#Spaceshiptember Day 19: Armored
While Virtack pirates are better known for their robotics-equipped ships, conventional vessels are not absent from their raiding parties. One such ship is the Trephine, a brutal, well-armored boarding craft designed to brunt heavy fire during a charge towards prey.

Had a bone marrow trephine today. Not had one for a good few years. I'll be honest, I've had better days 😞

Collaboration with a longtime friend and former coworker; this is a reproduction of a late 18th, early 19th century trephine. Terry took care of the metal bits and final assembly and I turned the handle. First time I’ve worked with ebony. Weird stuff- had to work it more like metal than wood.

I hope so, too! Polycarbonate face shield should be arriving today; this was serious enough to override the “never buy from Amazon that which can be acquired from people” conditioning. But I DID finish the project I needed to before I did a dumb.

I used to have so much fun with my Fisher-Price My First Trephine too. #Mudborn #FrightClub

Surely there's a trephine and a Gigli wire in that set somewhere...

Come on lads... this is social media. What is a trephine set for? It looks great and very interesting, but knowing what kind of mad, gross thing it would be used for would add so much!

I love this. Sometimes names seem right, sometimes they're holding names, sometimes they make some snarky point. My Victorian WIP has a Trephine, a Culpe, a Chief Inspector Bullfinch ("more the animal than the bird") and a Colquohoun. Some people's names are picking mountains etc.
I'm not sure where it came from; but I do have a habit of choosing names from the tech crew of old Dr Who episodes, and this one fitted the character, I thought.

Damn!😂 I’ve always wanted the trephine Claire uses in S3.

The Trust is pleased to introduce our newest neurosurgeon @viktorwinetrout.bsky.social

He is a mighty Trephine Surgeon.

This fine example of an Iron Age fluted stele stands by the west gable of the chapel of Ste-Tréphine in Ste-Tréphine (Côtes-d’Armor). It is 2.5m tall and has a flattened top. This card by Hamonic in St-Brieuc c.1903.

I'm having fun pondering what would make a good name for a trepanation match site. Some candidates: auger (augr?), borer, dibble, trephine.

I also briefly considered "drillme" until I learned that that's an AI interview coaching service.
