Don’t feel like looking this up officially….and just some lunch time conversation….so answer isn’t really that important……..
But……I don’t think there’s anything wrong…..officially under the code…..or unofficially under the common sense code…….but appearantly there’s a back room crowd of carpenters that think it’s just plain wrong to gun nail gluelams of whatever lams ya gotta nail together.
I’m thinking handnailing stayed in favor because earlier guns just couldn’t get the job done. The boss insists on the extra strenght/thickness of pounders……so……that’s what I’m gonna continue to do……with the palm nailer………but……
Who says what? Legal…..illegal…..why or why not?
My new(ish) Paslode can stick them in….so…..I just might try and sneak one or two in every now and then! Unless the boss is reading this……then I won’t…..I promise.
Learn me something today………..Jeff
