HMS Alert [1777] 1:48 POF by serikoff. (Two hulls: skeleton and fully rigged)
And I can also officially and legally hurt people.Okey. So that explains your precision with the drilling... but to practice on patients? yuck...
Yes, trust me. Not everyone is as precise or talented at drilling, even if they work at it.
I have a dentist on street, ppl call him "jaw butcher." Not only is he the cheapest in town, working 24/7, but he's also a self-taught doctor with no professional background. The sign on the door says "dental practice."
Screams of people and children from X meters away office are priceless. But he's cheap, fast, and does a good job at 2 a.m.... maybe...
After something like that, drill a hole straight into the wood. Trauma for all life.
I can say that since the war began, Ukrainians who left Ukraine have been saying that healthcare in Ukraine is much better, especially dentistry. I suspected this, but now I'm sure of it. Many foreigners have come to me, and many who moved abroad have returned for dental treatment... but for now, it's all on hold, and it's unclear for how long. As for what you wrote, yes, it happens, and I'm sad that there are doctors who treat patients poorly... it's scary.

To understand the procedure, you can recall this information, where I showed a 3D visualization with step-by-step instructions.
Well, now step by step, how I made Skylight.
I accidentally spilled glue on the plastic and it turned white. So I carefully peeled it off and made sure the glue no longer touched it. I made internal stops to hold the plastic in place.
Well, here's the result. But let me clarify one thing! The frame isn't ready yet; this is only the inside. The main part of the frame will still be on the outside.

Everything is ready for gluing. I glued it with TiteBond II... Then I glued on the temporary waterway, or rather, the second part of it. I applied it to the CA gel in dots so that I could remove it later. After that, I sanded the surface first with 120-grit sandpaper, then with 150-grit...
