Norm used brads as temporary clamping until the glue dried.

"Temporary" is what he kept saying, but I never saw him pull one
out.

Wow, really? You think that's what he meant by temporary?
You actually thought he was going to remove them? Of course you didn't.

When I hear him say that I'm thinking they hold the piece together until
the glue dries. I never thought for a second he'd remove them.

He's using something that's much weaker than a cured glue connection to
hold the pieces together until the glue dries.

When people, today, use glue and screws, they are being redundant. The
screws are doing nothing once the glue dries. I've used pocket screws
in unseen locations to clamp bookcases together while the glue dries,
because I didn't have enough clamps. I actually take the pocket screws
out and reuse them.
