    What have had or seen go wrong wih your dawgs

    I have no idea how I did this. I will tell you though the dogs on a 66 when done just right will go right thru your thumb nail. Then either when you jump and pull, or you try to lift the saw most of your nail separates from that nice soft tender meaty stuff under the nail. I have seen a guy...
