Of course and they're filled with cutting comments that'll leave you in stitches. Sure I love a straight line but that one's just too easy Joe, how about a LITTLE challenge on the next one eh?

My brother in-law is an orthopaedic surgeon and he used to take me along when he was the resident in the local hospital because I am familiar with tools and he is not. Was kind of fun and the surgical side of things was something anyone good with his hands can learn in a short period of time if you have a steady stomach.

ThomasPowers Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I've met a guy who was an orthopedic blacksmith at a Hospital in Columbus OH during WWII; had a number or interesting stories about forging custom critical use braces and things. I think the skill levels depend a lot on what area you are working on, Hand surgeons for instance...(and my father has almost more titanium in his legs than I have in my shop; one of those air travel with XRays deals) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I melted down casings from the last time my dad and I shot guns together to make the guard. He lives 15 hours away so I don't see him much anymore. Put a lot of thought and time into making him something nice yet functional. Really gonna be upset if he never even uses it as a knife lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fantastic. 14 minutes ago, duckrunner said: Put a lot of thought and time into making him something nice yet functional.

Are you the product of a dysfunctional relationship with your Dad or is he a regular guy? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha oh no we've got a great relationship, but for some stupid reason I moved back to where I grew up when I should be out there with him... I don't know if "regular" is the word I'd use to describe him, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
