OK admit it. You've sat in the dentist chair and thought:" What a great place to build models"

[Greg Myers]

Just look at all those great tools, the air powered drill the little air blower thingie, can't get much more light than that. How about the little swing out trays?

Now , are you comfy? Gotta admit an adjustable chair like that's gotta improve yer buildin' skills.

[hellonwheelz3]

Wow. I never thought of that but it's a GREAT idea. Nice one!

[High octane]

NEVER!

[Miatatom]

Sorry but that chair doesn't provide me with anything I can enjoy. Clench factor = 10!

[Greg Wann]

YUP!! SURE HAVE. They stick resin and silicone materials in your mouth too to make impressions and temporary crowns. Resin and silicone is a really big world.

[jbwelda]

uh no, can't say that I have, not likely to start anytime soon either.

Not a thought of a model in the dentist chair, worried about the pain. My dentist has bad breath always go figure

[charlie8575]

The laughing gas and knock-out stuff makes you see/think all sorts of weird things....

I have tried to buy the picks/scribers from my dentist, though. No luck.

Boy you could make the styrene fly with that ziz wheel.

I'm usually thinking "If this dental hygienist jams that metal pointy probe in my gums one more time I'm gonna kill her…" Models are no where near my mind….. But you have a valid point in that they have some cool tools.

[Helix]

Absolutely Greg, on my visits I ask for their spare tools!

[johnbuzzed]

Never not ever not once in my life at all... but the tools are cool.

[rmvw guy]

Now you have me looking forward to my next visit. No, not really.

[GLMFAA1]

Not the chair, but I got springs, wires and elastics from my ortho, Now there is a place to cast in the lab

My former dentist (now retired) used to save picks and drill bits for me, His replacement is not nearly as into models as the old one.

There was actually a 1950s dentist chair in the classifieds I saw here a while ago... Didn't like the thought of being stabbed in the gums, however.

[JunkPile]

And a proper place to spit too!

[LDO]

I did think of using dentist's chair as an astronomical binocular or telescope mount. Imagine having it fixed in place on a chair that reclines and automatically follows what you're observing. (That feature would have to be built, but it is entirely possible)

[Fabrux]

My wife is a dental assistant; I get fun tools from her office.

[Greg Myers]

You know you;re growing up when you worry more about how much it will cost than how much it will hurt.

A *pretty* dental hygienist can have you thinking about all sorts of things.....not necessarily building models. ;-)

It's true.

Better yet, is a dental lab.

I never thought of this, only problem for me is that on days like today, I might fall asleep with an X-Acto knife in my hand and a model in my lap

[goldfinger]

I am always looking around to see what could be adapted to my workbench...so far I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to get any of their tools.....but I haven't given up !
