I have been asked to do a repair on a piece of furniture. A piece of
1" pine measuring 6" x 18" has fallen off. the piece was assembled
using a nail gun with 6 nails at each end. These things protrude about
1" on the back side of the piece. Unlike nails which I could hammer
out these are to small and just bend.
Does anyone have a good idea on how to remove these easily?
Thanks for any and all help.

Pull them through the back using pliers. You'll end up with less damage to
the surface this way and because you are pulling rather than pushing the
propensity of the nails to bend is a non issue.
