This man is a legend!
💪. haha...thanks! Wes
Great video and as always easy to understand. A few years ago I bought a Spotnail composite nailer for attaching moldings on my furniture, able to sand them then paint with no worries of damaging my tools while finishing the piece. Have used it attaching pieces to the CNC also. Keep these videos rolling.
That's great...thanks for the good comment. Wes
I was wondering why you don't offer plans for your projects. I'd love to build your bookcase.
Hi...we are working on plans and they should be coming soon. Wes
If you think of wire gauge as the number of wires it takes in a bundle to fill a tube, then the higher number = smaller wire concept makes more sense. Same concept for shotgun gauges.
This is great, Wes. I asked a question and you answered it with a video. That is viewer support for SURE!!
Yes I did...glad to be of help. Thanks, Wes
Nice job Wes, great idea for the crown jig. So simple to build and use. 👍👍👍👌
Thanks Wes. This was just what I asked for. The terminology on the crown staplers is a little confusing as they call them narrow, medium and wide. The narrow crown are self explanatory. The medium seem to be in the 7/16" to 1/2" crown width neighborhood and the "wide" are 1" and beyond. I settled on the 1/2" crown gun from Metabo. I think this company used to be Hitachi, but now sport the Metabo name. My framing nailer is Hitachi but I have a coil nailer, finish nailer, narrow crown stapler and now the "medium crown 1/2 inch stapler from Metabo. I really like their guns which are a bit more $ than the P.C. brand but are very high quality. I also have the Porter cable guns I got in a set a few years ago with a pancake compressor and carry bag. They are pretty good. My Porter Cable finish nailer died recently on a project so I pitched it and replaced it with Metabo. My very first gun was an expensive finish nailer from Paslode. It was OK but it didn't last any longer than the less expensive guns. Thanks for the video! These guns can be rebuilt. I tried to rebuild my coil nailer as it was having double taps and other failures. It's not much better after the rebuild. Frankly, I'm with you. If one of these fails, pitch it and get a new one. Also 5-7 drops of air tool oil down the air fitting before each day's use keeps them running.
Thank you for all your good information. Sorry, I was wrong, 7/16's is a medium crown. I appreciate the great comment. Wes
Great little lesson on nailers. Well done, Wes.
I use a 23 gauge pin nailer extensively for the bird and squirrel feeders that I make and sell. I'm gluing everything so the pins are just for keeping things in place until I can get the clamps on. It works out great and leaves little evidence behind. And if one blows out, a pair of needle nose pliers will get it out. Or I just use a Dremel with a cut-off wheel. I love my pin nailer!
Great!! Thanks for the comment, sounds awesome! Wes
Wes, your videos are great. I've watched you use nail gun pin nailer and crown stapler many times. One thing, keep your thumb and fingers away from the immediate firing area. In my experience a brad or nail can instantly deviate around hidden knot or density variations in the workpiece and shoot right out the side. It happens and guess where the brad injects?
Thanks so much for infomation on different nail gun guages, and which each guages arecbest for!!! That is a big, big help
Hi...so glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching, Wes
Right on time this is exactly what I was looking for Wes your the man.
Great...glad it was helpful! Wes
I think that the Blue Staple gun is a BEA 14/50-763 which has been replaced now by the BEA 14/50-785C.
Could be...thanks for the tip, Wes
I find this a very useful video. I have been wondering about the various tools you use, Wes. Thanks.
Glad you found it helpful...thanks for watching, Wes
Awesome video, Wes! Lots of great information. I appreciate you making this for us. Thanks! 👍🏼
My pleasure...glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching, Wes
Hi Wes, love your videos. I can’t believe RUclips didn’t recommend your channel to me sooner since I follow many woodworking channels. Your channel is now my favorite by far! I have a quick question if you don’t mind. I have a 1” wide crown stapler. Could I use it where you use the 7/16” stapler or would it be overkill? Thanks and take care.
HI...no, 1" is too wide for cabinet assembly. Thanks for watching, Wes
@@WoodworkingWithWes thanks Wes, just ordered a 7/16”.
Thanks again for sharing your experience, appreciate the explanations.
You are welcome...thank you for your comment, Wes
You mentioned staples with glue on them. What do I look for/proper name? Ty Wes. Love your videos. Any tips on removing nails if one misses their intended mark?
As far as I am aware, all wide crown staples have this glue coating. Grab on to the exposed end of the nail with a pair of wire cutters or needle nose pryers; bend it back and forth until it breaks. It should break at or below the surface of the wood. Hope this helps, thanks Wes
I use the 16ga staples in cabinet construction also. I call it a medium crown, I have always heard the wide crown term used for 1 1/4 staples. Not saying your wrong... potato patata...I guess
Yes...I was told that the 7/16" wide crown was a medium. I had it wrong, thanks for watching, Wes
Hi Wes. Your recommendation of the Mikita nailer is for medium crown staples (7/16"). Are you recommending medium or wide crown stapler for this?
Sorry....yes, medium crown 7/16". Thanks for watching, Wes
Is 1/4 x 4 x 4 Oak Plywood Handi-Panel used for a outdoor bench ?
Good info, thanks 😊
My pleasure...glad you enjoyed it!! Wes
Great information as always Wes. Do you prefer these over the battery operated nail guns out there? What type/size air compressor do you use with these?
Hi...I do all my nailing in the shop so I prefer air power and you don't need much, a small compressor will work. Thanks for watching, Wes
Nice...
To play MLBB? 😢
Hi Wes. Any suggestions on where to buy the 1 1/4 " 16 gauge heat activated wide crown staples for the Makita gun you recommend?
I can only find 1 inch ones. grrr!
I would recommend checking online for a local industrial supply center, they should be able to help you. Thanks for watching, Wes
Thy West as you, fix any porter it might cost you more rhan a new one. I've learn to put a drop of oil before works. So, far works the gun works much softer.
Hi...thanks for the suggestion, I certainly will do that! Wes
Great information. Have you considered battery powered nail guns?
Hi...I haven't found the need for a battery powered one yet. Thanks, Wes
Wes you forgot to mention the length of the fasteners for each tool.
Yes...you are right. Sorry I didn't catch that! Wes
