November 25, 200916 yr Hello all, I thought that everyone would like this. I made this replica teeth pulling device for a Pirate Surgeon Re-enactor. It is called a Dental Pelican and I could see how it would work really well. It was a fun project.
November 25, 200916 yr Just looking at that makes my teeth hurt! Nice job! How much of that is machined and how much is forged? I can see how that would remove teeth rather well too. Phil
November 25, 200916 yr yeah, makes my knees weak looking at it. My guess is the ball is forged as well?
November 25, 200916 yr AAAAAAGGGGHHHHH, Great job on the tool, the visual is... well... as the others have stated painful. John
November 25, 200916 yr Whats more painful... broken rotting teeth or having the yanked out with an eeeevvviilll looking device?... besides what is rum for? (toungue in cheek.. so to speak) I will stay with my oral surgeon and painkillers.. as for the re-enactor for Pirate Surgeon.. who knew there was such a thing?
November 25, 200916 yr Apparently dental pelicans come in different flavors, here are a few more variations that your friend could see if they match his tastes: - Rare Dental Pelican 17th C Adjustable - Medical Antique - Collect Medical Antiques -- Dental Antiques - 17th CENTURY WROUGHT IRON DENTAL PELICAN - DENTAL ANTIQUES: Forceps, Pelicans, and Toothkeys
November 25, 200916 yr Argh me hearty - mighty fine looking work. Look like something that would have been used by early sailors. Trevor
November 25, 200916 yr Author The only thing I machined was the hole in the 3/8" rod. Everything else was forged and filed. This is one of the simpler designs. He couldn't afford the more complicated ones.
