Dude, do more tip videos. Really liked how you explained the nail anatomy instead of just saying "shoot this way." Also, brilliant point on using opposing geometry to get better holds, and love your overhead storage. I've stored mine overheard for a while in a much less elegant solution that wasn't plugged in. Yours is way better, but yeah.. it's super handy.
Thank you so much my man. It really means a lot coming from you buddy! I think I will make a few of these in the future in between projects. Thank you for the insight
Thanks for making this. I am just now starting out with woodworking ....after 40 years of observation and appreciation for the craft.
Man, that tip about angling them in opposite "v" patterns was one I had not seen before, brilliant!! I had always thought they dart to the side based on the way the tips are beveled, but your anatomy lesson about the flex of both directions makes a lot of sense. Glasses and a drop of oil are how I start all air nailer projects. Thanks for putting this together and glad you didn't get seriously injured!
Thank you brother. I appreciate the kind words about the anatomy lesson. That sounds a little funny. Good to hear from you brother I appreciate everything you do for This channel and how involved you are
Dude, Thank you for the Tips. I will be using my nailer I purchased 2yrs ago for the 1st time to install my new sub-floor. It's safe to say I'd be lost had I not watched your video, so Thank you. Also, Great info that I can use on other projects I hadn't thought about doing...
Some brilliant tips much apricated video, just bought a nail gun and this is a very valued tips, and the added warning of how easy an incident can occur.
That message really hits home, i most certainly wear protective glasses whenever I use my nail gun, I probably wouldn't have had I not seen your video.
So thanks for a very enlightening lesson on nail gun use. (UK)
I am a homeowner with a day job who does not do anything construction related for a living. That being said I am working on framing out my basement and Bought this ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt gun. I have done a few walls already, have probably shot a couple hundred nails through this thing and have yet to have a misfire. It works awesome, good depth on every nail if you have your compressor set right. My literal only complaint is that it is a bit heavy and my arm can get a little tired especially whrn I am nailing at odd angles. That being said I am super happy with it and would buy it again. Hoping the old girl allows me to get my whole basement finished out!
i just get my box of three gun and Bostitch compressor,,,,thans to you ,god bless you man.just start wood work two years ago. at 65,stupid me,,, just my hobby man thanks again...from Canada.
I bought a Porter Cable tank and nailers set. I do not know how to use it so I am watching lots of videos to learn I want to create an accent wall of wood planks. Your video is super helpful. Thank you for sharing your excellent tips!!
Wow! Thank you for sharing! Always have time for safety. Accidents are preventable and can happen so quickly. Keep up the good work. Stay safe.
Man thank you so much! I saw this video not to long ago. And I just made 12 crates and I didn't have a single blow out! You my sir saved me a bunch of frustration
Thank you for letting me know that’s really cool
I have been using a nail gun for years, to say this video was one of the best informitive practical vidios I have ever seen would be an understatement... Your channel has now become my favourite must see channel, always, very informative, instructions easy to follow. You have a natural talent for this too. Keep up the good work. Ps I will send you my address so the money doesn't go astray.
Thank you voice. It really does mean a lot to me. Thanks for being here for the ride. Such kind words I really appreciate it
Hey Chris: I have watched a lot of videos and yours is about the best, I mean it one of the best. You have a great sense of humor which as to your sincerity great video.
I learned a lot, especially from the wooden model you made; the whole video was informative. You were so lucky that nail didn't do any permanent damage! Thanks for sharing, you are a very good teacher.
Seeing your angled nailing reminded me I was taught this trick at school sixty years ago - it was called *dovetail nailing*.
In all the years I've been watching YT vlogs I've never seen anybody else adopt this practice, so thanks for reintroducing it.
Thanks . I am happy that you LIVED to tell your story and that you are able to SEE your work with BOTH EYES ! ! Cheers from Canada, Polar Bear country.
I know it was a crazy day when that happens glad I did too thank you so much
Thank you so much, I've learned so much from you about properly using a nail gun and proper safety precautions. People like you that really know what you are talking about really makes us all better people. Knowledge is so powerful. Excellent tips and tricks. Man, I am so please that your serious injury wasn't as bad as it could have been and thank you for sharing. Be safe.
Wow very well invested 12 minutes of my life. Thank you bro.
Good video, thanks learned a great deal. I like the angle shooting of the nails, that will help. Stay safe and thanks for mentioning eye protection so much. You can't mention it often enough.
I bet that brad nail accident is 1 in a billion. Thanks for sharing. I have unwittingly cut many nails in the past. I hope now i will be more aware of the potential dangers going forward.
Try walking around your house for 10 minutes with your eyes closed. It suddenly becomes super important to protect your eyes. Great advice bro!
Your so right and after using one for many years I still catch myself doing it wrong. Great video
Thank you Jordan. I know sometimes I catch myself too
I had thought about the tool, not about the nails.
Thanks!
I have been searching for a video that will help me as a newbie. You NAILED IT - ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT - THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH
Awesome glad to help. Thank you so much!!
Years ago had a project. Had to snip my smallest nails to less than half a inch Wife wondering what took so long. .. Thank you bradnailer
Great video. Very easy to understand. You didn't have to act like a goof ball like some videos people make so viewers will keep watching. I shut those down before I get to far into them and waste my time. I enjoyed the video and I learned something. and no cussing in the video . Thank you...
Thanks very much. Safety is worth learning anywhere you can find it.
I completely agree sir thank you so much
Thank you so much!! I love woodworking but needed to know more about the nail gun!! This is perfect!!! Glad you were ok...stay safe!!
Just come across your video I'm a newbie so everything is new to me.but I do like what are showing. Thanks for the info greatly appreciated.
