12 years on and its still in the shed i have not seen or heard from him since
That is most intriguing. I love the idea of a nail gun, but I also prefer good screws myself just in case I need to disassemble. Also, the construction, if done properly with screws, is less likely to split anything. But nothing beats a nail gun for ease and speed I'm sure. I have seen some interesting radiographs of skulls where nail guns fired inappropriately, so there is such a thing as a bit too quick
