As you saw in my last post<\/a> where I built a prototype MTG card tray, I had some pretty decent issues with wood splitting. In retrospect using screws on 1\/2″ mdf wasn’t the best choice. Initially I thought a brad nailer may have been the best choice. However I found an even better method thanks to Adam Savage and his YouTube channel, Tested<\/a>. In a couple of his recent videos he mentioned pin nailers. Pin nailers are like brad nailers but they shoot very thin fasteners that are virtually invisible once in your material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t had a chance to use it in any of my own projects yet but the results are quite amazing on some scrap MDF I had lying around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also put some pegboard up in the shed today, turned out quite nice. Next up will be a workbench to go under it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
