Jim Norman Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I may be forever scarred by those photos. Not as bad as Jake's, but they did ruin my childhood memories of 'the man of steel' as played by George Reeves, the "real" Superman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gino_aki Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 My grandpa was a diesle mechanic and I watched him drive a hot metal scribe through his nails more then once. He smashed countless fingers pulling axles on the Jersey turnpike in the middle of the night. He was one tough old guy and I don't even think he owned underoos... I was a diesel mechanic for a long time and well the next time any of you guys do this...use the drill method, BUT USE A PIN VISE AND DO IT BY HAND! That way there's no "breakthrough" into all that smashed flesh under the nail to add insult to injury. Just keep twirling that bit in a clockwise manner (make sure its sharp) with just the weight of the pin vise (the skinny collet type) bearing on it. You'll know when you've broken through by all the red cutting lube that comes out of the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JThompson Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 As long as Susan has some Wonder Woman roos to match I won't think that is weird. If not, I am never sleeping in the cabin....NEVER!!! AL Makes me glad I spent the 80 bucks a night for the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll know when you've broken through by all the red cutting lube that comes out of the hole. I'm with you. I had to do it to a finger once and there was no motor involved with the drill bit. Just a tiny bit and some twisting. I could see me chucking that sucker up in my 1/2" dewalt and stopping when I hit the floor on the other side of my toe.
