thanks for the kind words mate, pain wasn't too bad after first few days just uncomfortable feeling and getting used to different teethies but already noticed some great improvements 😁

[@Vermilya]

I had the same work done except opted for the pop in and out dentures. Was a lot of cheaper but in hindsight I wish I would’ve done the more permanent version. Many of my lower implants have failed and I can’t wear the bottoms anymore. Plus they broke in half many times.

Getting that teeth done is not funny. It sounds like a great adventure. But trust me it's not comfortable. Mine was done early in the morning. I had to go and finish a job before sundown. A customer asked me why we're so rough among each other in the factory. I could not realy answer because of the swelling and numbness. Only later realised my mouth was bleeding all over my overalls. Not funny!! 😮

It's too bad your dentist didn't make a CEE-style video of your dental surgery. "As you can see, this molar's had a lot of wear and that lets a lot of debris get in there. Rather than ordering a new tooth from the manufacturer we'll be replacing it with a titanium insert. We can see that the last person to work on it did a real shoddy job which led to the incisor being pushed out of alignment so that one's gotta come out too."

I service the intra oral scanners, CBCT machines and mills that make those "pearly whites".

I also thank you for coming back in the ring so soon for our entertainment. Karen, thank you for the many editing hours, wonderful camera work and keeping Kurtis focused on his lines. What a team!!

Not to mention that they look great. I mean I'm a dude and they were immediately noticeable ... and actually influence the entire perception of someone's appearance. It's amazing how a single feature can do that, but, it was stark. And I always thought his teeth looked fine before. But these look great. Ironically ... unrelated, I've been whitening mine a bit for the last couple of weeks as I'd let mine get a bit yellow. It's the little things, ey?

I've broken bones. I've been married and divorced. I've had multiple kidney stones. I've also had the same dental work done. Let me tell you folks, the pain can be quite a lot to handle. Especially if you have any mental or emotional drop that follows the procedure, when things still need to be adjusted and are causing pain still. I sympathize with Curtis. It's not fun, it's not easy. All of the pain the first few weeks put me into a depression. What snapped me out of it, was getting married a month later and having an amazing smile for the first time in over a decade, and no more dental pain. Curtis, congrats man!

He must have had this going on for a while too. The posts take months to heal and setup before they're ready to support teeth. At least my implant post did.

The rub is that you do not fully understand that until you have experience and it takes time to get experience. That is part of the reason why you asked the question.

Thanks you three. And homeless dropping the toy, when he understood the parameters of the exchange, priceless. Love that goof ball, he reminds me of some friends with four feet that I've known.

Hi guys! What a beautiful job rebuilding that winch. I suspect there are a few Equipment Managers around the country right now that just saw how they can save a ton of money on their planned crane overhaul. It's really a first-rate rebuild. Well done! Kurtis, sorry for the pain and having to adapt to a new mouth, but I know from friends that have had it done that it was worth it. My closest mate went the full way on the implants 10 years ago. He said that the trauma of the mouth work wasn't the problem...it was getting used to talking, swallowing, eating and drinking with a new mouth that he had to adjust to. But he said that happened quickly (like getting used to glasses) for him. Looks to me like you're already there! Be well and thanks again, guys! Cheers.

WOW you are so brave .. at 79 years my teefies are not in the best of health . you are looking a tad strained and hopefully on the mend after your epic decision to get rid of the old and in with the new .Now that would make a super video Curtis,s new teef . rebuilding the crane is my favorite viewing and following your mouth surgery on video would be epic . Maybe there are some video,s around which oversee the procedure you have endured .I wish you a speedy and successful recovery .

Ahh.... Another enthralling episode. Like a shot in the arm. At least you can speak. Good recovery for you mate.

Hi Kurtis, I can’t imagine what you had to endure to get this new smile, I hope it is all over and it takes some getting used to. I’m glad go got room to work on the Frenna crane and love following you on this journey on getting it in pristine condition, best of luck from the Netherlands

This is seriously one of the best and biggest channels. Have a great grin 😁

[@EdwinSteiner]

Very brave of you to get such surgery done! I wish you a quick recovery!

Ahhh, My favorite time of the week. It's Kurtis and Karen time and not to forget the loveable Homeless doggy too. Hi folks ! Oh my, I had teeth that pained and blood me as long as I can remember. I had dentures but they never fit well so now I just don't care and eat without them. The only things I can't eat are fresh vegies, nuts from the shell and corn on the cob. Having them out was the best thing I have ever had. Onward to the winch and more happy times with you folks. Well Kurtis I love the way and choices you make for shop toys and all the different equipment you choose for the shop and yourself. All, top notch. $ don't seem to be a barier. The better the pieces an extra $ is a natural part of quality. On assembly it is sooooo important to be damned carefull with how much much hammers need to be used. Damage caused here will come back to get us in a moment and all the way down the isle. I see the result of big hammers used when they should not be used at all. Many times lead to a failure down the line. WooHoo, It's really hard to budget some things. From what I saw there was work done off the shop. Hydraulics are sooooo expensive. Just one bad swash plate can senda job flying over a budget in no time. You know exactly what you have here. See you soon folks. Take care eh.

If the rest of the crane rebuild gos as well as the winch then this will be the nicest crane in all of Aussieland for sure. Love the bird and Homeless still makes me laugh a lot. He's the best dog.

If the dentist has watched your videos I guess he feared being 0.1 mm out of spec in the teeth assembly, and did his most accurate work ever. Congrats 😊🎉

[@eggnogfrog]

Always a pleasure to watch. I love this series. Can't wait for Part 95 Rebuilding The Cab.

[@simonwhitlock9189]

Had the same dental procedure myself,took about a week to get back to normal and all good now, wishing you a safe and speedy recovery.

[@1one3_Racing]

My dentist wants me to spend about $4000 saving my teeth. I'm just waiting for them to get past the point of saving!

[@aaawac2174]

Hope for a speedy recovery and no adverse effects to your business. Thank you for the video, even though I know you may be in pain, and this isn't your 1st priority after major jaw surgery.

[@michaelachilles2777]

I am looking forward to the point, this Projekt will be wrapped up, so I can watch the full play list all along. I like that type of work very much!!! Repair and maintain stuff right and it will live forever. I like watching you doing that, thanks for that!!!
