- This video is in response to a letter sent in, about a JLC article I wrote back in the april 2010 issue called "Fast Job site joinery"
My technique for using the corrugated fastener has come up to some recent scrutiny. So I wanted to show the readers exactly what using this tool is like and the results it gives.
You be the judge, because what works for some doesnt work for others.
Let me know what you think? I think this is a great way to build wainscoting. We have had great sucess with it. Hope you enjoy!
A 60-second idea expressed in 300 seconds.
great video. it makes sense considering some jointery doesnt carry a load. Like wainscoting. thanks for the vid!!!
What depth of corrugated faster would be used on 1/2" MDF?...1/4" or would 3/8" work?
Thanks
Hi Jesse. I have a field installation project with flush panel MDF 1 x 5 over 3/4" MDF sheets on a commercial interior storefront of a retail store, about 150lf of panel squares 16' AFF. What are your feeling on shooting corrugated fasteners through the finish face and then filling with bondo and sanding flush. Not able to pocket screw or shoot from behind. Options are face nailing, trim screwing and bisquets.
Why can’t you pocket screw?
Hi jesse , i watched your video and bought a corrugated fastener to use on some 18mm mdf frames, i`m having problems with recoil though, it really gives off a loud bang and the tool jumps back sometimes not fully driving the fastener in, is it my tool or something i am not doing right ? the tool is the tacwise fcf 15 as shown demonstrated on another video, his seems up to the job ? im only using 70 psi on the compressor.
any insight you could share would be most greatfully accepted
Use 110 psi
What brand is your nail gun?
I use the bostich one and for mitered casing mostly. There is no better way and no faster way. Miters will NOT open. Pocket screws have their place but for trim the SUCK.
Maybe measure the thickness first.
with irritating music!!
Too bad I can't afford all those fancy tools
As a "woodworker" MDF yuck. Build furniture with it, I don't think so.
I am a woodworker too. MDF is easy to work with, is flatter than wood and takes paint well. You aren't going to make heirloom pieces with it, but to trim out a house (unless it is somewhere than will see moisture) it is superior to wood. But bring your mask.
Belt sand that down lol
Yawn
