Simplest Pleasures

Yeah, my gun is a frame nailer and works at 120 psi. It will shoot a 8d nail a fair ways and stick into wood.
 
With my eyes and shakes I'm dangerous to myself with a claw hammer.
 
My left thumb is much safer with a nail gun.

One of the nice features of it is the safety
If you pull the trigger away from wood nothing happens. But if you then bounce it where you want the nail, it fires. makes for quick work.
 
I used to shot fire pins into structural steel beams , not unknown for one to come back at you if you were sloppy, but you learned fast!!.
 
Speaking of Simple Pleasures, I FINALLY got to teach one of my kids to ride! My wyfe taught both my boys to ride, so it was my turn today when my daughter learned to ride her Honda MB5 that I restored for her last year. She did GREAT! She does need to practice slipping the clutch instead of popping it, but the little MB5 was very forgiving with a tad high idle I can't seem to tame...

Yep I remember working on site in a stairwell when some nails were fired through the steelwork we were working on from the over side of the wall from us!
Only came through about a 1/4"
It woke me up , let's put it that way
 
Having fun removing several years of cobwebs and crap from the garage. One positive of lockdown ☺

The spiders may not agree.

Some lay themselves wide open on the forum, then whine when they receive criticism.
 
I was barefoot, no shirt, no helmet( that was for football), in shorts first time on a Cushman Eagle, so she looks GTG for slow.
 
Regarding dangerous hammers - many years ago in Kitchener Ontario I was working on construction, commuting on the Norton while wearing my nail pouch and heavy framing hammer. Stopped in the bar for a beer on the way home, The hammer was annoying me in the chair so I put it on the table. A waitress ran up to me and yelled at me "you have to check that thing" – turned out that she was yelling about my helmet and completely disregarding the hammer. Found out that about a week before somebody had swung his helmet by the strap at somebody else and injured him.
