I like the fact that the butt hole is basically an exhaust port. :D
I see a piston and a flywheel in an interesting place. That could be bad if the RPMs get out of control and some valves don't activate at the right times.

I use a dremel tool with the sander attachment.

Damn! Why the hell didn't I figure that out? I have a Dremel, but I haven't used it for anything in years.

Fucking nails, you've met your match! BTW, my toe nails are healthy, and my fingernails are also thick. Wife complains about the projectiles when I cut them. Not my fault. I must of been a claw-based animal in a past life.

Not sure if you were serious or not, but the idea has already been patented and produced. Introducing the amazing Roto clipper.

If this thread were just a little bit older I'd say sue them for stealing you idea, but I guess other hate having chunks of finger and toenail flying around as much as I do.

I used to have severely ingrown toenails. Doctors refused to fix the issue so I always had nasty oozing infections. Finally got tired of it in my teens and decided to fix it myself. Applied a tourniquet, heated up my freshly sharped pocket knife, and cut away the offending flesh. It sucked, took a long time as I had to work through the pain, and I lost a lot of blood...but aint had a single issue since.


You should have went to a podiatrist! That's what I did.

DO NOT CLICK THESE LINKS, GRAPHIC MEDICAL IMAGES
SERIOUSLY, DO NOT CLICK UNLESS YOU HAVE A VERY STRONG STOMACH.


Crazy stuff. I have my big toe nails that are all screwed up and I would like the doctor to just kill of the nail bed. They have a spray.

You know, there are a shit load of nerves in your fingers and toes. That's gonna hurt like hell after wards.

i was born with skin covering most of the toenail sealing them in. I could dig under the flesh with one of those fine scissors to cut away at the toenail, but that never solved the issue. It was obvious even to a child like myself that i needed to have a large portion of the skin removed so the toenail could grow out properly. My parents took me to see the doctors about it several times and they just kept saying to "let it grow out". 16-18 years later i finally had enough of the constant pain/infection/mess and decided to do some surgery myself.

I actually just did a lot of searching trying to find a good graphical representation of what i'm talking about, as it wasn't an ordinary ingrown toenail.
I ended up coming upon a photo and surgical video that shows very similarly what i had to do. It's extremely graphic and nsfw. I'm going to link it.
Do not click these links, graphic medical images
seriously, do not click unless you have a very strong stomach.

Don't force me to post a pic of my toe nails again.

The clippings could take out a Division of Syrian Jihadists at 5 Klicks :p

I actually read somewhere that grinding nails on dogs is supposedly better than cutting because it minimizes the chances of nailing the living part with nerves.

But that dust can't be good for anyone. Could it under water but zap...

If your dog's nails are too long, it probably needs more outside activity. Take it for a walk. It'll do you good ;^)

Hey, I may not have have any muscle or fat left on my ass from sitting all day, but I did not have sexual relations with that washing machine.
