    Let me know if that works, as I haven't seen ALL of my marbles in a while. There is a very scientific reason that things are ALWAYS in the last place you look. Very few people continue to search...

    Think of it this way

    How many programers does it take to change a light bulb?

    It cannot be done. It's a hardware problem.

    I'd like to see a separate subforum made for this effort with each entry highlighted in it's own thread. With as much "How it was done" as possible. Very interesting project.

    I think a 3/8" bolt has a 9/16" hex head. Drill chucks up on the bolt portion, hex head fits the press vise. Get one in Grade 8 or better and it should last a while.

    I guess it's a crap shoot. I've been using the same 3 brad nailers from HF for 4 years building beehives with no issues at all. Other than running out of nails and staples.
