Yeah but if you are actually selling your work and or trying to make
a living you would be using a nail gun too.Â* I do.Â* ;~)

While not using a nail gun or similar short cut tool is nothing any
of us want to do, it saves time and time is.......money..

Again, that depends on what one is building for what target market.
Christian Becksvoort doesn't...

LOL. And as soon as I hit send I thought of a few too.Â*Â* I might throw
in the stickler that if making "spec" inventory furniture you might not
use the brand or pinner gun.Â* When a customer is saying OK, now that we
have agreed on the design and price, when can you deliver...

I sell 90% of my work as ordered.Â* I'll use my pinner or my brad nail
gun to attach a gusset or reinforcement under a drawer, until the glue
dries.Â* ;~)

Sure. The point is that Norm on NYW wasn't building fine furniture but
doing home hobbyist projects...and custom cabinet making isn't the same
market, either, however well executed.

To complain of Norm and the brads is just missing the complete nature of
the beast and simply illustrates ignorance on the side of the
complainer, not a fault in Norm's technique.

Now, one could, if one so chose, take the basics of a project plan and
execute it with appropriate modifications for authenticity and technique
and turn it into something else, but that wouldn't be for the same
audience at all.
