My Wife was right.......

Oh My God, I sleep a little late one morning, and then I find this on my favorite forum.:eek:

The end must be very near.
 
Anytime,just let me know...some 80 grit & some exterior paint prep,all your troubles are over.. Definitely a different way of filing them

I think had it been described this way, I would have not even blinked:

"I told my wife about breaking my nails and she asked, "Won't any of your power tools, mend them?" which gave me an idea. So, I pulled out my Makita finishing sander, put a some 600 grit ultra fine 3M paper on it and ran it at 14,000 OPM on the edge of my thumbnail for a couple of seconds. Problem solved!"

You "gentlemen" need to go 'all the way'.
Cut your nails, but not too short. Smooth the edges with emory board or nail file. Then apply a coat of "Hard as Nails". Comes in a little bottle with a brush attached to inside of the cap, like a clear nail polish.
Then your nails will be as hard as nails.

Hmmm. . . .all I can say is, my wife is always right, and I am always happy!:p
And at my age, if I don't file that d*mn thumbnail, it splits for sure!:grumpy:

I used to until I my front teeth started crumbling and chipping and I spent a few hundred dollars getting them fixed. I don't bite off monofilament fishing line with my teeth anymore either. I use a nipper now. :rolleyes:

Alright, now that I am back from my; callous buffing, chemical peel and pore cleansing, I want to make sure this thread stays in a manly man discussion.:foot: Does anyone know a good esthetician?:o
My complexion is not what it used to be.

I'm proud to say that I have absolutely no idea what any of this means.:confused:

I have greased my truck, rewired some lights on it, changed a radiator hose and repaired the turbo inlet. Now I need to clean my tools and sharpen my knives.
My CV Trapper is a great wire stripper btw.
I'm sitting here chewing my fingernails worrying what you might be doing there in The Valley.:eek:

No, there is at least one more of us.
 
I just finished wiring up a grill top and oven for our new (expensive :eek:)

granite countertops :thumbup:

Used my GEC Burnt Orange Congress (from Mike at collectorknives.net)

to strip some wires.

AND

My nails still look GOOD ;)

I used to bite my nails. Somehow I quit doing it. I use a pair of side cutters now.
 
Being a knifemaker and in constant contact with lots of power tools and belt grinders, never seems to be a problem.
