I used a nail gun for the first time today

I'm helping to restore an old community hall. We've already replaced the walls, today I did the window and door trims and some molding around the place



Rumor has it, it was an old army barracks. More recently it was the local RSA (returned services association), before becoming a community hall.

It probably looked something like this back in the day



Reps till I'm out I guess
Damn

Nice, nail guns are a lot of fun, way better than smashing my hand at least once every time I use a hammer.

Das it mane. Nothing quite like building something and seeing the fruits of your labor everyday.

Although I would recommend to just use a hammer. With a nail gun, you don't get a feel for what you are nailing down.

It was fun, I think it ran on gas and a battery but wasn't heavy or awkard or anything.

Agreed!

I like hammers because it's what I'm used to, but for big jobs nail guns are super fast.

That's the problem with using alot of fancy tools nowadays. They don't give you that hands on feeling of what you are building. Its just speed speed speed.

With nail guns, yes, the job gets done faster, but its not as accurate as using a hammer to nail down every nail. Using a hammer gives you precise feel for the nail. You build this mental feel of how strong your nails are. Speed won't give you a quality build, and if the build is to last for a long time, spending an extra hour to go slower is well worth the investment.

Amish people can't use air guns. They require compressors which require electricity.

30 lashings in the town square for OP and his blasphemy.

Idk brah, this is my first time using one and my work was pretty clean. I guess it depends more on the operator, and using the right tool for the right job.

I've seen plenty of rough hammering too, if you miss the nail and hit the wood. Or bend the nail.
Damn

his train of thought is for the garage DIY'er with no dead lines to meet.

"Has the trim and base been put in, the finishers are coming in soon to primer" "no theory816 is refusing to use the nail gun but using a hammer, cause it gives him a better feeling"


not to mention your going to have a lot more patch work to do with a hammer

Im just saying in general hand built things are going to be more accurate and gives the builder a mental map of thing being built for a fraction of the cost.

And as you can see with the nail gun, you have to buy the gun, buy the compressor hoses, buy the compressor etc. the setup isn't very cheap vs just a simple hammer.

Nice work. My dad is so damn old school (and old!) that he still kind of looks down on anyone using a nail gun, but for me it's the only way.

I've never heard any sort of racist commentary from him, but there are/were basically no minorities where we grew up.
