one from Calafornia brought her staff.
I heard one ask a tech for her business card. He always has Drs attending because it helps them with direct resins. Often these courses pay for themselves with new and out of state clients because they are always looking for labs that can do what they learn.
There were 4 cad operators that each dsign 30 units a day. And adj the contacts and occ on the ones they did the day before. All from one lab. All the full arch models are equlibrated before they get them. None of them had waxing experence. Of course, the course wasnt about waxing or really occ but making crowns the Dr dosent have to adjust.
There was a military tech that flew in from Germany.
I had the privilage to share a bench with this cool dude and his wife, Michael Gorsche. An awesome tech that specalizes in complicated cases.(Ive seen alot of his amazing work on face book) he also lectures alot on Cad Cam stuff because hes a Cad Cam and soft ware guru.
Ha Ha my wife saw this pic and said you know your old men when you have strings on your glasses.
Russ says there is no guarantee he will do anymore courses after this year !!!!!!!!
I think I can talk him into doing one more anterior course next year if we can get it to fill up. And that shouldnt be a problem, I know 4 people already that will go.
So keep your ears open if you are intrested. I think he is doing another anterior course in Nov but I cant go.
Anybody that says " Someday Im going to one of his courses" someday is now.
I promise I can make money off his princilpes.
