[BlindHandyMan] palm nailer and copper tacks
Well, I finally got the copper carpet tacks for the door mat. I took one and started it in a scrap block of wood then attacked it with the palm nailer. It drove it in nice and straight but really mangled the head of the tack. So Karen used a regular hammer and pounded in a few to keep the door mat in place.. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.lennymchugh.com Lenny Send any questions regarding list management to: blindhandyman-ow...@yahoogroups.com To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=33&MMN_position=47:29 Or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: blindhandyman-h...@yahoogroups.comyahoo!

Re: [BlindHandyMan] palm nailer and copper tacks
I didn't see or at least I don't remember an answer. I doubt though that you would have much luck with copper tacks and a palm nailer mostly because they are so soft. They are challenging to drive with a hammer. You might consider what I knew of when I was in England as a toffee hammer, it is a small hammer with a round head at one end and a sort of dull chipping chisel at the other end. I understand it was so named because confectioners used it to break off chunks of toffee for sale. The small head makes hitting the small tacks easier and the reduced mass helps keep from crushing the soft copper nails. I only ever used them years ago when helping one of my staff repair a cedar strip canoe. Although the nails were soft so was the cedar. - Original Message - From: "Agent086b" To: Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2009 10:39 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] palm nailer and copper tacks > Hi all, > sorry if I mist it.

Hi all, sorry if I mist it. Was there an answer to this one? A further similar question. How do you all tell if your hand is straight when driving a nail with the palm nailer? I find I bend a nail quite easy. Thanks for any help. Max. Lenny McHugh wrote: > We have a fairly heavy door mat that keeps being moved out of place.

[BlindHandyMan] palm nailer and copper tacks
We have a fairly heavy door mat that keeps being moved out of place. Since outside I plan to use a few copper tacks to secure the mat. Since physically I can no longer swing a hammer I thought about the palm nailer. Is there any suggestions to keep the tack straight until the pounding starts? I thought about using a cotton ball to hold the tack in the nailer. I could also use 1/4 inch crown staples with the pneumatic stapler. The problem here is that they would rust. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.lennymchugh.com Lenny Send any questions regarding list management to: blindhandyman-ow...@yahoogroups.com To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=33&MMN_position=47:29 Or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: blindhandyman-h...@yahoogroups.comyahoo!
