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.

Kurtis, I work in the dental field as a service tech by day and a local machinist, fabricator and cast aluminum welder by evening. I service the intra oral scanners, CBCT machines and mills that make those "pearly whites". I have seen plenty of dental work in my 23 years doing this job and I am so happy you have the opportunity to have this extensive procedure. 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!!

[@trumanhw]

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?

[@Sturdy_Penguin]

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."

As an American trained dentist, congratulations on getting your work done. I instruct my patients thoroughly in the initial stages of planning that they are buying the equivalent of a very expensive car. Expensive cars require routine maintenance. Many people have the thought that just because it’s titanium and fixed into your bone that it’s bulletproof. Please do not believe those shenanigans. I have personally removed implants from patients from every walk of life. I highly recommend using a Waterpic on a 3-4 pressure range only spraying perpendicular to the direct of the emergence from the gums along with routine checkups with radiographs annually. All on 4 sounds like the best thing to a patient with significant history of issues but oftentimes many people don’t talk about the “none on 3” aspect. Overall just be on top of taking care of your mouth and you’ll. Be in the chips for many years to come.

[@johnoconnor4941]

I have to say that I'm loving the edit on this episode. The transition shots when Kurtis was welding were just sweeeeet! Also, I like the shots with the occasional extra hand. See, Karen works the tech and even does the labouring..

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.

I just love Karen's giggles, laughs, gasps, and little comments. The more I hear her voice the better I enjoy the video. Great work Kurtis. You hold a high standard of quality. I have watched EVERY video. Love, love, love you all. This channel ticks ALL the boxes for watch-ability. My absolute favorite. 👍

[@mattc3368]

They definitely dont make Karens like that here in the US. Need more Aussie Karens here!

Grabbing the little bit of tape sent me 😂 38:50

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

[@FrankieBoy-wn6qt]

Hi Kurt another great video m8t look forward to getting my message popping up every Friday lol I just got back from Antalya after having my teeth removed I now have 10 implants in swelling has gone down now so I know what you’ve been through m8t I have temps in now but going back in September for my crowns they say it takes a few weeks to get used to your new teeth wish you a speedy pain free recovery pal take care 🦷🦷🦷👍👍👍

[@paulmisseg9398]

Great video. I’m sitting here watching the video in 🇨🇦 with swelling from my own dental surgery, I (literally) feel your pain.

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

all the best with your recovery mate!

[@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.

Two favorite activities of all the fans manufacturing parts, and rebuild of the crane! 😊

[@silvernatedogg]

Wow, prayers for your health as well as your family!

[@justthetruth870]

Love the new teeff. I hope you get used to them quickly. Nice job on the rebuild and damn I love the Butcherbird interludes.

[@mapo5976]

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

[@richardwallinger1683]

magic moment watching the winch assembly coming together . the gears run in an oil bath ..truly mouthwatering design .self etch primer ? . I guess that is why cranes are not cheap. A replacement winch / hydraulic set up would cost more than the semi scrap crane cost you .

[@davidking3699]

Nice work on the winch... If you ever thought Kurtis had bitten off more than he could chew with this crane restoration, then he just levelled up and can chew it all up... missed out on the chance for some 'Bond Villain' teeth made from Stainless... good work guys... The tailstock cam is great for the boring stage, and that swarf is all sorts of wonder - the different ways it rolls off the tool...

[@hgbugalou]

I really am liking this project. You make it look easy. Congrats on the new teeth, it does so much for your confidence and well being. Glad you decided to take car of it. Us men are bad about not worrying about ourselves when we have a family and business, but you have to do it sometimes.

[@Repair-rookie]

All the best with your recovery and hope it doesn't hold you up to much. Hope you feel yourself soon.

[@matthiastilly5480]

Franna Friday! YAY!!!!! Day saved!

[@Grayson203]

Best part about not being able to sleep is being awake for the youtube notifications "Cutting Edge Engineering uploaded a new video". Hope the new pearly whites treat you right, glad to hear things went alright! Keep up the good work over there guys 🤙

[@laughkick]

Love the steady rest you used for the 20mm bar! Very shop made

[@t0mn8r35]

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.

[@shaunc5227]

Congratulations on the new holy wood smile, and thanks for another great video.
