I take just the tip off at first. In a few weeks I take just a hair more off. You will occasionally hit a quick. Have some paper towels and steptic powder if you're worried. Trim just the "thin hooked" park of the claw.

He is a little you know what some times.
I think I will need some help just to make it easier for him and safer for me.
he nipped at me once.
thanks

It might be easier to do it at night, after lights out, when he's a little cooler and kinda sleepy. 
This trick works pretty well for us most of the time. All of the other advice was good stuff.

I dont know if this helps, but when i do pet fairs and educational shows, i like to trim their claws while they are hanging on their wire cages. They dont seem to notice as much!
