In Response To: Strip: Holes? What Holes? *Pic* (Allan)

If staples break the grain when they go in the wood you will probably keep seeing the holes, i love using nails, usually i use headless pins, the kind used for frames, loose, not the ones you have to use with a nailer, at less than 1mm thickness you hardly see the hole at all. Staples im always out, with nails i keep using the same ones over and over.
