WOODWORKING QUIZ FOR 8 Sept 04

[Ralph Jones]

Good Evening Friends,
When making face frames which of the following do you think is the fastest?

(A) Half Laps
(B) Mortise and Tenon
(C) Through Mortise
(D) Pocket Holes

Respectfully,

[Shane Watson]

D, unless you get someone else to do it for you, then your spending no time at all!

Hang on, is this a trick question? :confused:

[echnidna]

wriggle nails ??

[journeyman Mick]

Bob,
funny you should mention wriggle nails! I've been known to use biscuits and glue for alignment and wriggle nails out of my Bostitch wriggle nail gun to hold it all together while it sets.

Mick the rough

[mingus]

i'd say half laps, cos the bit you cut out is the same on both peices to be joined so theres only one tool to set up, but i've never used pocket holes.

[Robert WA]

Wots a wiggle nail?????

[silentC]

Wots a wiggle nail?????
It's one of them wriggly bits of tin with a sharp edge that you bang in with a hammer across the join. Looks like a tiny sheet of corrugated iron.

[Ralph Jones]

Good Evening Friends,
Those of you who chose pocket holes are the ones with the correct answer as you can put a face front together three to one of any other method.

However I myself only use them when a client is in a hurry for the piece.

Thank you for your support.

Gotcha SC.
I think there must be another name for them. I have never heard "wiggle nail" but have used what you describe. Damned hard to get the little devils in straight.

Was that repetition for emphasis.

Robert I've seen wriggle nails in Bunnings

[ozwinner]
