Note to self: long brads...

i've always had this rule, if the nail is longer than the thickness of the lumber, look for a shorter nail (or thicker lumber)...

Wow. Clearly, I am in good company.

"Hello, my name is _____ and I'm a bozo with an air gun."



Oh, and no, I have not (yet) nailed my finger. I read enough horror stories that I keep the off hand a fair distance away from the gun.

An old friend had a saying, "Them Lessons you Larn, ain't worth a flip if you Fergit 'em".

Now I'm not admittin' to nothing, but my Old Signature line was, "Some Mistakes provide absolutely Too Many Learning Opportunities to make ONLY ONCE".

Nail holes?
Brad Blowouts?

I don't see anything, do you?




Wayne, you're bang on. I've read the same thing before. The mark of a true craftsman is not perfection, but the ability to either make it looks like it belongs there, or work around the mistakes such that no one notices.

I think I'd adjust that to add .... And another mark of a true craftsman is to NOT immediately point out all the flaws (that only you really see) to everyone who looks at your work!!!

Too true Art

I'm always the first to point out the screw ups and it is hard to just keep the mouth closed I just know everyone is looking at that little screw up and then after you point it out "gee, I didn't even see that"
