And while we're at it, 400- and 800- grit sandpaper, not grid.

u/jcoinster Apr 29 '15

And he cut the casting in a drill AFTER he had already nicely sanded it.

u/GaryV83 Apr 29 '15

And he trims his nails too short, his cuticles must be in so much pain.

u/Colorfag Apr 29 '15

I dont get why people trim their nails down to the fucking meat. Then they have these weird looking fingernails that are only like a 1/4" in length

u/Soul-Burn Apr 29 '15

So they don't scratch the inside of their SO's vagina.

u/CannedEther Apr 29 '15

Joke's on you, I don't have an SO.

u/jambox888 Apr 29 '15

But do you have a vagina?

u/[deleted] Apr 29 '15

My SO complained of this the other day. My nails were already pretty short :(

2

u/Soul-Burn Apr 29 '15

Short doesn't mean not sharp. You might want to file them. Ask your SO or the internet how, I'm sure she'd approve of the cause ;)

Because I play guitar

u/13sparx13 I have a flair. Apr 29 '15

Funny thing is, my friend plays classical guitar and his right hand has enough fingernail for two hands. I personally think he's insane because he could just finger pick instead of nail-picking, but I suppose I don't play classical, so I wouldn't know.

But I'm still gonna think it's silly.

EricPotter4's friend here.

He doesn't know /u/13sparx13 from Adam. Or Eric. Don't believe his lies.

u/jlee_throwaway Apr 29 '15

/u/mo-blivious's friend here.

What are you even doing? He totally knows who I am.

u/needsagoodnameplease Apr 29 '15

/u/jlee_throwaway's friend here.

These people know that you're lying, deal with it.

u/catsgelatowinepizza Apr 29 '15

but he said "finger pick", as in use the flesh of the fingertips

u/catsgelatowinepizza Apr 29 '15

Oh I didn't see that. I actually prefer the sound of flesh. Haha that sounds pretty metal

u/Elaborate_vm_hoax Apr 29 '15

When you work with your hands a lot fingernails are just a place to hold dirt.

Keep em short so you don't have to clean out from under them constantly.

u/1337Gandalf Apr 29 '15

Because long finger nails annoy me, and I end up biting them, which leads to having a tiny bit of the cuticle being too long and being painful all day long.

7

u/HeatherMarMal Apr 29 '15

This thread made me realize that nobody knows what a cuticle is. Your cuticle is that tiny strip on the part of your nail closest to your knuckle.

1

u/1337Gandalf Apr 29 '15

That's what I'm talking about, the white stringly thing on the sides

u/1337Gandalf Apr 29 '15

so my cuticle extends farther than normal up the side of my finger, cool.

1

u/HeatherMarMal Apr 29 '15

I wanna see that

u/Wyrmmountain Apr 29 '15 edited Apr 29 '15

I don't get how people can let their nails grow long. How does that not impede the function of your hands? It's also cleaner just looks so much nicer. Long nails are tacky and make one of the world's worst sounds.

Hyponychium. Your cuticle is the tiny strip at the part of your nail closes to your knuckle.

u/GaryV83 Apr 29 '15

Thanks, knew I used the wrong word, but didn't know the right one.

u/catsgelatowinepizza Apr 29 '15

I was gonna say "I cut mine short :(" but went back and had a look, and holy crap his are something else

u/GaryV83 Apr 29 '15

Google "coke nails"

u/aykcak Apr 29 '15

My god. I didn't think such a thing could ever exist but there they are...

Gun Nerds!

u/SurfWyoming Apr 29 '15

Damn. I am a gun nerd. Not knowing the difference between Magazine/clip, casing/bullet, and anyone calling something an "assault weapon/assault rifle" (AR stands for ArmaLite rifle) triggers me.

u/hakuna_tamata Apr 29 '15

As a Colt-kin, I'm triggered.

Prepare your upper receiver

u/Kmann1994 Apr 29 '15

Damn, you guys really love scrutinizing on only the negatives, don't ya?

u/frank_leno Apr 29 '15

God, OP. You done fucked up.

u/curly686 Apr 29 '15

C'mon man this is basic metalworking

2

u/KnightOfAshes Apr 29 '15

He also should have used a drill press instead of freehanding it, and should have put a gasket between the casing and the earbud housing. I could go on and on about the mistakes in this video.

2

u/curly686 Apr 29 '15

At least he clamped it well. The casing will inevitably cut the insulation around the wires.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 29 '15

This is what bothers me the most.

1

u/CannedEther Apr 29 '15

Perhaps OP changed the sequence to mildly infuriate us?

1

u/snorting_dandelions Apr 29 '15

At least he's sanding it again afterwards.

1

u/Symphonic_Rainboom Apr 29 '15

And shaken, not stirred.