Yikes! Glad you didn’t get injured worse. Thank you for sharing your experience and let’s all stay safe ✌🏽
Thank you Martin I appreciate it
Good video I like the last tip about safety glasses and angle the nails. Thanks
Those are all great tips and especially how to drive the brad nail into the wood. Your accident was more of a saw table accident and they tell us that saw table accidents are to be avoided at all costs and can be very dangerous and possibly deadly. I am glad things worked out for you and that you are safe.
I nearly didn't bother with the anatomy of the nail part.. glad I didn't skip it now.. it is more important than I thought. Thanks for that!
just got my nailer thank you for a really great heads up awareness review. I'm nailed to your chanel.
Thank you so much broTher
Thank you sooo much for all the tips. Im soooo glad your ok. I enjoyed watching your video. God bless you.
I am new to woodworking and brad nailing. This video is brilliant thank you
Great tips. My Dad gave me his old brad nailer, but I haven't used it yet. Your video was very helpful in getting me prepared to try out a new tool.
I know I’m late but thanks for the tips. I’m using a nail gun for the first time and your tips helped me a lot. Thanks
Hey no worries better late than never. You’re very welcome thanks for the comment
Great advice. I have used a framing nailer, but was never owned one. I bought my first brad nailer and this video is a great way to get started.
Thanks for the angled brad tip. It sounds obvious, but I did not know. I learned something today.
Glad I could be of service. Thank you so much
excellent detailed education. thank you
You just explained all my errors, how to avoid them, and why they were happening. Thanks!
Planning to buy a nail gun, this is a an excellent tip. Also, we all learn from our own mistake, but from someone's mistake is a bonus. Cheers.
Hey Chris. First time viewer for your channel and now a new subscriber. Wanted to quickly share a saw related near miss injury. Coworker was using a POS company owned miter saw which was missing parts including any safety features. Not quite sure what he was cutting however he managed hit something metal and one of the carbide saw teeth broke off and hit the brim of my brand-new ballcap I was wearing. It hit with such force it almost knocked my hat off as it lodged into the brim. I am one of those who always wears safety glasses on the job site. BTW, after that near miss, I cut the power cord off the saw and pitched the saw in the dumpster.
Wow sounds like you dodged the proverbial bullet. That is crazy glad you’re OK. Do you keep the hat as a Momento? Thanks for sharing your story
Thanks for an EXCELLENT Video... You pointed out several things i was not aware of... Also your tips were outstanding, very relevant and informative.... Greatly appreciate your efforts to make us better (and safer) 'Brad nailers'!
Thank you so much for all the kind words. It means a lot to me. It’s my pleasure! 👍👍
Great tip on the brad nail gun orientation! I had several blowouts of brad nails flexing in the wood and coming out the side of a piece, until I figured that one out! Always orient the gun perpendicular to the piece of wood that could suffer a blowout. The nails are connected in the strip side-by-side on their narrow side (if they were stacked flat, connected on their wide side, that would be more plastic-connected surface area for the gun to have to break when it hammers the nail in). So the nails stacked side-by-side in the magazine like that, causes the nail to flex out the left or right side of the gun, not toward the top or bottom of the gun, and thus orienting the gun perpendicular to the wood means any nail flex would still leave the nail fully embedded in the wood. SO key to understand that, as a brad nail blowout is very difficult to pull out. You can't grab it and pull it through, since the head resists going through the smaller hole the nail body created. And the nail itself is too flimsy to grab with pliers and push out backwards, at least very easily, plus the plastic coating that held the strip of nails together heats up from friction during the driving, and cools like a glue. VERY key tip there, and thanks for getting the word out!
That’s probably the best way you could articulate that in words. I appreciate the very thoughtful comment and I hope all is well with you
Great tips for nail gun use. Thanks for sharing the story of your injury; you indeed, were very lucky.
Yes sir very lucky. Thank you so much
Super informative. I’ve been building stuff as a DYI-er for decades but never knew half this!!
Thanks
Thank you Duncan I never knew some of the stuff either until I made this video LOL just kidding glad you found it informative brother
Awesome video Chris!
Wished I had found you & this video about 1 month ago since I dealt with that exact problem with the nails shooting out the side of my cedar chests I was making for my daughters!! Nails shooting pout the side like that is a huge headache, especially when they occur in very tight areas! Great tips !! Btw, your garage set up is spot on, with everything in its place! I'm just now trying to get mine going as well and I love the way you have it all arranged!
Thank God, you didn't end up with serious reprocussions from that nail shot to your throat! Wow! 🙏 You just made me a believer in wearing my safety glasses now for sure bro. Chris! Thanks!
New sub. brother & Thanks again!
Perfect one for a newbie in this topic! U solve few of my start up problems, so thanks for that! :)
Learned so much. I constantly have nail blowout so hopefully I can change my technique & remedy this. Thank you!!!!
Glad you got something out of it. Hope you have a wonderful day and happy nailing
Am learning, am learning, slowly but am learning! Thank you for the time and effort great tips and attitude!

I really like your overheard solution for nail gun and house.
Thank you so much I appreciate that
Great video. Thanks
Awesome tips!
Thank for the info
Good information thanks
My construction professor always has a lesson about safety. Treat it like a gun, because it is one. He also taught us that once you disconnect the line to try to fire it into a piece of scrap just to make sure that it would not fire (if there was leftover air in the gun).
Great tips
Good stuff!
This was perfect, I just had blow out with my first practice projectwith new Brad nailer and didn't know why.
You nailed it.
Good stuff. Thanks for the injury info.
You got it Jim you’re welcome thank you
