I may be getting a small 26 to 30 gal compressor and was wondering what
would be a good general shop nailer? I see all kinds and don't have a
clue. Just got the termite tool and hopefully the end grain projects
will look better. I tried a goblet for my wife out of Norfolk pine.
looks ok on the outside, but don't look at the very bottom. I am ok if
she keeps it full of candy. People will pick it up and look at it but
will not dump the candy to see the bottom. Of course if a turner comes
over ........

Thanks everyone for the info. I will start looking at the 18 gage brad
nailer. Darrel, I just watched your mushroom video and I like it.
looks like you have a voice after all. I have been watching the other
ones you made. Now you just have to put a head on top of the body to go
along with the voice. Also watched your use of the Oland tool maybe now
I can get it to work. I am wondering if the bevel on mine is to long.
Thanks again everyone

I have an 18 guage brad nailer that handles up to 2" brads. 60 lbs works
great for it. It is just the thing for jigs and such around the shop and
worth its weight in gold when it comes to putting up trim around the
house.
Ditto! Especially when working without the benefit of a "hold this"
helper, those pins are the greatest. The one hand that you would be
fumbling with a clamp with pits the nail in without moving the piece
you're aligning with the other. I used to make jigs with hot glue, now
I use the nailer. Just made a cutoff jig for slats, and a comb jig to
align them for assembly before calling it quits in the shop today.
Haven't turned in three days, and my hands are getting shaky.
