Dir Sir, we are deeply impressed by your wandering rant regarding your cat. (RIP) we were so impressed we would like to invite you for an interview and cover photo for Curmudgeon Magazine.
Dwain: When I built my Corben Jr. Ace, I used little brass brads like those too. Had to hold them with tweezers or needle nose pliers. That got REAL old. The last set of ribs I made, I found a great little Senco stapler that shoots 1/4" staples. I can tack all the gussets on an entire rib in the time it used to take me to drive those dinky little brads before. I know....it's not as "old timey" and authentic but boy, does it work slick !
Dwain, I’m giving you a thumb’s up for two reasons; your story about Baby, which is similar to my story about “Muscles” (a rescue cat), and your political views of Harry Reid & Killary Clinton.
Hi talruda, I have never had issues with the nails hitting each other. Those aircraft nails are so small that if they did come in contact it would simply veer off slightly. It just never has been an issue for me and I have built more ribs than you can shake a stick at and I am sure that the chances of nail to nail contact probably occurs every now and then. Great question though. Thanks for watching my friend.
Dwain Marcus thanks for the reply. I didn't know if there was a chance of splitting the cap strips.. I fly a Baby Lakes that I want to recover, I'm watching every building video out there and getting the itch to build something one day!
